The reason that I sent my Casino back was because I didn't feel for the money I paid for it that I would have to pay the extra $40-$50 for tuners. They should come from Epiphone for that price. I mean the Les Pauls of even lower price come with Grovers.
Really' date=' if the tuners that come stock on the Casino are supposedly good tuners, then why do the Elitist come with Grovers?[/quote']
You can get real Kluson Tuners for a buck fifty on eBay... That isn't the problem... But I agree, if somebody buys a product, no matter how cheap it is, he/she should expect everything to work fine. To be perfectly honest. I have the stock tuners on my Casino... I'm quite the bender and it hardy gets out of tune. STOCK TUNERS AREN'T AS BAD AS THEIR REPUTATION! --> For those pea-pickers out there who get a heatattack after every time the guitar get out of tune.
The only reason I'd exchange the tuners would be for the looks of the epi ones. But that's just a matter of taste...
Stock isn't that bad you see. But there are people out there who can't stand to have a guitar that sounds/looks like 3557624523 other guitars out there, so they start customizing and stuff until the plastic on their credit cards start to melt and they're happy with the result.
At the end of the day it's much more important to actually PLAY THE INSTRUMENT instead of wasting hours for customizing and so on...

I just brought a Mexican Muddy Waters Tele to the store 'cause it arrived with a 'dead' output jack, a badly shaped pickguard and scratches on the sides of the metal-thingy where the bridge pup is... great FENDER quality I guess!!!
At least my Korean Casino is a top guitar... best one I own...

I would recommend uprgrading the tuners to similar (but far better) Gotoh Vintage, or Grover Vintage tuners (Kluson-esque). I hate it when there are holes sticking out of a guitar (especially the headstock)...

Stick a Bigsby on it, the ratteling of the tailpiece is quite annoying... I don't mind the tuners? Mine are quite good actually (they have a "e" on it, is that a good or a bad thing?). Changing the Selector switch is also a good idea, since mine has become loosey-goosey (while pretending to be Pete Townshend
)And by the way, I like the pickups just the way they are! Casinos tend to have a Gretsch-esque tone which I love...

Do you have a Texan too? Is it a snug fit?
