But my question is here that is there the same amount of difference with the archtops? As mentioned in several other threads, I have found that generally the Casinos, Sheraton IIs etc seem to be of a more consistent standard, and also of a higher standard than most solidbody Epiphones - I know this is certainly the case in my collection. And I can appreciate how the difference in materials with the solid body guitars can really make a difference. Ok, so I know Elitists are really good etc.
