Clanky44 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Hey folks, I'm continuing my search for a hollow, semi-hollow bodied Epi. My top three picks,... The natural maple finish '65 Elitist Casino from Sweetwater. The '61 reissue Casino, (if I can find the Royal Tan?!?), and a used Tobacco sunburst Sheraton, there's a 1999 Samick (Korea) available from Lighthouse sound. I'd really appreciate if someone could confirm the serial code in relation to the build date for me. (Serial code S99015420, 1999) thanks, Frank http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1999-Epiphone-Sheraton-ES-335-Archtop-Guitar-w-Gig-Bag-/350517865656?pt=Guitar&hash=item519c7e2cb8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clanky44 Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Samick, Korea Jan 99 Thanks Pete! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 $530 + $60 shipping seems like a lot for a Korean Sheraton tobacco with a gig bag. If you're going to spend that, why not hold out for the Elitist Casino? That's a way better guitar than both of the other options... You might also considet the MIC IBJL Casino, which at least has USA electronics... http://www.musicians...electric-guitar PS, the Casino is a full hollow body while the Sheraton is a semi hollow.

That was my take too, I'll eventually pick up a Sheraton, but not this one. I have just completed my order to Sweetwater for the Elitist Casino.... I really hope I don't get a call from them stating that the Elitist cannot be shipped to Canada, I know some brands have shipping restrictions.... Cross my fingers,.... thanks, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
