NGD: Epiphone Casino

[Empty Pockets]

Buying a guitar specifically to hit John Lennon vibes is an interesting choice in 2022.

Buying a $300 guitar in a color you're not stoked on then doing $500 of labor before materials to make it a color you prefer is an interesting choice

I've always thought you were pretty interesting

Yeah it's going to stay red. If I can trade it for a natural Casino I will but until then I'm happy rock the cherry.

I love the tone of this guitar. Only regret is not getting one sooner

Finally found a natural finish Casino for a reasonable price. Time to sell Chuck Cherry.

[GuitarDoc]

I have to admit that that natural is awesome!! I've always had a soft spot for natural ever since I had a natural Ric 4001 bass.

What are you gonna sell the cherry for?

[Mincer]

I say keep both.

Money!
I don't need 2 Casinos and I want to get down to 3 electrics (LP, Tele and Casino).

You realize, of course, that you can never have too many guitars. I agree with "keep both".

[GuitarStv]

The natural casino looks better without the pickguard, but I really like the cherry one with the white guard.

Very nice!!

I have a Wildkat lmt.ed. Koa, which I love.

I very loved the Casino , too.. and the smaller verision, the.. coupe?! :o

But, after all; the needs I have i.e. 80's metal; deserves a tone block. The Wildkat has a flat back, with the tone block including bridge p.u. and bridge. Sounds glorious!!


Congratulations on your guitar;

PS: If the microphones start feedbacking/being microphonic; as mine did. I put some silicone inside the covers. But, it dampened the bell-like high end. The covers are made of iron, magnetic metal! =)

Peace out!!!

Man I am thinking that there might be a Casino in my near future....

While I agree with the sentiment, it's not practical for me to keep both. The Red Casino was a placeholder for the Natural Casino.

I like the cherry one without the pickguard too, but the cherry does look much better with the pickguard on than the natural one does.

WildKat are great guitars! I've heard a few punk bands use them to great effect. Not sure what you mean by tone block though? Centre block? I thought Wildkats were full hollow? Now I'm confused. I've never seen a Koa model in person but I imagine it looks great!

Thanks for the tip regarding feedback. I've also heard of people stuffing the body. I just play with less distortion when I plug in the casino.

Man I am thinking that there might be a Casino if my near future....

Do it! They are great guitars with a unique sound. Also, great video!

You DEFINITELY need a Casino in your very near future. (There is a reason why both Lennon and McCartney got them and used them so much). That 330-shaped hollow body with P-90s is undeniably a great, unique sound!
