So I'm getting a new guitar soon, but I can't decide between a Casino or a Dot. I prefer the P-90's to humbuckers, not to mention the Casino's Beatle-esque sound. But, my uncle told me that you can't play loud on full hollow body guitars. Is this true? And could anyone with experience with both guitars (Or the ES-330 and ES-335) help me?

 

Thanks!

walk in to a shop, try em out ;/

1: go with the casino

2: "loud" is relative... you cannot crank it up for some heavy distortion stuff. it'll have more feedback, yes, but the so called sustain block inside will prevent lots of it...

3: a full hollowbody will have feedback troubles, that's true, at least if you distort it quite a bit. but neither the dot nor the casino is a full hollowbody. the sound from a full and a semi hollowbody differs very much, you cannot confuse that...

It also depends on what you want to play. I just bought a new guitar and tried out the Epiphone Casino, but not the Dot. The Casino deff has a nice clean sound to it, but I hated the feedback when you put the distortion on.

 

The guitar I got was an Epiphone Sharton which has a little bit of both worlds. Clean sounds awesome and sounds amazing with distortion and metal even. It should be about the same price as the Casino.

 

But really you need to go to where ever you are buying this guitar and try them both out and see which one you really really love;)
