Larsongs Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 This Casino sounds great plugged in! What’s surprising is how loud & good it sounds when it is unplugged! It’s twice as loud unplugged as my other 3 Casinos.. It sounds great as an Acoustic Guitar too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unpluged loudness: That is always a good thing in my experience. It seems to enrich tone as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I think unplugged loudness is an indication of a guitar set up well with a neck that functions properly. Air under and around the strings all the way up the neck, room to vibrate without banging into higher frets. Nothing worse than a guitar set up with super slick way low fast Rock Action for sloppy buzzy sound unplugged. rct 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing… I don’t know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 No idear 3 ply vs 5 ply. I am just glad you had a success for a guitar like that. It's pretty exciting. rct 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny; almost immediately after getting mine (which was one of the first, I saw on my local Craigslist someone selling theirs for $2400. Then I saw it drop to $1900, then to $1700, and now back to $1900. But on Reverb, people are asking $3000 or more for one (used). The local seller must not be trying to sell it very hard, or it's a scam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might sell one or two of my other Casinos though.. I don’t think I need four… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
