Bluesidae Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I know this is up to me, but I thought we could have some fun with this.... I have a Epi Lucille and a 'trans brown' Korean Dot Deluxe. I want to add a Casino to the family. I am leaning toward a Cherry Casino, but I can get a beautiful burst. How about you post your opinion on your favourite color and post pics as well?? Help me and have fun... we all win! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweed2 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Well, my vote goes to Natural, the quintessential color for Casinos. But then, I'm obviously a little biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LP121 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Ebony Casinos are sweeeet! I also really like the cherry and since I already have 2 black guitars I'd probably go with that. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamonkis Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I was looking for a Casino a couple of years ago. I buy guitars based on how they play and sound, not color, but I was hoping for a good burst (like McCartney's) or natural (like Lennon's). Red was my last choice, I always thought the red 335 type bodies look like tomatoes. But after playing a few uninspiring bursts, I saw a Cherry Casino hanging on the wall that had a beautiful wood grain showing through, it almost glowed. I picked it up and the the first chord sounded like angelic chimes and the neck played great. I took "Ruby" home that day and we have been together ever since.

Johnny Seven Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Biased here, since I recently scored a natural Casino.. So I gotta go with the natural - sans pickguard ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6string Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 They all look great, but after seeing J7's shots, I'm going to have to vote for natural without a pickguard. Simply gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darling67 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I am totally biased towards sunburst finishes when it comes to guitars like the Casino. Considering the Casino was not originally offered in "natural"—not being a popular finish on the guitar until John Lennon stripped the sunburst finish off of his—I'd say that sunburst is was quintessential finish for the Casino. There's a reason why Epiphone recently reissued the 1961 Casino in two "burst" finishes. I've owned two in my day… an original 1961 (with the "Mickey Mouse ears" cut-aways) in what was probably called, "Royal Tan" or "Sunburst". Sold that one. Today, I own a 2003-2004(?) Elitist '65 in Vintage Sunburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was shopping for my Casino, I opted for the burst, even though that's probably my least favorite finish color, but with this guitar, it just seemed right. Add the Bigsby, and voila: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 burst, even though that's probably my least favorite finish color, but with this guitar, it just seemed right. Same here. I don't dig burst finishes, but on a Casino it is "the most right." I have two Casinos and the burst and natural just seem so nice on these guitars.

Aster1 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Have a Royal Tan 61 Reissue & the Sunburst Elitist. I think I like the idea of having one of each then a person doesn't have to ever decided. Decisions, decisions. They just get too hard sometimes to make.
