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!

Unpluged loudness: That is always a good thing in my experience. It seems to enrich tone as well.

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.

I used to think that too until I got this new USA Casino… My other 3 Casinos are excellent Guitars & Set up perfectly… The USA is at least twice as loud Unplugged as all 3 of them… Maybe because it’s 3 Ply instead of 5 Ply? I’m guessing… I don’t know?

now, do you keep it or sell it to the highest bidder for several times what you paid ?

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.

No idear 3 ply vs 5 ply.  I am just glad you had a success for a guitar like that.  It's pretty exciting.

As long as it took to get my Royal Tan I have no intention of selling… I wouldn’t accept $3000.00.. I might sell one or two of my other Casinos though..  I don’t think I need four…
