[Ste]

I know its a hollow/semi-hollow epiphone (that much is obvious) but it is a Riviera, Sheraton or whatever?

Yea 335's have dots on the fret.

Could be a Casino?

[cal]

think it is a casino.

not too sure though

[Ste]

Im hopin to get a casino for christmas (dependnin on how many days i work) but if i cant afford it would you recommend a 'dot'?

[cal]

the 335 Dots are mega guitars, take the pickguard off it and its the coolest guitar ever (Apart from a Fender Jaguar) im thinking of getting a Dot like, played one a while back n it was grand

[Ste]

Cool, I'll for a Casino foirst but if i dnt get enough ill get a dot instead

[Fergal]

if your getting a casino or a dot or whatever, theres only one man for the job mate. www.petercooks.co.uk/clearance.php well cheap and top guitar selection

its mint

[Ste]

Thats the cheapest iv found one. £379 is cheaper than all the other sites by £16, not alot but it all adds up in the end! Cheers man

[Ste]

I've often heard that most of the time you buy a guitar brand new, its unplayable and has to be 'set up' whatever that means...

And whats that 'super dot' anyway?

[Fergal]

the super dot, if im not mistaken, has block inlays, which is basically instead of having dots on the neck, its like rectangles, similar to the neck of a les paul or an epiphone casino.
i dunno bout the whole set up business, people have said that to me but iv never seen any problem when iv bought brand new guitars. occasionally the odd thing has to be done to it, a wise idea would be to take the guitar to a guitar shop when you get it and just ask if theres awt needing to be done. a lot of the time they say it needs setting up and its a bit of a con

[Ste]

How much does it cost to have them alter it? Or does it just depend on what alterations they make?

Are the blocks the only difference between the 2?

[Fergal]

im no expert, but from experience about 20 quid at most. I was talking to someone in a guitar shop about it last week, theres rarely any need to get anything major done, just tweak a few things.
I'm pretty sure that the block inlays are the only major difference, as it has the same features as a regular dot and same design and colour scheme etc

[Ste]

Cool, i mite get a Dot Super.

Its just when i was younger before i really had a clue about guitars, i always identified Epiphones by the blocks. Call me fussy but i wouldnt want an epiphone with 'dots' on it. But they are the cheapest so im so happy i found a 'dot' without dots

Ill shut up now

[Fergal]

aye i get what you mean. I feel pretty much the same bout the block inlays, cos i always preffered epiphone/gibson guitars like les pauls etc due to the block inlays. but it was a tenner extra for the block inlays and with the normal dot you get a hard case, and you dont with the block inlay one, so that tipped the decision. but aye, the super dot is a quality guitar, visually and like how it sounds and plays n that

[Ste]

I just been to my local shop and he let me have a go on the cherry epiphone dot, sounded fuckin gorgeous. The other guitar shop said he can sell me one without a hard case for £300.
