Best Electric Guitar I've Ever Played

I already own an American Standard Fender Stratocaster, but I decided to purchase an Epiphone Elitist Casino because I've always loved its sound on Beatles/McCartney records.

The second I plugged in the Epiphone, I suddenly realized that I'm not really a "Fender guy" after all. Everything about this guitar is better than I ever imagined. It has all the sounds I've always wanted -- but never got -- from my Strat.

The construction is also top-notch, but it's much less heavy than a Strat (which I like). I'm currently recording an album with Logic Studio, and the owner of a guitar shop once told me that I shouldn't get a Casino because it buzzes a lot around computer monitors.

Maybe he was talking about the cheaper models that are made in Korea, because the Elitist doesn't have any noise. On the other hand, my Strat will buzz near the computer depending on the position of the pickups.

I've never written a Sweetwater review before, but I felt obligated to put down my Epiphone Elitist Casino for a few minutes to let others know about this outstanding guitar. Now, back to the music...

One Great Guitar

I just got my Casino Elitist the other day in the mail. I must say I've owned quite a few guitars in my lifetime Fenders, Grestch, and Gibsons. The price I paid for this guitar is really worth it. The action is close just like I like it. And I have just put a set of Elixir 10gauge lites. The tone quality of this guitar is outstanding I can go from a mild Jazz, to heavy metal and the sound I want is there. The guitar is light weight which is great for playing out. And with the P90's the tone is beautiful. I would highly recommend people to try this guitar.
