Epiphone Casino (big-ish pics)

Post by FireAarro » Sun Sep 30, 2007 3:56 am

I just got this Casino.. nice guitar! Note the 3 piece maple neck: usually they're mahogany, but the Fujigen factory Casinos have maple. It's a Japanese model, but not an Elite/Elitist. It sounds and plays pretty great. Much thicker tone than a Jazzmaster.

anyway, on to the good bit of this thread  ;)

Times change.  Remember when dog Jimmy used to go white and chalky?  Now it grows hair!  We got used to it. We'll get used to poly. -blueavenger

I don't normally go for natural but that's looking great. Can't go wrong with 335-style guitars, he says thinking of the Yamaha SA-2200 that will be his next Tuesday...

How are the Korean made Casinos? Is there a noticeable drop in quality from the Japanese?

I love it! Very nice casino. :) I've been looking mostly at the koeran ones, but this has me thinking maybe I should keep a nose out for one of the fujigens.
