pick the most expensive one, sell it, and buy something you'll be really happy with.

I also have a "Inspired by John Lennon" Casino, so this might bias things a little. However, I do love this guitar. I have spent a lot of time and energy collecting the best range of guitars for me (and remember, this is my preferences, yours will be different). The Casino would be my choice, I do have another guitar with P90's, but they just don't cut it like the Casino... IMHO the combination is perfect.

Your choice, both guitars are nice, and you need to get what will suit you. But I can state with confidence that you won't regret getting a Casino. There are other beautiful semi-hollows out there. Sorry if I have complicated things!

Myself , I like the Sheraton!

Keep in mind this is Texasguitarslinger, she will probably win a Gibson ES-335 in the regional finals!

If I did, I might trade it with someone for a Custom Shop ES-339. But I'm not going to start counting my chickens just yet...

Well, I've definitely decided on the Sheraton. I still think the Casino is very, very cool, but the feedback, plus not being able to reach past the 18th fret, really swayed me to the Sheraton. I've also decided on the natural finish. I've never seen anyone play a natural finished ES-335 in person, although I've seen a ton of sunburst and black ones out there. And I always prefer whatever is different. Plus you can see the cool double skunk stripe on the neck of the natural finished one.

Now the wait continues...

Haha - good post!



Ultimately, it's not for us to judge. But I've a feeling you've made the right choice - based, like Wookee says, on your original post.

So now we're looking forward to some new jazzy sounding tracks!

Cheers - C

Did they video the competition? Post us a link

Congrats!

L.A.

Yes, I have videos of both rounds. I'm holding on to them for now, so that no one steals my licks yet and I don't lose the element of surprise. But as soon as this is over, there will definitely be a youtube link posted.

(Plus I've been able to track down two of my three opponents on youtube so far. I'm sure they're stalking youtube as well. lol)

HeHe,,,I guess I can understand that. ,,,,,When you posted Houston, I sat down and learned it,,,,,I'm guilty,hehe

That's awesome! And yeah, I'm quite guilty of ripping licks/riffs/ideas off of anywhere I can find them. Youtube just happens to be a particularly rich resource!

Anyways, I have just confirmed my request for the Sheraton in Natural finish. I also let them know that my second choice would be a Sheraton in Sunburst if they for some reason don't have the Natural version in stock.

So far I have no idea when it will actually arrive, but the person should get back with me about that next Tuesday. My guess is that it ought to ship out sometime late next week.
