Larsongs Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Dec. 2020 Winter NAMM in So Cal announced the first USA built Epiphone Casino in Decades… The Royal Tan with Nickel Dogear P90’s knocked me out! I wanted to buy it that day! They said it won’t take long……….. I’ve been playing Casino’s for years & owned 3 already.. So I ordered it…. And waited, & waited & waited & waited some more….. During that time these Guitars became the topic of tons of love hate Threads on many Forums & YouTube… The arguably incorrect Features caused & is still causing much debate, questions & confusion. The Whys? Well, I got word last week it had finally arrived & they did 2 day shipping as a courtesy… Very nice… I've been doing comps with my other 3 Casinos which are all great Guitars.. One is the limited production Vintage Sunburst 50th Anniv. 1961 Reissue Casino with Tremotone. Like Keith Richards played. Only 1961 were built. The next is an IBJL John Lennon Revolution Casino in Natural.. And finally, a gift from my kids, a Vintage Sunburst Peerless Casino with Bigsby like George & Paul. All 3 are absolutely great Guitars! Each has a slightly different Tone & Sound.. Each sounding great! The 50th Anniv being my favorite… I have to say this new USA looks amazing & really does sound even better! It really looks & feels like a Custom Shop Guitar.. I usually don’t have the patience to wait this long for something but in this case I’m glad I did… Here are some Pics of my actual Guitar as taken my good Friends at Sweetwater.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsongs Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) I’ve been playing the heck out of it! I’ve played & have owned just about every modern version of Casino.. IMO it’s the best modern non Vintage USA Casino version. I’d really like to compare this new one to a really nice Vintage Casino…. I’m really liking this Guitar! My original pla was to add a Bigsby.. But, it can’t be done using a Vibramate so it will leave holes… I’m conflicted, I’m not sure if I want to add it now? Thank you for all your kind words… Larsongs Edited September 2, 2021 by Larsongs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tx-ogre Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Sweet looking Casino. I have drooled over Casinos for years and this doesn’t help. Congrats and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Congrats, that's a beauty. I love the way the top contrasts with the dark back and sides. I'd hold off on any mods for a while too - although I know you're a big Bigsby fan. Is it possible to see any photos of the previous 3 you owned? Or are they all long gone? Couldn't quite tell from your OP if you still owned them. A photo of the Casino stable would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
