Which guitar would YOU choose?

[Session 5]

I scrapped the Firebird idea in favor of something hollow- or semi hollow with P90's. I'm about to flip a strat and one out means one in. So, what dou you think, an Epiphone Casino Worn or a Guild Starfire I Jet 90? The Epi is completely hollow and costs about $200 less. The Guild is semi hollow and comes with three P90's.

I'm expecting a lot of different, well founded and throughly motivated opinions

@Ramo you can just look at the pretty colors

I like the guild!

I dont think @Astral Traveler would be pleased with that hole it too big lol

Try an Epi 339 if you want a nice Semi Hollow, or a Washburn like mine, HB 30 HB 35S like DonO's, I have a sweet ES 135 too.

I don’t know the Washburn model numbers that well, Chilli, mines a HB-35S. I bought this used from a GC about 20 years ago. It does not get played enough. It is a really nice playing guitar, the neck is full but not chunky. The 2 HBs will do jazz to hard rock. I had loaned this to a good friend, guitar teacher of mine back then, and he gigged with it for about 3 months.

I owned a Guild Starfire IV and it was a fantastic guitar. I vote Guild...

Corrected, in my original post, Dono

Well, the Strat is flipped, for a profit. Now... What to do?

I'd take the Epi. The head stock on the other one is Fugly.

In all seriousness, those Dommenget acoustic Vs are really well-made and good-sounding instruments. They aren’t cheap, either. The one in my post was custom-built for Rudolph Schenker By Boris Dommenget.

The unconventional, quirky side of me would kind of like to have one.

GUILD... DO IT!

 

[Session 5]

GUILD<GUILD<GUILD!

 

[Sapient]

I'm in for the Guild. I want two though so I can send one to my buddy "Rockin'" Ramo!

WaHoO!!!

 

[El Degas]

The upper fret access is terrible on the Epi so I would say the Casino guitar is a bit of a gamble. But the Guild has better upper fret access and looks better. The award goes to Guild.

 

[Alex_SG]

I would personally go with the Casino, but I'd have no problem with the Guild if it sounded and felt better. I know that sounds obvious, but that's how I roll...

 

[smitty_p]

I like the guild!

Yeah, I gotta say that Guild looks really sweet!

I‘m liking that one.

 

[C-Grin]

GET A GROTE AND "F" the REST!

I scrapped the idea of a new guitar because if I'm honest, I need one about as much as a hole on my head. I should actually sell a few more but I don't think I can bring myself to it, and all of the ones I have now I could see myself playing live.

I did however order a new (used) amp as a complement to the one I already have.

Good on ya for thinking clearly about what you really do, and don’t, need!
