Members gergbee Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 Hi, I have been thinking about getting a case for my Squier VM Thinline but I don't want to spend a lot on one. I see that Musician's Friend has these cases and I was wondering if anyone has one. I have read mixed reviews online but what I am most concerned with is that some people say a Tele style guitar doesn't really fit properly. If you have one, what are your views? Anyone have any other case suggestions? Thanks, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlbonehead Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I have a LP one. Pretty solid for the price. That said, I just got a Coffin case for some of my Tele style guitars. Gonna try it tonight. This model. Got it on the 15% off deal. http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Coffin-Case-The-Coffin-Undertaker-Guitar-Case?sku=583680 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlbonehead Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 Rondo has a decent looking Tele/Strat case for $49 but the shipping takes away the value some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PunkKitty Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I have a couple of them. The tweed cases are much nicer than the black ones. No problems. They do their jobs. Order them from M123 with the UPROMISE code to get 15% off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gergbee Posted December 31, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 Thanks for the info. Dammit, I can't get ahold of my uncle in Yuma to get that 15% off deal. He's my "shipping company" up to Canada. How often do these promo code deals come up? He usually doesn't come back home til spring so I may have time to wait for another one.

Members tlbonehead Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 My CV tele wouldn't fit in the white coffin case I had. just trued three of mine and they all fit very nicely. Probably order a couple more at that price. I really don't like rectangle cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Woody_in_MN Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I have one in black. For a mostly stay at home case, it is just fine. I think you could even do some giging with it. Probably 7 out of 10 for durability. As far as promotions go - you just can never tell. In my mind, I was totally surprised at the lack of great after christmas deals. Watch the "Great Deals" sticky. But I think the best all around deal right now is 15% off at MUSIC123 with "UPROMISE" code. I think you will be fine with the Musicians Gear case. - w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 Are the tweed ones built better or do they just look nicer? The only negative I saw about the one I bought for my stepson to go with a Squier '51 was that it was thicker, top to bottom, than a similar tweed Fender case. I really didn't quite get that, seems like a snugger fit would be more ideal, but I thought the construction quality was adequate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MattLivingInVan Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 i use a tweed one.no problems thus far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mikesr1963 Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I have 4 of them. A Les Paul model, acoustic model, and two for standard strat style. There great cases, not just for the money, but great cases all around. I had a tweed one years ago, but the interior wasn't like what they show on the website. It was a cheap brown fuzz I didn't like at all, but as for protection it was fine. My son has one and even took in on an airplane to South America and back without any problems.

Members FrankenTelly Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I think you could even do some giging with it. Probably 7 out of 10 for durability... It's more like 4 out of 10. I have a couple that 3 and 4 years old now. I used one of them for gigging for a while and it started breaking quickly and retired it from gigging. I ended up getting a cheap-o hardshell SKB freedom case. This has been better, not perfect, but better that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Woody_in_MN Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 ^^^ Now that I think more about it, the strat case I have is a Rondo case - not Musician's Gear. But I do I have 2 MG LP cases, and they are too small for one of my LP's. The MG cases I do have, I think a person could do some giging with. But I tend to treat all my equipment gently. So your mileage may vary. - w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vespertine Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I bought a tweed one for my CV Tele and the thing is just gorgeous. Looks durable as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Humbug Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 WWBW has the black ones on sale for $40.00... "upromise" gets you another 10% off. Free shipping over $49.00. Perhaps you need two ? http://www.wwbw.com/Search/Default.aspx?internal=1&src=guitar%20case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PunkKitty Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 Are the tweed ones built better or do they just look nicer?I have them both. IMHO, the tweed cases are built better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr_GoodBomb Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I just ordered one to fit my three basses in (bass case, of course). I only ever take one at a time to shows, so I figured having one case that will (hopefully, maybe) fit them all will be a plus. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members _pete_ Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 The tweed are better built and do fit Tele's just fine. But..I got one of the Musician's Gear Vintage cases for my PRS and it is even nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members B Money Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I have the black Les Paul style case, bought it for $39.00 on sale. Well worth that price, it's relatively durable and fits the guitar just fine. If you don't want to shell out a fortune on a case, you could do a lot worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Prages Posted December 31, 2009 Members Share Posted December 31, 2009 I've got the LP case and the tweed Strat case. They both seem reasonably solid. Not the best cases I own, but unless you're really throwing your stuff around, they should be fine. I've had the LP case for about 2 1/2 years and the Strat case for about 1 1/2. Both have been taken to gigs at least a few times, and both are still solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
