Location: Colorado | Hi guys,
I've had a 6778lx for a while and finally got around to buying a hard case for it. I bought an 8158 case for it but the case is too deep. It says its for medium/deep depth O's. My question is how in the world can you possibly use this case with a medium depth bowl as it states? I can shake the 6778 around inside this thing! What case fits the 6778 perfectly?.
Thanks,
John |

Location: Colorado | Thanks for the reply...I bought it "slightly used" from a music store on ebay. The case looked new to me but it may have been used I guess. I also have an orange flame O and that case fits good but it is a different style case, it has the bout contours in it whereas the 8158 does not. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I've upgraded your membership to post in the general section and moved this post there as well. "Slightly Used" from a music store may mean they stored a guitar in it, or delivered a guitar in it, or someone bought a guitar and didn't want the case... but in any event, if it had a larger guitar in it for any amount of time, that would be all it takes. As far as I know there are only basically two sizes of cases and mainly divided between shallow and mid/deep, regular and deluxe. The older guitars has a deeper bowl, but I think it's the same case. Someone else probably has more info on this. |

Location: Northwest Arkansas | When I got my Adamas I got the deep case and my Adamas was mid-bowl. There's not a mid-bowl case. In 7 years it's been in the case it came with and it's fine. |

Location: Michigan | if you bought the case on e-bay make sure that you check the spelling on the brand of the case. it should spell ovation , not oration . those overseas copy cats are good . GWB  |
