Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | As I read through the info I can find... sounds like we may need to be careful about the deep bowl skb 8210 case. Deep bowls may not fit!!
The 6774 Folklore, which is a mid bowl cutaway, Fits perfectly in this case. The case is sturdy and lightweight with a nice sized compartment...
I am thinking I mighta tried to to put my 1537 (deep bowl) in this case and it didn't fit, not sure...
I will check again and report back. |

I put the FD14, U681t and 1537 in this case and they all fit very, very nicely. The case even accomodated the two walnut knobs on the 1537.
Both, the 1537 and Uterus have dunlop straplok buttons. Not a problem, the case is made to accommodate them.
The 6774 also fits very nicely.
This case is well fitted, for all the aforementioned guitars. The compartment is every so slightly larger than the O deluxe case and they are very similar in weight.
The 2 lid stops (top restraints) on the SKB seem to better than the 1 lid stop on the O' D'lux.
All-n-all seems to be a top flight case..
...maybe the reviewer on above link ordered or received the wrong size case. There is no model # or other identifying codes on this case. |

Location: Hicksville, NY | I have a case exactly like it for my shallow bowl balladeer. The top has a pseudo bell curve arch, and the back is shaped like a bowl that it rests at about a 15-degree angle when it lays flat on its back. I thought such cases are common and plentiful ... I guess I might be wrong ... :rolleyes: |

| Is this the one you mean? Just got this and the Balladeer inside on e-bay. Wondered if it really fit the shallow bowl.

Location: Hicksville, NY | Nope, it looks exactly like the one that's in Jeff's opics website (the one with the watchdog :) ). It doesn't have the "SKB" written anywhere, so I'm not really sure who made it. At this point, it provides great protection for my guitar, so I have nothing to complain or make a big fuss about. :) |

Location: Chicagoland | My celebirty came with a case just like that( the zzounds link)...either it's simply a newer case, or it's something they give out with the Korean models. |
