FreeMoney Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 So, as my graduation present, I've pretty much decided I want a new guitar. Right now my decision is more or less down to either the Limited Edition Riviera P93, a Sheraton II, or a Casino. I play mostly rhythm (rock, some blues...bit of everything really), so I'm looking at the semi/hollow sound. Which would you guys recommend and why?

collin Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 this is too funny, my graduation gift is between a riviera limited edition, casino, lucille, goldtop 56 or standard plus top. I play similar stuff to you, and I am going with the lucille, most likely. It has more versatability, the varitone, and it is not prone to feedback if your music takes a more distorted side. the casino would be most prone to feedback, and i think its only good for clean stuff, which i dont play much of. the riviera is cool too, cos i am adding a bigsby probably when i get it and this has one already, but truly i prefer humbuckers and the varitone allows for single coil mix. btw it would help to know your current gear.

FreeMoney Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Right now I'm playing on a Jackson Dinky...not exactly the best fit for what I'm trying to do most of the time. My amp is a Ibanez TB50R 50W Tone Blaster, and I use a Digitech GNX3 for effects. Not all the best stuff, but eh, I get by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 The best advice I can give, is to (if at all possible) go to a large guitar retailer and play each of your possible choices until you find the exact tones you want. If they don't have 1 of them, (most likely the Riviera) then grab a guitar with similar wood & pickup configurations, (such as a Dean Palomino, or Casino for the Rivvie) Listening to what we tell you, will never be as good as your own ear. I'm very partial toward my Sheraton II, but, I "test drove" it, a Dot,Dot Deluxe,& Casino as well as several other brands of semi-hollows,with various pickups before making the purchase.
