What hollow body epiphone

None. The original versions of those hollowbody guitars are precisely why there is a telecaster.

However...the Casino can be "twangy," and growl too! As can the Wildkat, though it's a

semi-hollow body. Both have warmer sounding P-90's as opposed to the "sharper" toned

single coil Tele pickups.

 

Best thing you can do, is try them out!

hey!

 

I would say to check out the Swingsters as another option.

 

they are setup with an out of phase setting (push/pull) and that definitely gives it a top end bite that would invoke a bit of that Telecaster magic.

 

Pull the tone pots out, and you have that traditional Gibby PAF sound.

 

I love mine, (white Royale) don't think I'd ever part ways with it.

 

but I have to say.. there is only one thing that's going to sound like a Telecaster...

 

A Telecaster...

 

Rock on!

I have a Casino Elitist, a Riviera P 93, a Chinese Dot, and a MIK Sorrento. I can get Tele like tones from the Casino and the P93, but they have a LOT more to offer, too. I like Tele's, but I like hollow body guitars, too, and Epiphone makes several great ones. The best thing it to try to play a few and see for yourself which is the best fit for you.
