There have been several threads over the past three or four weeks about cases. Now, I know nothing about TKL or Access, or Calton, etc., But if you aren't familiar with the ones Grizzley has, you might consider them for the stay at home guitar or for your lower end models, although, in appearance, they would work with any level guitar. It's the first I've owned so I don't know how well it will hold up, but I really like it. Strong, well padded, and nice looking. It has a flat back but an arched top.

Their regular price is $80, but they were on sale a couple of weeks ago and I got this for $60. Wonderful case for the money.

Hey, that's a nice looking case. I wish I had a case..... of beer that is.

Judging by the 2 screw located nicely for TKL to put their name plate on with I would say that looks like the Bottom end TKL case that is made in Montreal. TKL just charges more to get their name on them.

Actually, if you buy them by the dozen (or, I think even a case of 4) you can get a better grade of TKL for less money from Jones-Fletcher. Those have 4 drawbolts (one locking) instead of 3 and are probably a bit more substantial.

that's very unlikely to PREOTECT your guitar....

This cas has four latches also, the fourth is by the strap on the back corner of the lower bout.

The Case of Beer is to ease the pain of ...... listening to me play guitar.   

Nice case Ron, you grizzled old veteran.

Not bad looking. Is it a 3 ply of 5 ply? I guess I could look up at Grizzly. It does look like a OEM TKL with plush interior instead of crushed velour. In fact it looks just like the cases that came with my Alverez Yairi WYK-1 and Alverez Proffecional-920c but still at $60 on sale is more than what I give for the Access Stage Five’s and if I am correct about this being the same case that cane with my Alverezes it has about 1/3 less padding than the Stage Five and is 3 ply vs 5 ply. That is not intended to be a criticism just a courious observation.MichaelP38733.5647337963

Thanks for the info guys. I had minor flooding in my basement after a heavy rain that knocked out my power, thereby losing my sump pump, and lost a bunch of cases as a result. No, homeowners wouldn't cover it. So, needless to say, I've got a generator now, but never replaced the cases. Thanks again.

Don't give up Craig, i hope you have a bit of help for the clean up.

actually these screws hold in the wall of the accessory compartment I believe.
