Overall, the Dot Studio is an awesome option for someone who wants a good guitar and doesn't want to shell out. The 335 looks and vibe rock, and the sounds are sweet. It's great to perform with and gives a nice classy look on stage. It's comfortable, affordable, and an all around great guitar.
All in all I think the Epiphone Casino reissue is a great guitar for someone looking for a decent reissue of a classic. They seem well made and the parts are of decent quality. It offers a nice set of woody hollow tones that are close to a 330 or 335 but have their own sort of vibe going on. They run about $600 new which is a fair enough deal co...
All in all I think the Epiphone Sheraton II is a decent semi hollow body guitar for those who are looking for something upscale without spending a fortune. The stock electronics are pretty bad, but the quality of the guitar is decent and the feel is very nice. At $650 new I'd be inclined to get something cheaper like an Epi Dot and replace the p...
In short, get some new tuners and pickups and this is a jazz/blues machine. Epiphone has really come a long way in the last few years. These guitars are mere upgrades away from seriously rivaling Gibson, which has faltered. If you need a serious hollowbody on a budget, I can't recommend this enough. In the past I wouldn't went with another ma...
This was a great guitar to use and fit the bill nicely for what I needed it to do. The thing I liked least was the upper fret access and the bigger body - but it was not hard to work around those issues. I liked the overall playability and the classic rock tones it got the best - and it looked cool too! I borrowed this gui...
The Epiphone Casino really put Epiphone on the map in terms of a top quality guitar maker. The Beetles played these and many other British people have plyed these as well. It is more popular than the Gibson it is based on so that should tell you something. If you are looking for the classic British invasion look or just want a thinline hollowbod...
This guitar is good for some one who isnt looking for a primary semi-hollow guitar. This could be a good backup guitar or first semi-hollow guitar to see if you like the sound. I would recommend the Vox 77 semi-hollow guitar over this if you are looking for a mid level semi-hollow guitar that isnt as expensive as a Gibson. If you are just gettin...
The Casino is a classic Epiphone model. Frankly it is more popular than the Gibson it is based on because its prevalent use among British guitar players. That really says a lot about the quality difference between Epiphone and Gibson. It is a very versatile guitar and can do all of the classic styles of music. Many of the most popular records o...
All in all I think Epiphone has a great idea with this guitar. The construction is decent and the feel of the guitar is nice for a hollowbody. The biggest issue for me was that the electronics were basically junk, and being that it's a hollowbody, pickups and electronics are much harder to swap out, so I was stuck using the stock pickups and ele...
I think that this guitar is mainly made to capitalize on BB King's name. It's not that much of a quality guitar. It's also not that expensive, even new, so I guess that's why it isn't too impressive. I guess if you're a blues fan who just started playing, it might make a good purchase. I wouldn't recommend this to an advanced or intermediate pla...
