2000 Starfire 4 case question

Frank4001 · May 24, 2013

As some of you know I just bought a 2000 Starfire 4. It's really working out well and I need a lightweight case for it. I tried a decent gig bag that had a neck pad but I want a something more like this...

I bring 3 - 4 guitars to my current gig and I come in while everyone is asleep. I hit the wall with a hard case and I wake everyone up soooo......

Will a 335 size fit? Anyone know?

Thanks

I would think that a 335 case should do the trick. You may look at Epiphone cases for their 335 version, as well as a Sheraton and Casino; they are all about the same size.

Frank,

Take a look here.

All the best,

Thanks... Some good info on sizing. Maybe a really good stiff type bag may be as easier rout than the soft case as far fit goes...

Actually, starfires are 16 1/4" on the lower bout. Check the Newark Street SFIV review for the tkl part number.

Have you looked at this thread?

Depending on your budget you may want to consider the Reunion Blues Continental. It is padded, but internally it provides excellent protection to the guitar. A bit pricey new, but perhaps craigslist or Ebay have them cheaper.

I use a Reunion Blues Continental with my Starfire II. Love it. Found it here on the forum used and in excellent condition...

I did, thanks. I have a call into TKL dealer to see if their "zero gravity" case may fit. Still waiting to hear.

A stiff type bag may be the way to go... It happens I have another odd shaped guitar I'm in the same boat with.. A Martin J-40.

As problems go these are pretty good one's to have....

Thoought I'd update this thread.
I was not able to get a TKL Zero Gravity Case but I stumbled upon an Access Stage 3 Semi-Hollow bag at a music store. This is the older generation model. Very stiff, good padding, nice long neck cradle and lots of pockets. Really good and they were selling it cheap for $75.00. The fit is a touch tight but it's not difficult to close at all. It's the one on this page.. http://www.carryaccess.com/closeoutbags.htm
