Members bq9187 Posted April 8, 2010 Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 So I'm looking to sell my Gretsch Electromatic 5122 and I'm looking to get a decent guitar for around $500. Any ideas? I was thinking of something semihollow or another hollowbody or something with P90s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bq9187 Posted April 9, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 9, 2010 I had thought about one of those but I wasn't sure if the construction of the Epiphone was any better than that of the Gretsch Electromatic Series. I liked the Gretsch a lot but the pickups weren't very good, nor were the tuning pegs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StangLX718 Posted April 9, 2010 Members Share Posted April 9, 2010 Check out the Cort Jazz Box series. They run around $400. Also, if that Gretsch is made in Indonesia or China, it is probably made by Cort. Regards, Stang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SSquirrel Posted April 9, 2010 Members Share Posted April 9, 2010 Actually the Casino is full hollowbody, I have one in natural that I bought last year heh. They're 600 brand new, but very nice. Epiphones and Squires are both WAY better quality than they used to be. Epi Casino's were always fine tho. Anything Epiphone has made over the years that wasn't just a clone of a Gibson product has always been better quality than the LP and SG versions they produced.
