I am looking for the setup specifications for an Epiphone Casino Coupe. I have done a deep search online and couldn't find much. Truss rod relief and string height, I could guess and get it pretty close, but I would prefer to do it by the book.

That inexcusable, mine was like new with no visible faults. If you pay for a new guitar, then it needs to be mint.

Its a shame there hard to find, I would love to try one 🙂

Might be a custom shop? https://reverb.com/item/4826689-used-gibson-2013-custom-shop-es-339-with-bigsby

I wonder if someone can tell me exactly what the guitar being played in this Youtube video is? A 335 or?

Thank you, that is useful information, they are very close siblings.

I hope so I have ordered one, as soon it's here and I can confirm it fits I will report back.

Thank you for the information, I will take some measurements and also do some research and see what I come up with.

I just purchased a new Epiphone Casino Coupe , the dealer was not able to supply me with a hard case. I have searched and cannot find a suitable case for this instrument. I live in Australia so ideally would like to buy one here. I have seen it said online that a 339 case will fit, others say it won't fit properly, if I'm going to buy a case I need one that fits properly. Any suggestions welcome Thanks Pete

1. Epiphones are often modeled after a Gibson, so which guitar is the Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500MCE modeled after?. 2. My guitar is new so it still has the original strings. I have a few packets of D'addario EJ16's and will try them first. But does anyone have any comments about their preferences in regards to strings for the DR500MCE? Pete

Hi Jeff, You have quite a few guitars, that gives some reference point for comparison. Can I ask what others you have and which is your favorite? Pete

Now that I have the guitar I can say I love the gloss finish. Had it been satin I doubt I would have purchased it.

Thank you One question and its not a big deal, my DR500MCE comes with a owners manual, its just general information about Epiphone guitars in general its contains very little about my specific instrument. I can't find a specific manual for this instrument, string gauges, electronics etc. If not, no a big deal.

I took delivery of my Epiphone-DR500MCE today, I purchased the guitar online, I am thrilled with it already. Everything with the sale went faultlessly, I took a call from the tech who did the Pleck and full check on the instrument. He also asked me about string and setup preferences. The guitar itself is all I expected, the first thing I noticed was the sustain, wow! a full and rich bass. I was a little worried about the neck but it is perfect. It is gorgeous to look at, and flawless. Would I do this process again, in a heartbeat using the same retailer? I am 66y in February and I don't seem me buying another acoustic, a strat and an Epiphone Casino would be nice but, well we shall see.:) I have yet to plug it into my Fishman Mini Loudmouth, but all the accounts from other users that have plugged it in have voiced high praise for the DR500MCE when plugged in. I am 10/10 on the happy meter. Pete
