Silver Creek

[Simon76]

I was going to order a Silver Creek T-170 this next week.

I think it's a MF private label brand.

The T-170 is their solid spruce, solid rose b/s, 1.75" nut, 24.9" scale auditorium model for $300.

 

MF has been showing them as a backordered till July.

Today I see they have dropped the listing altogether.

I guess they don't want to take any more backorders on them.

 

Music 123 still shows them but they have them jacked up to $400.

 

Any ideas on what's going on with the Siler Creek brand?

MF has been blowing them out cheap for quit a while now.

Blow out prices, backorders, listing pulled kind of tuff to figure out their plan.

 

 

 

If someone has a used one they are ready to sell, let me know.

I don't know if you can take advantage of it, but I just got a secret sale flyer in my latest order from MF. They have got some drop-dead low prices on the Silvercreek D-160 and D170 dreds.

I played a Silver Creek T-170 last week.

 

I came away unimpressed.

 

Poor build quality, cheap tuners and a very boxy / compressed tone.

 

I would buy a Parkwood OM if you want an inexpensive solid wood OM.

MF has even jacked up the D170 to $400 and no case.

you might check these out -- iirc they're the same guitar or awfully close

If you are going to be spending $400 you should consider a Seagull.

 

The are not all solid, but they sound really good.

+1 I was very unimpressed. There are so many guitars in that price range that will blow any Silver Creek away. They seemed very sloppy. My Yammie Lammie $100 guitar looks to have been built better.
