Let me just say that *ANY* Epiphone Casino is worth having. They are fantastic guitars for a very reasonable price. I got mine brand new for $700 from Guitar Center. They even sound great if you don't plug into an amplifier because they are basically acoustic instruments (with pickups). The action is smooth, the intonation is adjustable, and they are a pleasure to play. Paul McCartney once said that if he was stranded on an island and could only have one guitar - it would be an Epiphone Casino. I've had mine (Burgundy color) for 10 years and It's fantastic. They go out of tune very easily with the weather, but if you tune em' up, they sound fantastic. Just play the opening line from "Day Tripper" on one and you'll understand what I'm talking about.
The Casino really is a lovely guitar. But I'm surprised you say Paul McCartney said he'd want a Casino if stranded on a desert island. I mean, he wouldn't have electricity, would he? So, really, he'd be better off with a sweet sounding Martin D-28 acoustic, or the more loudly-projecting Gibson J45.
Holy cow, great tone when you played Revolution! Impressive playing too, really caught the vibe.
dude got the tone on point. which is nowhere near easy
P90s, hollow body into a audio interface with the input gain on full.
i realize I'm pretty randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to watch newly released series online ?
@Marcellus Orlando i dunno I use Flixportal. You can find it if you google:) -tadeo
@Tadeo Keith Thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I appreciate it!
I believe that Paul McCartney once call this guitar, his "one desert island guitar."
He said it was the perfect guitar
Blues, jazz, hard rock this guitar worth an island
Paul is still recording with his "Epi" as he calls it.
He still plays it live too and even introduces it! I saw him a few years ago and when he brought it out he said “this is the very same guitar I wrote this next song on” then launched into paperback writer. It’s badass he still has his original ‘61 casino.
@@queenhenry3314 How does he deal with the feedback?
it is amazing the amount of great music that was created in the 60's without the benefit of the kinds of setups and strings that we have today. The average person today would probably have has a very hard time playing those guitars.
The average person back then had a hard time playing those guitars.
Well you had amazing musicians back then plus the golden era of guitars.....
@@darrylcole5575 i think you misread these comments.
if you spend enough time around vintage guitars you will realize the world of improvemnt CNC mechines have provided
@@therideneverends1697I don't really think there has been that much of an improvement on the electric guitar.. I mean all the classic instruments are basically based on everything from the '50s... Pick up to the body shape.. and that goes for guitar amps also... I know there have been slight improvements but very little I my opinion..
The only real difference today, is the accessibility of information on the internet. My dad was in music retail, and by the late 60's, guitarists were already dropping the low E and adding a Banjo string to create extra-light sets. Repairmen were having a field day doing slinky setups, much as they do now.
P90's really are the best pickups of all time.
bold statement. while i love p90s a lot, i have to say there is no best. depends on what you prefer.
P90's have it all, so I know what you mean, you can get such rich tone from them and they are high output
I've fallen pretty hard for them myself, have bought 2 guitars just in the past month with them (gibson sg classic and an alvarez aat32 burst 335 copy) and I haven't regretted having to live off Ramen and frozen pizzas a single time since 🤣
🐐
U want to fucking step outside?
I love this guys playing. I've been a hobby guitar player for years, I'm 75 now, and I have got better. I've gone from abysmal to crap, but I love guitars. Keeps me going.
I want to achieve crap level!
Happiness is a warm Epi. Holy cow, great playing!
Played one of the 1965 versions when they came out. It was one of the most, if not THE loveliest necks I've ever felt. Still remember it.
Are you the Boston strangler?
jltrem stop this nonsense. Necks are different sizes but just get used to it. Ultimately they are all the fucking same.
No, they're not.
You're just a crap guitarist that wants to blame their tools. When I switch between different necks and string spacing I struggle for a few minutes and then you just get used to it and it makes no difference.
@@deldia Just like my 30's regal parlour? Yeah all the same... except its got an oak tree for a neck.
I love the Beatles and especially Lennon's tone. I only had a few days to nail his tone for a show that was filled with John Lennon's music. Called my local place and bought a 339 Casino. I tried my 335 and even tried my 355 BB King. The under sized Casino was perfect and close in appearance to the 330 of the great John Lennon's classic. The dog eared P90s and exact playing like John Lennon played made it real.
