jutter 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2018 Hi! I'm searching for an ES330-335 copy between 500 and 1000 dollars. P90's are a must! Any ideas or advise? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G Mac 174 Report post Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Hey, jutter! Welcome to the forum! My suggestion would be to buy an Epiphone...very nice guitars; very affordable. A Casino if you want an ES-330 thing with P-90's. The Casino is Epiphone's version of the 330. It was good enough for John Lennon! Being totally hollow, it requires some care to keep it from feeding back. My ES-330 is stuffed with surgical cotton for that purpose and it works well! Hope your search works out well. Post some pics when you make your purchase! Edited December 7, 2018 by G Mac Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larsongs 221 Report post Posted December 8, 2018 I own 3 Casinos. A Vintage Sunburst Ltd. Edition Peerless Casino with Bigsby, a John Lennon Revolution Casino in Natural & a Vintage Sunburst 50th Anniv. Reissue 1961 Casino with Tremotone. All 3 are fabulous Guitars. I would like to add an Elitist Casino as well. I also own a 2012 Vintage Sunburst Gibson ES335 with MHS Pickups which is dynamite Guitar! If you want to go upscale I would have no hesitation with one of the higher end Epi Casinos like the Terada built Elitist. I would bet it's equal to a USA ES330 but less expensive...

Larsongs 221 Report post Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) Also, the Inspired By John Lennon Series are excellent Casinos & should be in your price range. A Peerless Casino is too. If you can find one.. The Ltd Edition Gary Clark Jr. Blak n Blu Casinos (with or without Bigsby) is another great choice in your price range.. All have Gibson USA P90's & upgraded USA Sswitchcraft Components... Edited December 12, 2018 by Larsongs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
