pauline Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I know these guitars vary greatly' date=' but in terms of quality, reliability and ease of modding: Epiphone Lucille Epiphone Casino (599 version) Fender Mexican Standard Stratocaster Fender Highway One Stratocaster I think most would pick the highway one because it is made in america, but I am sure sometime ago I read something bad about the Highway One Series, right here.[/quote'] slasher 1319 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre S Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 slasher 1319 Yea, yea, same questions, I know.....hey you'd be asking the same questions over and over again, if the best guitar within the country, was a mexican standard strat. Chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertjohn Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Really? I thought it was tough to choose between the Lucille and the Strat' date=' the Casino wasn't too much of a serious option that i was considering. I really like the lucille, but then if I am getting a semi-hollow, no matter what the majority says about the quality of epiphones or that theirs reached fine with no problems, (such as the post above you), i prefer to get a semi hollow from Gibson, thats the only reason thats keeping me from deciding on the Lucille. The strat is cool too, or I may just save the cash and put it towards an SG, which was a more long term guitar that I was saving for, ( when I say long term I mean I wouldn'tbe buying it anytime soon.) [/quote'] Wasn't saying a Lucille was not a good choice. Never played one but all the Epi semis I have played have all been great. I just want a Casino badly.

I know that you weren't saying it wasn't a good choice, I was just saying that for me, it isn't as important an option because I would prefer a semi hollow over a full hollowbody.

recsec Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Have you considered building a Guitar? I have a Strat with a Japanese body, Warmoth neck, and Japanese and Americans pickups (HSS), that I picked up for just a couple of hundred dollars,and it is a beautiful guitar both for looks and playability. From what I have been reading on Warmoth and StewMac websites, it might be a resonable project, give you some good experience and let you design exactly what you want.

[/quote'] I have, but if I were doing that, I would build a 54 black beauty LP Custom, the one with bigsby and well p-90's, not a strat. Painting it is also a problem.

myspace.com/jessenoah Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 japan made guitars are some of the best guitars on the planet for the budget weary musician (isnt that all of us except for tim? :- ) but mexican guitars usually are better then korean, china made, or any other oriental country!
