Is a Casino a lot lighter than a Dot or a Sheraton? I did find one online dealer that listed a lot of new Gibson ES-335 models with their weights and they all are at least a pound heavier than my Dot, so I guess I shouldn't complain. I'm particularly curious about 335 style models. I'd be curious to know what other people's guitars weigh, both Epiphones and other brands. I guess Les Pauls can weigh as much as 10 lbs depending on the materials. According to a lot of the posts I've read on the internet that is actually on the light side for an electric guitar. if i remember correctly, the casino is slimmer and suited more for rock whereas the wildkat is thicker and suited more for jazz. On my bathroom scale it comes in at around 7.5 lbs. I'm a little surprised at how heavy it is though. I'll be replacing the pickups and other electronics, but I'm very happy with this guitar otherwise.
I really like 335 style guitars and this one is in pretty nice shape. I've done a few searches and haven't found much discussion about this.
