bdood9 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Anyone find a hardshell case for the Shuriken yet? I know there's nothing built specifically for it at this point. I see 3 or 4 baritone cases out there that look like they could work. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe ask on the Shuriken guitars FaceBook page - surely if anyone'll know, it'll be Stevic himself - though I'm guessing, he's using a custom made flight case....

Skipernicus Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I have the SR 270, and haven't found a good case yet. I've asked the good people at Sweetwater to check out candidates for me (they will, if you tell ask specifically if the Shuriken fits a particular case) - so far, I haven't found a winner. Short of buying (or building) a custom flight case, I think you're best served looking at bass cases - maybe take your axe into you local guitar super store and try some on. BC Rich has made some colossal guitars - I use one of their cases for my Variax acoustic (mine is still to short for the Shuriken) - but the BC Rich Beast is a HUGE guitar - maybe one of those cases would be a good candidate - those cases are 4 feet long. (As I write this, I'm away from my Shuriken and a tape measure, so I can't say for sure). As I recall (and maybe I'm wrong, so don't quote me) - but I think Stevic had mentioned at some point using a custom flight case, as guys in internationally successfully bands have budgets for such things, and I'm sure his sees way more miles than mine does. If you find a good answer, be sure to post it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipernicus Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I haven't personally confirmed this, but someone on Amazon said this Coffin case fits the SR270: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FIS0DGY/?coliid=I38IVHLXMYVY65&colid=D6J4FGNHV8HY&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Also, from the Facebook Page: "An update on the hard case question for the SR270. Here are two options shared by Shuriken users Martyn River Gap Heeks and Brandon Downs. The first image is a STAGG brand case (not sure on the model) and the second image is a GATOR branded case (with the extra room above the headstock) https://bit.ly/2J6cHIY. If anyone finds the GATOR model, I'll post it in this thread. Someone said: Gator hard-shell wood case for Thunderbird bass PG Muns Gruv Gear Sliver- fits just right Hope that helps!

ddmiller Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I got the Gator Case from Sweetwater. The size is right, but the guitar kind of slops around inside. I made forms and covered them in faux-fur. It's working great, although the guitar is upside down. That makes the handle in the wrong place for the case to be balanced properly while carrying. Not a big deal to me. I've brightened up this photo so you can see the details of the black guitar in a black case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legatus Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 For anyone looking for a case for the Shuriken Variax 250, take a look at the ChromaCast CC-PS-STEHC. Not a big job to adapt it to the Variax 250. See photos below showing the SR250 in the case.
