Larsongs Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Seems all the higher end Casinos have been discontinued? Is there Anything new on the horizon for higher end Casinos with USA Content?
bobouz Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 It does appear that production of the Terada-built Elitist Casino has ended (except possibly for the Japanese market), which is sad to see. But the price had steadily risen over the years, to the point where many might opt to purchase a Gibson 330 instead - especially since production of a 330 model, which had been almost non-existent for many years, has now become fairly reliable. I essentially traveled down that very road. Although I purchased an Elitist Casino in 2009, the release of the 330L caught my eye & I managed to snap one up in 2010. Then in 2012, the first serious '59 330 reissue was released, and it was a stellar effort - to the point where I was totally smitten by one. As much as I like the Elitist Casino, if forced to choose, it would now be the first to go. All of that said, I'm guessing that at the higher end, we might continue to only see special artist editions & the like, manufactured in China or Indonesia, and running under the $1000 price point.