You may be referring to the Casino Coupe. There is no such thing as a 339 Casino, there is a 339 P90 Pro but it has soap bar P90s and is a semi hollow, and not hollow like a Casino
You are correct! They say on a 339 body it is a copy of the Gibson 339. Epiphone has a copy of most of the Gibson ES stuff
Thanks for the video - thumbs up and subscribed
The 339 is the Coupe, just a little more compact in the body and easier to handle. Same pickups (and neck I believe). We went this way for my 18yr old son as the stock Casino felt a little unwieldy in size / shape. Coupe is light and easy to use for a longer gig. The core differences to the equivalent Gibson 339 (which looks similar) are the P90s over hum-buckers and a true hollow body - the Gibson has a centre block of wood down the middle which adds more weight (and sustain they say) which some players prefer.
We like the cleaner tone of the Casino P90s (over the Gibson) although the hollow body means it does feedback if you wander near your amp / speakers. And it hums on overdrive so you need to faff with the volume between songs. Having said that, it rings like an acoustic off power (so great for practising) and it will overdrive nicely with a little reverb and a decent Boss peddle. We run it through an Ibanez Tube Screamer and a Marshall 40 DSL valve (set up to mimic the 60's series amps) - pretty easy to get the Beatles tone if that's what you are after.
We are thinking about getting a Vox amp to go with the Casino at some point. It's a great guitar for the money, definitely one for the arsenal, but like I say - don't confuse it with a Gibson hollow body (or Epiphone 339 Pro) as they have a different sound altogether.
Kevinpaul not only that, in my opinion THW greatest Music was made in the 60s!
When the guitar is in your hands it is always worth the hype. Just lovely playin, so much feel and emotion!
Jaysus, you didn't let us down!
Jay-Z, he sure didn't.
Lennon and Harrison both obtained their Epiphone Casino's in 1966 and used them for recording the Revolver album.
Yep, inspired by Paul McCartney who got his first. George and John liked it and got Casinos on their own as well.
Но, потом Джордж Харрисон,в отличии Джона Леннона не сильно применял и играл на гитаре этой фирмы,??
I bought the Epiphone 1967 Casino Elitist re-issue, Made in Japan, it plays, feels, and looks great.
You are an excellent player. man, when revolution kicked in. good job dude
Gorgeous gorgeous tones and playing Chris. Thank you. 👌🏻
Excellent tone and rootsy soulful playing. Spot on.
I keep coming back to this to hear you play get back, so simple but so awesome!
Super review of an iconic instrument. And I may say a very articulate presentation. Thanks.
Blimey Chris, get your rocks off! Lovely playing as always. Congrats on the success of the tour. 🤘🏻👍🎸🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻👍🎸
I got one of these today. Nicest guitar I've had in my life by far. I want to cry. Worth more than all my previous guitars combined lol. It sounds fucking amazing,. Direct in, with Amblitube, it sounds incredible. Almost went with a Fender Player Series Strat. Would have been nice as well, but I'm so happy I went with my gut. It's light as hell too, and its really loud, you can practice unplugged if just chillin... Anyway, nice playing. Definitely learning Revolution tonight haha that looks fun. Cheers.
Ah man oh man, I love that outro.
Nice job, perfect tone. I have one with Seth Lover Humbuckers and love it. But the P90’s nail that Beatle Tone! Really enjoyed that little piece at the end, very tasty.
Wonderful playing. Clean, clear and bluesy.
Your playing is definitely worth the hype!! Awesome sounds as well :)
I had a smile watching Revolution...sounded great.
Sounds fantastic. Well done! I just picked up a couple Epiphones recently and absolutely love them!
Nice video, and a great demonstration of playing the Casino. There's a reason why both Lennon and McCartney loved this guitar...
Casinos are great guitars’ I have a Gary Clark jr blak and blu casino sounds amazing and the colour is awesome!!!
Chris, your tone never fails to delight. Another great video.
Well done sir. Very nice picking/playing and sound. You do the instrument and songs justice.
Sweet sounds, great playing...
That is one beautiful and fantastic guitar!
Beautiful playing!
Wow that ending...gorgeous. Guitar has amazing tone and has a nice punch to it with the warmth.
Amazing stuff at the end, well done
Brother that was an incredible demo of you playing you nailed it it is my all-time favorite guitar!!!!
