I had a Chinese Casino (Goldtop).  It was as cool looking as can be, but it played like a strung up cigar box.  Even after a setup, it wasn't easy to love.  The P90s sounded great plugged straight in to a cranked tweed Bassman, but what doesn't?  Otherwise, it just didn't do it for me.  I finally sold it to Chicago Music Exchange, and I don't miss it one bit. 

I'm sure there are some great Casinos out there, but that's definitely a guitar I'd suggest trying before you buy.

Good to know.  If I was to get something to replace the Gibson ES-330, I would probably look at an Eastman T64.

My daughter got her bumblebee telecaster today.  She was stoked, and so was I.

Saw the One o'Clock Lab Band do their fall show last week in Denton and the guitarist, a sophomore, was playing one of these but the -335 version with hum buckers.  It was a smooth guitar.

I have a G&L Tribute S-500, which is like a Strat with MFD pickups and a toggle switch to turn on/off the neck pickup so you can get all 3 pickups at the same time, or a neck-bridge comb.

Its heavy and very well made. It uses the same MFD pickups as the real G&L but with cheaper electronics and hardware elsewhere. The only flaw is the 2-point whammy. It isn’t as stable as advertised, and the intonation goes off when I dive bomb.

 

I’m actually looking to sell mine if you’re interested. It’s Olympic white in mint/excellent condition. I’m selling it to fund a Les Paul type guitar.

Anybody ever played a G&L?? It looks nice and pretty at least. And it’s not made in China, so that’s a plus. Right? I assume made in Indonesia is better.

That's a nice guitar. Like really nice. I personally don't mess with a trem or floyd rose and perfer hard tail because I am not that great of a player and I don't play around with that but I would like this guitar.

Fender has a lake placid blue that is far bluer than the g&l. I just did a Google search on the the G&L lake placid and the shades are kind of all over the place.  Before you buy, you should see if this is the color you are getting or ask Sweetwater for more details.

What kind of music are you playing?

I play the kind of music where if you listen closely you can JUST make out what I’m trying to play

My #1 is a G&L Tribute semi-hollow Tele.  It's as good as my long-since-sold Fender American Standard Strat & Tele.  Maybe better.

But is is worth the extra $150 over a Squier CV 70’s? I mean it seems like it should be but I have no clue obviously

I have no direct experience with the Squier, but my gut would say "oh hell, yes".  I consider the G&L Tributes to be the greatest value guitars I've ever played.

Darrell Braun Guitars is a must subscribe if you like electric guitars.

He has the fattest fingers on YouTube. (Or maybe Marty Music does, but that’s because his are so stubby.)

When Darrell does his one-minute solo, the closeups on the fingers  make you question whether the deformity that comes with dedication to the guitar is something that you are willing to accept. 
 

OCD SIDE NOTE:

Try to count how many times he say “So”, “Well”, and/or “Yeah” (“yeh-uh”, not “yay!”). His crutch words.

Man I have a bad case of Gibson fever. I've been kicking around the idea of getting a new acoustic for months now and haven't pulled the trigger. I think I've decided the SJ-200 is too damn expensive, but the J-45 and the Hummingbird sure are pretty awesome. If I decide to go with the J-45, the local shop has a Cherry one that plays really really well. red acoustic though? Then on the flip side, I like the inlay on the fretboard of the hummingbird a lot.

These all sound like good reasons to buy a Gibson.  You know you want to.
