This thread is more than 4 years old.......no need to dig that deep #-o

 

Could you tell where it was made if it was NOT written on the guitar ?

 

Why don't you just rate the guitar - and not the place where it was made ?

 

Yeah, and it was started when the QC in China, wasn't quite up to speed, yet.

Some may still have their preferences, but the Chinese stuff is continually

improving...IMHO. So, the actual quality differences aren't nearly as

apparent, as they used to be. I try to look at the guitar, itself, and

evaluate it, on it's own merits, rather than which factory/country it was

made in. Still, USA (if I could afford them), and Japanese built, have

always been my favorites. My only Chinese built Epi, is my Texan! And,

it's great, all the way around! So...???

It was a joke........ #-o

 

1999 Casinos always are made in 1999........

 

Oh, thank you......I thought mine was #1999 from the Peerless factory.....I bought it in 2001....It is labled "Factory Second",

 

but the Q.C. Factory guy had delexia, so, I figured it was actually a hybrid Casino built for disabled folks, because of the double cutaway.......
