Let me try this again. Not sure what was up.

 

I have only one Epiphone electric and that is my Casino (Peerless factory). I bought it new in 1997 in a little mom and pop music store in Idaho. The owner, a country picker named Gene told me that this MIK would stand up quality and sound wise against any expensive arch top out there. And, he was right. Love this guitar.

 

It has the original Vibratone vibrato that came with these back then.

 

A couple years ago I decided to upgrade the tuners to set of Gotoh SD 90 MG "Magnum Lock", with nickel butter-bean button. If you are looking for a drop in replacement that holds the tuning , you may want to consider these.

 

And too, one of the pics has my Epiphone Triggerman 60 amplifier. I have better sounding amps but none that look cooler.

That is one cool guitar rig indeed. I really wish Epiphone would make those "wang bars" as a separate item (or items, depending on the model) available for purchase. I'd get a couple. They do look cool [thumbup] Thanks for giving it a second shot, beautiful Casino [thumbup] [thumbup]

Thx guys. I do like the guitar quite a bit, and it rarely needs a set up.

 

 

 

Cool looking amp as well. How does she sound? Good effects?

 

Wel the amp, actually sounds pretty good. The switchable effects are decent. Chorus is nice. It is two channel. Has a cool looking foot switch as well.

 

Without effects it is very very clean sounding, but lacks the warmth you get from tubes.

 

Because no tube you can mike it pretty cleanly, and/or you can send it out over a 1/4 cable or even an XLR. The back of it has some nice In/Out controls that makes it flexible for recording or small venues. If I just want to record the amplified clean sound of the P90's I send it via XLR to my recording board.

 

I got it new in about '06 and will keep it because it's too heavy to move. LOL 51 lbs, becasue of it steel frame inside. It has held up very well and the vinyl tolex cover and edging are still puffy and thick looking. I really like the piping around the speaker face. NIce red burgundy color.

 

If this is TMI (too much information) and too many pics, excuse me, I know that I just like looking at other peoples gear, so here goes......

TMI? Not at all. I love talking shop. I remember when those came out and how cool that series looked. Never got a chance to try one. Very nice.

Hi everyone. Just joined after purchasing my 2 new Epi's and thought I'd stick a couple of pictures up of them. My Casino and Hummingbird. I'm also looking at a cheap Epi S-310, strat like guitar. Only because it's cheap.
