| Post subject: | Opinion on Silver Creek Cases. |
I ordered a Silver Creek Classical size case recently, in order to ship a fairly inexpensive guitar. The case has an arched top, crushed velvet green liner, and black pebble grain covering. It seems like an ok case, but I wanted to see if anyone here has had any negative experience with them, before I use one with any other guitars. |

I have bought a few of them. Nice case for the price range. |

I used them all the time and like them. Especially for the price. |

I don't know how they're priced but have you looked at Hiscox? Very light, strong and not crazy expensive, assuming they'll fit your instrument. FWIW their "large classical" case fits a Gibson L-00 shape pretty well. Kevin Looker |

The silver Creek classical case is not very deep. My standard sized classical 3-5/8" deep and does not fit that case. Musicians Friend states the depth as 4.5", but that s the dimension of the outside of the case. I'm getting the Humicase Protege case instead for student-level guitars which is deep enough. I also use Hiscox for customers who are willing to pay for a better case. |

I haven't had any negative experiences with them. Their classical size fits the large Torres body well. |

Thanks to everyone for the input. I tried the one I ordered with an LG-2, and a 14-fret L-00 and it was a good fit for both. |

My budget go to case is a Stage-3 case from Access cases. The interiors are far more plush and cushy than the silver creek. I just picked up 5 cases and I think they were about $70 each. They are a local company so I’m able to call in an order and pick them up. Nice folks, M |
