What is your favorite Epiphone...?

I know that question is quite open, and many f you won't be able to pin it down to one but the Casino has a special place in my heart.

 

Its fully hollow body makes it just as much fun to play unplugged as to jacked into an amp. And when plugged in, the power of those P90s is truly amazing.

 

It has a certain look about it to. Whether its the Beatles influence, or something else, it just screams "cool".

 

That my two cents.

G'day,

 

Casino fits the bill for me but my G400 has tone that no P90 can achieve and visa versa. I love my Epi acoustic too but my "go to" guitar is certainly the Casino.

 

Aren't we lucky to have choices?

I love all my Epi's... my fave is my early '70's FT570SB jumbo acoustic... I bought 5 years ago used in mint shape with deluxe hardsell case for $375.. it looks beautiful, plays great and sounds unbelievable ... it was $199 in the '74 Epi catalog... this guitar has no buisiness sounding this good... my fave electric is my '56 Goldtop.. bought it used for $400 w/ deluxe case 3 years ago next week.. it was flawless when I bought it, don't think it had been played more than a few times... the P-90's sound so good, and plays like a dream.. the build quality is top shelf, as good as most Gibson's I've played... want the Firebird Studio next...

 

Peace!

My Les Paul Ultra is far away my favorite guitar in all time, and believe me, I had a lot of guitars including some other Epi Les Paul and Dot.

I found this Ultra so good, it makes me hesitate to buy a Gibson Les Paul that I'm dreamin of for a so long time...

The often underrated Setneck Epi 57 RI Les Paul Junior is a great tone machine! Since they went with the P100 PU (Ugh!) Simply modify with a true P90 of your choice and oh yeah!!! one of the best modern day Epi's to hit the scene! =P~

Les Paul Elite - 2003 honeyburst - my dream guitar

My favorite players all played an LP at one time or another (mine resembles Clapton's "Beeno" LP). I love everything about mine (weight included, makes it 'feel' like rock-n-roll).

 

A Wildkat may be in my future, but not until I find time enough to commit to it properly. It would always be my 2nd anyway given my musical directions. (Actually my 3rd, as I have an open tuning/slide-dedicated, humbuckered, Korean Strat-body clone thing that already shines as my 2nd.)

 

Hit every BLUE NOTE baaaby..., I'm going to play on:-"

Epiphone makes several terrific instruments that belie their "budget" status. I have wanted a blond Sheraton II for several years, and finally got one in trade. It lives up to my expectations.

 

The ivory LP with the alder top is a very attractive guitar (but I already have a Gibson LP); the Emperor Regent and the Joe Pass are remarkable bargains; the Jack Casady bass has many fans in the bass world.

 

Then there's the Broadway (I'm partial to f-hole guitars).

 

The only one not out there is the "lpdeluxe signature Sheraton" which would be blond maple body and neck, natural blond peghead, mini-humbuckers and a Bigsby.

 

So of course that's my favorite.
