While it makes its name with the burgeoning rock ’n’ roll scene, the Stones and the Beatles and all those cats, the Casino makes an exceptional blues or jazz guitar. If you are on a budget, this classy semi-hollow from Guild is hard to beat, and a great option for blues, jazz or rock 'n' roll.
With its pioneering centre block design, the ES-335 is even more versatile and remains one of the guitar world's must-try electrics.
