An ES-335 and a Casino are two of the most iconic semi-hollow and hollow bodied guitars ever made. Let's go over the differences, compare the way they sound, and talk about some of the artists that have used them.

After watching many review videos, I just purchased a Casino. I like your style, buying both, but I went with just one 😂 This was probably the best comparison/review video I found! You did a great job showing off the differences practically. Real examples, relatable song choices, great references, thorough understanding of both instruments... This was a fantastic video! Great job!

Believe it or not, the Edge from U2 has had a Casino that he used on a few songs from the mid 1980’s. He shelved it for a while there and started playing it a lot more circa 2004 to present day. He’s used it on songs such as “No Line on the Horizon”, “Miracle Drug”, “Cedarwood Road”, “Original of the Species”, “One Tree Hill” and “Breathe.” He’s a very specific type of player and he practically changes guitars for every single song, but I thought it was interesting that he was a Casino player.

I almost got both. Casino first, as my love of music is influenced by The Beatles. And then I found a 12-string based on the ES-335: the Ibanez AS7312. In both cases I replaced the tuners (with locking), nuts (with TUSQ XL) and dyed fretboards (to rosewood/ebony) which made them feel, play and look better to me. ;)

I've never played any of these hollow/semi-hollow electric guitars. Was really impressed how the Epiphone Casino opened up acoustically. I would not have imagined the level of difference that you pointed out. Both are Ephiphones which is definitely one of my favorite brands so you can't go wrong. 🎸 One guitar I've come across on KZfaq as I was looking at a number of Squiers was the Yamaha Pacifica. Regardless of whether it was the cheapest PAC012 or one of the higher models, everyone seems to rate this guitar pretty well. Not just as a starter guitar; but just as a decent guitar period. Would appreciate your thoughts on those.

@onemoreguitarchannel Жыл бұрын

I tried a Pacifica at a local store and it was very affordable (under $200 I think). I liked it enough I went back the next day to buy it to review it. It was gone haha. For the price I was definitely impressed. I’m sure they get better as you go up in price too, there were some cheaper parts on that particular model. I have a Yamaha Revstar and it is one of the best guitars I have, so from my experience Yamaha guitars seem to be great value for price. Cheers!
