They're in good shape and have no modifications and also t. I have however played a Tokai Japan ES178 (335 Pro Copy) which belongs to the young guy who runs the local Buskers' Night and I have to say, it's probably the best guitar I've ever played! So much so, that when I got home I immediately looked them up on eBay.…. So I am thinking of buying an Epiphone Hollowbody, the Sheraton for instance, but now I don't know what I should do: buy a brand new china-made Sheraton 2, or I also have the occasion of buying 1988 Sheraton or a 2001 Korea-made Sheraton.

I also think the 335 Pro with the block inlays looks much nicer than the 335 Dot. Epiphone models were already a perfect fit for that genre. The 1960s saw the eruption of folk music. Flat-top acoustics like the Frontier was a match for any instrument currently on the Gibson line. I've not played an Epiphone 335, but I have played a 339 which was a decent guitar. The newer Sheraton and solid body Moderne black were also a huge success. If I had my time again, I'd *probably* go for a full size Casino, although I've never owned a 335 sized guitar. I haven't gigged it, but it nails the late 60's Beatles sound through my AC15. I love my Sheraton and its a fabulous guitar too.

Tonally, it's quite different to any of my current/ previous guitars due to being hollow bodied, and P90 pickups. The Casino, with its hollow body and P90s will be more dissimilar from your LP and its the one I would choose. My observations are that build quality and finish are very good, neck is medium, comfortable and playable, action is low, but could probably be lower with a good set up. I think I paid about £200 for it, and when it arrived it was in pretty much pristine condition. The Dot is a cheaper alternative to Gibsons ES-335, introduced in 1997. I bought a 'used' Casino Coupe in natural last year when I was on a major Beatles/ John Lennon kick. Epiphones Dot, Casino, and Sheraton are all very similar guitar models.
