Lefty Epiphone Casino? on Oz ebay

Recommended Posts

it's hard for me to tell with pictures but a few things are odd to me. 1. the binding on the top of the guitar. most Casinos (to my knowledge) do not have this. 2. the bridge is incorrect. Casinos usually have the bridge with small posts and thumb wheel adjustments. 3. serial numbers on Casinos are usually on the label in the f-hole. I'm no expert and I may be wrong but these were just the things I noticed. and if you want to get really picky, the truss rod cover is for a right handed guitar :)

I dunno mate - looks a little bit like a possible HMJ/bitsa to me.

 

Bridge is on backwards, Pickup covers are black, Pick guard is much smaller than on an Epi,TR cover is backwards etc...

 

but the main things I see is that controls don't look like they are in the right places, and body is wrong - I mean Epis the body binding joins at the 16th fret not the 20th - so I'd guess it might be a different brand that's been made to look like an Epi - but you can't be sure I guess.

 

Then again - does it play alright? - are the subbed in pups and tuners a good thing? does it matter if its all Epi?

 

it looks nice enough, and where else are you going to get a left handed hollow body for that little $$$?

Would be fairly easy to on-sell for same money if it didn't work out too I'd think.
