hamstir Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hi I am looking at buying a ES335 style guitar and wondered if anyone had a recommendation, I like the Epiphone Dot but have read mixed reviews of it. My budgets upto 300. Others I have looked at are the Hofner verythin, Ibanez As73, Peavey JF1 and Vintage VSA535thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 The Epiphone Dot is alright, but the feedback can hum a little bit.I've heard nothing but good things about the Ibanez Artcore series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I would consider the TokaiTokai ES60 335 Semi Acoustic Guitar [ES60] - 299.00 : The Guitar Workshop, Guitars Amplifiers & Music AccessoriesOr Peerless (you may not have heard of them, but they make the cheaper Gretschs and some Epiphones, and they are very good guitars):Peerless Songbird (PM20VC) NA, Natural, New, Inc. Case, Semi Acoustic product details : Guitar Village UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger_Loose Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Hello Hamstir,My music shop out at Inverurie, Rockapotamus Music, could have a couple of options for you.I have a Washburn HB32DM in just now. I'm actually away to be doing a set-up on it one night this week. Since it's not one you've mentioned you can see and read about it at this link: Washburn Hollowbodies. HB32DM & HB30 Guitar.If the link doesn't work, just look up the Washburn website and navigate through that.Also, you mentioned the Vintage VSA535 - that I would be able to get in for you, if you thought that was the way to go.Both of these guitars come in at 299. The Washburn has a pretty solid padded gig bag that comes with it as standard as well.If that is of any interest to you at all, I will make sure I've set up the Washburn by Saturday and you can come and have a play of it. You can message me back or contact my shop manager Gareth if you need any more details. I will be in the shop myself this Saturday though. You'll find us at:Rockapotamus Music,70 West High Street,InverurieTel: 01467 622700e-mail: sales@rockapotamus-music.comHowever, I can confirm that if you fancy the Ibanez Artcore series stuff it should be very good standard. I own an early 70's Ibanez Artist which is a cracking piece of kit.Hope that gives you some ideas.Cheers,Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
