Thequakerkid Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hi. New to the forum. I just received my brand new Casino from GuitarGuitar UK today. Loving it. However, I was surprised to see that it is made in Korea. I expected it to be made in China. I presume they have reverted to making them in Korea? Anyone got any info please? Cheers. ...Casion? Doh...good start there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 ...Casion? Doh...good start there... Ah, just a little dyslexia. That's forgivable. What's not forgivable is the lack of PHOTOS! We wanna see this beauty! I was also surprised to hear Casinos were still coming out of Korea. Maybe Qingdao is too busy pumping out everything else.... (?)

lengle1981 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Colour? And yes photos please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thequakerkid Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Here you go: I love the way the burst breaks around the edges of the body. I'm also surprised at just how lightweight it is and the P90's suit my style of music perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasinoGambler Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 That's nice. Good photos too. So glad you pleased with it. Also heard good things about guitarguitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lengle1981 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 That's sweet mate. I sent back my cherry sheraton reissue the other day as it wasn't playing right and changed it to a v sunburst one. It came today and much like yours the finish is perfect. Got it from guitarguitar too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thequakerkid Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yeah can't fault them. As for these Casinos at the moment I was so pleased to see a 2 colour VS as opposed to a 3 when I opened the box. Looks so much more vintage. I'm not feeling the love for the latter.

Dennis G Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Congrats on the new "Casion" I have an Elitist sunburst that I added a Bigsby to and it has become my #1 go to guitar. You're gonna love that thing. And welcome to a very friendly forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemans335 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Welcome aboard! Nice score. I have a Casino too (as do many guys here). Great guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkuss Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I have an Unsung Casino. Great version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thequakerkid Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Hi and Welcome here Congrats on the new Casino BTW, Epi never stopped producing guitars in Korea......... I presume the fifth and sixth digit is 21 ? if so, it was made at the Korean Unsung factory '21' - absolutely Alfonso, yeah. Thanks for that, it's nice to know exactly where it was made. I have to say the build, fit and finish is excellent. I can't find any evidence of sloppy workmanship anywhere. Frets are spot on, finish is flawless, binding is perfect, inlays are gap free, neck join is spot on, internals (from what I can see!) are flawlessly clean with no glue marks...I could go on. I spent last night banging out some Weller tracks and I'm in heaven at the moment. I'm planning on a pro set up and (don't laugh) a set up for 9's. But I plan on us being together for a long time to come. Thanks for the nice welcome everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P90 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Im a casino owner (cherry red) they are gret guitars but you will probably feel yourself dying to mod it in a few months time... The standard P90's arn't too great and the switches start to fall apart, that aside they are great guitars and I expect ill own my forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
