shankyboy Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Anybody here own an Echotone? I know that they weren't made in the USA but how is the quality and playability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamerhead Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Loved mine. Pickups were a bit one-dimensional and the tuners weren't great, but it sounded great through the old Vibrolux. Stick to the 1st-gen Korean-made version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 The Echotones that came through the local store were good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m chops Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 For a short while I had an Ecotone and a 335. I sold the 335. It was my introduction to Hamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtrdaddy Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Another import that I found nice was a mid-‘90s Sheraton. I loaded it with 57 Classis and it sounded better than a 335 I had back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjammin308 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I have a Chinese one that is astoundingly good for what I paid for it. It's the only Chinese guitar I've ever kept. Full disclosure, I don't play it plugged in, if I did the China pickups would surely have to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After selling the Echotone I - needed - to fill that gap and found a 2001 Sheraton (Samick factory) that is easily one of the best - if not THE best - imports I've ever played. Extremely well-made and the fit-and-finish is far better than expected. An absolutely fantastic guitar that punches waaay above its weight.
