  1. I see those pop up on eBay from time to time... I can't say I've read any positive reviews of it, though.. That's probably why they don't make 'em anymore..
  2. There's a guy on eBay who sells engraved Epi and Gibson TRCs.. I got one from him for my Dot.. (I didn't care for having the word "Dot" on the TRC... I dunno.. Just looks a little dumb to me..) I think it cost $11 plus 2 bucks for shipping... Not bad... Fits better than the stock TRC, but your results may vary.
  3. I heard they stopped using the "Gibson" TRC in '99...
  4. That's always been the problem with the micro-tilt necks, hasn't it? When you use the tilt adjustment, the neck heel is no longer making full contact with the wood...
  5. I don't own a Sherry, but a good friend of mine does, so I've played his a lot.. The Sherry's a great guitar, but I think I prefer my Casino.. It could be the way my friend has his set up.. He plays a lot of jazz, so he's got real low action (a little too low for me) and flatwound strings on his.. He's also got Gibson 498's or 490's in it.. It's got a very sweet tone to it with the flatwounds on.. The way we usually describe the difference is; his looks prettier, mine sounds meaner... :-) But the Casino can also sound very chimey and shimery.. I like the way it can go from growly to glassy.. It's very versatile.. The only thing I don't like about the Casino is the price... I think the Sherry is more worthy of the $600 price tag, with all its abalone and pearl inlay and the binding and purfling and all the cosmetics... It IS a pretty guitar.. The Casino is a little more basic, cosmetically.. I think the only reason it doesn't cost the same as a Dot is because they throw on a $200 "Beatle Tax"... I hate to say it, beacuse I LOVE the guitar (and the Beatles, obviously), but give us a break here! Anyway, to sum up... They're both great guitars.. But I think the Casino has a broader tonal range... That's just my opinion.. You should do what Notes said and A/B them side by side.. No one can tell you which is the best guitar for you..
