Nifty. Two questions:

1) Who's the dapper, stylish, man-about-town modeling the case in the photo?

2) I can't tell from the photos whether or not the case is padded? My Case Logic PDC-1 bag fits the Empeg nicely, but its lack of padding was a problem when I dropped it once (I cracked a corner of that nice new green faceplate I ordered).
