uptheswa Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 would anyone be able to help with more information about a white casino i was thinking of buying firstly, the seller says that it is a shop order special colour made in 1988 in the Terada factory in Japan. I have never seen a white epiphone casino before so I am a little hesitant, although if it is a special order there might not be many of them in this colour also, what is the standard of a Terada guitar compared to an Elitist thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjael Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Pretty sure they're real, one came up on these forums a year or so ago. Made by Terada from '87 to '99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptheswa Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 great, looks just like the one that i have seen, except the one i am interested in has the E on the pickguard would anyone know how many of these were made, and what they are worth ??? i assume they are a great guitar, i have japanese strats, teles les pauls and 335's from Fender, Orville, Burny, Edwards, Yamaha and they are all fantastic, i assume the Japanese Epiphone are excellant, but never had the chance to play one many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjael Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Those pickguard Es are notorious for coming off. Japanese guitars are typically of a very high quality, I've played some Epi Elitists and they were easily Gibson-worthy guitars. Can't imagine there would be a particularly large number of them in circulation, this is only the second time I've seen them mentioned in over a year, so..

Notes_Norton Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Good luck - I hope it's worthy and you get it for a good price. A white Casino is uncommon, and it should look good on stage. Insights and incites by Notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
