They feed back terribly/brilliantly at high volume depending on your viewpoint...
Old ones can also have a tendency for the top to collapse under the bridge, so check that the bridge doesn't appear to be raised really high up the posts.

Quite a few people seem to prefer the shorter neck as it was never a guitar made with a centre block like the 335 so some long necks have tuning stability problems.
As ICBM said can be prone to feedback but I love these guitars. Wish I had one in stock right now.
The annoying thing is that the 16th fret join is just slightly too far the other way - the best of any of them for me are the modern Epiphone Casinos with the ‘wrong’ 17th-fret joint, which has now been corrected again. But they don’t have the character or tone of an old Casino/330.

Out of interest how far off a 330 is a casino. Is it chalk and cheese or more like edam and cheddar?
What if the casino has Gibson pickups ( like and elitist, Gary clark or John Lennon?)
Same time I tried a 1950s J45, which has given me a whole new obsession - who knew acoustics could sound that goo?
I've got a 1960, it's the guitar that will get buried with me.
How the Beatles used them in Shea Stadium is beyond me - mine feedsback if I look at it funny..?
I've played one very recently. Lovely.

Not sure how Gary Clarke Jnr gets on with his guitar live regarding feedback - suspect either low volume on stage regarding back line and/or violin string post idea fitted in his body, to limit feedback - And/or he has learnt to control it
Grant Green used one a lot for jazz, we all know about the Beatles, Weller and K Richards using them - So some diversity in there - Don't compare it to a 335
personally I love them and tend to prefer them in a more melodic simple format as against flash licks and tricks - Shed loads of character in them for the right player
I'm a hollowbody / cleanish player so it's suits me perfect.

When I've tried to use it in band situations with gain I found the feedback too much to handle.
Both big influences on me... I really should get one!
