I'm not a huge fan of theirs but I just finished watching the Lifehouse concert on PBS Soundstage.

They had a really tight live sound.

They used mostly Gibson guitars but the singer, Jason Wade, also used a Casino.

Their lead player used a 12 string Riviera and a Casino on a couple of songs.

He had the biggest pedalboard I've ever seen. Lots of delays and vibrato/tremolo stuff.

Very impressive collection of Casino's and Gibby hollow bodies, including an old 330...

On stage live- those P90's really growl...

I bought The Best of The Johnny Cash TV Show on DVD the other day, and Carl Perkins played an Epi for his performance of Blue Suede Shoes.

 

I don't know what model it was, but someone might:

 

Hollowbody, single cutaway, thinline, oversized (Sheraton-style) headstock.

 

It was shot sometime between 1969 and 1971. It looked like a Kat, but bigger.

I'm watching Letterman now, and the Vampire Weekend started playing... I wasn't paying attention, but I could hear them... I thought "that must be a Sheraton"

 

And I looked up, and it was.

 

The bass player was playing something that looked like a Sorrento, but I couldn't tell. The reception's terrible, but I think it had a Gibson headstock.

There's players in the blues world (with CD's and who tour) that play and record with Asian-made Epi's:

 

Duke Robillard, Luther Allison, Larry Garner, Dave Spector, and Rusty Zinn (played with Kim Wilson and other blues bands). I talked to Rusty Zinn a couple years ago when he was on tour playing with Mark Hummel (during a break in the gig). He was touring with a Korean Riviera as his main guitar, that he bought used for $350 and he kept it stock.
