Hi all...1st post. I've never owned a semi-hollow electric, and unfortunately I live in a very rural area with no decent music stores within a couple hours. I'm narrowed down to an Epiphone Sheraton II Pro, Ibanez JSM10, Godin Montreal Premiere HG, or (here it comes) a Guild Starfire IV.
I own a Guild acoustic ....D-40 Traditional made in California, and I love....Love....LOVE it. It was a big expense for me...but I wanted a USA Guild and it has been everything I could have hoped for.
Does anyone have experience with any/all of the semi-hollows I listed? Price-wise, the Guild 2nd most expensive, behind the Godin which is about $80 more. The Ibanez is about $100 less than the Guild and the Epiphone comes in at the budget price of about $500 less than the Guild.
So, all but the Godin are made overseas....normally, I'd prefer a US made instrument, but I simply can't afford them at the moment.
I'm not a trem-guy, and these are all "trem-free"
Just looking for comparisons or opinions on the Guild, or any of the others (It's a Guild forum, so I figure it'll sway that way, but still curious)
Thanks for any input, folks!
