Peter Zed Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Is there a better guitar than the Epiphone Casino? I haven't found it! Here's my new 'Inspired by' sunburst casino. I've owned a Korean Casino and an Elitist Casino and this sits somewhere in between. Not as good value as the Korean but more vintage accurate (and hotter pickups). Not nearly as nice as the Elitist though but much cheaper. Try one, you won't be disappointed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbbysB4Epis Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Nice guitar, Beautiful finish. HNGD to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamm7215 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 HNGD to you as well! I just recently got my first Casino, the exact same as yours! I love it. Don't have any others to compare it to but it's definitely a more solid guitar than the Natural mic stock one I played before getting this one. Congrats!!! She's a beauty!

fenrirlupus Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Is there a better guitar than the Epiphone Casino? Depends what your preference is, and seeing as I do not know, I cannot answer that question for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamm7215 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Of course, there's many tastes and needs as far as playability and sound and style go but the short answer is no... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookieman15061 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Tell us Peter is the price jump up to the IB casino equal to the improvements made in quality and sound? or is the leap all the way up to the elitist still a better deal?

bluelake07 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Not as good value as the Korean but more vintage accurate (and hotter pickups). I would think that pickups would be "cooler" (less resistance) on the IBJL as the Korean pickups were hotter than average and the Gibson P90's are around 8K ohms. My MIK measures 11.31K (neck) and 11.45K (bridge) running the test where a short guitar cable is inserted into the output jack and resistance measured at the tip and sleeve.
