I did it on that archtop that's older than most of the folks on this forum (1950s) regardless that there are claims of it being a gerontocracy. #EPIPHONE SHERATON II VS EPIPHONE CASINO PRO#Let’s dive deeper with research to find out what exactly makes the Sheraton II Pro so good and so popular. Undoubtedly, this semi-hollow guitar is definitely worth every cent. It looks beautiful, it’s really well made and it sounds amazing. I had a tendency to find someplace to brace the pinkie when doing single string or double stops even with the flatpick.Īs for removing it. The truth is that Epiphone Sheraton II Pro is an absolutely fantastic guitar. I was flatpicking at the time, so not that big a deal, although even then. #EPIPHONE SHERATON II VS EPIPHONE CASINO FULL#When I was doing country-rock gigs with a full archtop I made the error of taking off the pickguard to show the pretty archtop. I think leaving the pickguard on is a must for archtops and semis if you fingerpick. I guess I've gotta be classed in that bunch. Many, if not most of the old time fingerpickers, I think, ended up doing variations on that. I've never looked at Knopfler vids to see his bracing fingers on the pickguard until it was mentioned here. I'm not sure it's vital depending on how you play. It's just not that big a deal to me although I've wondered about a Joe Pass with bad electronics replaced with P90s. Okay, not only am I old, I guess I must be a bit of an oddball because my guitar buys have been based on playability rather than pretty. Welcome to the Forum and enjoy your latest purchase. #EPIPHONE SHERATON II VS EPIPHONE CASINO PLUS#They sound very very sweet and toneful especially in that guitar and also sound good and come stock in the epi Les Paul plus top pros. I have tried several epi sheraton II pros with the maple neck and coil tap Probucker pickups which are alnico II. Watch eBay for the black guards (like this ), then get a bracket and E. It may have been the maple neck vs a 335 mahogany neck. I might to get some made up and sell them on eBay. The dimensional Epiphone Epsilons can be pricey, and for some reason, the foil ones have kinda disappeared. You might even consider a tortoise guard like this, it would be my second choice for a natural Casino. It's very difficult (but not impossibe) to change the covers out, from chrome. If anyone here has a Black pickguard for the Casino with the EPI logo on it I would be interested in purchaing it.Īnyway enuff of that. And that makes a difference to cuz now my fingers and thumb are lower to the strings. ![]() Worrying about scratching the finish when playing but was thinking, I do plant my two little fingers on the guitar similar to Knopfler, now it will be the body, normally would be the pickguard. Getting my camera back in a couple of days out for repair Will try take some picks. ![]() For info, the Epi Casino I just got is a 2008. I would like to get a black pickguard with the C- Epi stamp on it. Is a pickguard not available at Epiphone? I'm not great with this computer stuf. Take off the chrome and put on the plastic or is it a total new pickup with different cover? ![]() Is the black on the pu's a plastic cover. Clean it has a nice chime to it and when pushed with some gain it has a nice edginess I like. I'll also appreciate it's greater degree of clarity and for me it's actually a more versatile guitar than the Sheraton II was. Hahaha.Īnyways, yes, I am rambling because it is 2 am in Malaysia, and I have tonnes of work to do and at the same time trying to figure out which guitar I should buy.Ya, the black PUs finish it off, but the black guard looks good with chrome ones, too. The Casino has a very unique voicing all of it's I have not found with any other guitar. But you can probably figure out that I am trying to decide this based on the aesthetics of these two guitars. Yes the Sheraton has a coil splitting, that’s a bonus. My Gear Acquisition Syndrome is unfortunately acting up while Covid situation in my country is not so good, all guitar stores can only operate for online purchases. Guitars that I own - Fender American Standard Strat in Olympic White, Epi Les Paul Studio in Ebony, Taylor GS Mini Rosewood, Epi EJ200-CE in Sunburst, and Cordoba C5-Ce.Īnother thing is I have never tried any of these guitars. But I am obviously gravitated towards the 335 as well since a Cherry finish is available. I love the block inlays on the Sheraton, the bindings, the Tree of Life headstock. Price difference in my country (Malaysia) between the 2? Around USD 85 as I am getting a discount on the Sheraton Natural finish since it is considered as a New Old Stock. The Epi ES-335 in Cherry Red is available in my country. ![]() I am very 50-50 about it, but it does not seem to be available in my country anyway. The Epi Sheraton II Pro has a Wine Red color option. My dream guitar is the Gibson ES-355 in Cherry Red with Bigsby. ![]()