Epic sounds mate ... 👌🏼
I know I'll be coming back to hear Don't Let Me Down again. That was great!
I don't have the John Lennon Revolution Casino, but I've got the Elitist Casino, and it's one of the smoothest easiest guitars I've ever played. Thumbs up dude.
the songs played were:
revolution
get back
don't let me down
Very nice work...enjoyed it all --the comments.......the still image of the guitar in the garden,,,the playing,,,especially the riffing at the end,,,,,,just really top shelf.....
Lovely little nod to Don't Let Me Down!! I see what you did there!! 😁😎
christopher Suggs such a beautifull littlewin'esque aproach
Excellent demo - thank you!
That end piece is gorgeous!
Sounds fantastic!
Wonderful playing
Wonderful video, thanks for paying homage to my/our dead hero.
Great playing. Beatles my favorite band. Casino coupe out now
That turned into a quick lesson on how to play Revolution for me! I’ve always loved how funky that riff is at the end of the solo. ❤
Great playing thank you 😎
Not gonna lie that really nailed the tone! I really enjoyed the first clip, but Don’t Let me Down I think is my favorite Beatles song of all time!
Agreed!! Absolutely amazing tune where all the different elements shine equally IMO. Also, the “Naked” version of ‘Don’t Let Me Down’ is (by far) the best version of the song. The group I’m in has tried covering it in the past, but without everyone nailing the vocal parts, I’m afraid we can’t even come close... One day!!!
Loved the playingand you nailed the Revolution tone.
I have the sunburst Inspired by Casino. Still has Gibson P90s and USA electronics despite Chinese construction. I love it, it's barky and rude.
Fantastic playing...great video
Spot on! I’m sold. Great job!
This was extremely well done. I'd love to see you do more videos on beatles instruments
Loved this video, and your playing is awesome!!
Pleasure to have viewed, sweet playing sweet guitar.
Great playing!
Just bought one of these, probably the best purchase I've made in a while
Awesome Buck or Evans 《☆》Whoever was doing the playing. I bought an 03 custom shop natural finish Chinese or Korean Casino used that came with a Vox AD50VT amp for $600. It played & sounded great when I played it at the sellers house in his driveway with lots of humidity & mosquitoes bitting. When I got it home I noticed a strong pipe tobacco smell but it was actually kind of nice. I kept it for 3 years & wound up trading the Casino in on a 2010 Gibson LP studio deluxe which I still have but watching this makes me miss the Casino a little. Funny I never made any adjustments or did any work on the Casino until I was ready to trade it off. I noticed the action was a bit high & the finish was a little dull in spots. I lowered the bridge & polished her up with automotive carnuba wax. The appraiser at Guitar center was amazed with it & I'm betting that He took the Casino home with Him that night ☻
Great playing as ever superb
Thanks for the review of this guitar. I actually own one of the two left handed Revolutions they made. Had it since 2003 and just seeing the case gets people excited. It does feed back a bit at higher volume but it has all the wonderful Beatle tone and plays smooth as anything!
Great sound. Even better playing.
Great playing!!
Since the Get Back documentary was released these have jumped in prices quite a lot. I'll buy one once the dust settles.
same. prices are still up there
@@StratocastRS true but there are some dealers who really try to push these prices and most of the guitars aren't selling for that kind of money in the end.
Lovely playing.
good playing great song, revolution
Got myself a epiphone Riviera. I love it! Looks very similar. Sounds fantastic
Seriously awesome playing and tone.
I have a Casino Coupe which is a smaller body. It has a very sweet bell chime, very open air. For about 3 years I had it stuffed with foam scraps for live playing at high volume & gain. It's a great cheaper version, not perfect but close enough for the price.
Beautiful playing at the end there sir.
Nice playing, man! Really good review, and nice to see a musician who can play show the guitar! :) Thanks.
Fantastic free style on don’t let me down. I’m happy to say I have that guitar
Right on, good rendition
Your a good player. Fantastic work.
Patrick Fealy he could just wail on an electric for 10 minutes and I’d focus on it 100%. Doesn’t need bass or vocals.
Like your playing a lot 🎸👍🙋🏻♂️
Thank you! I thought he had two of them. One Casino and the Natural one is the guitar I loved.
John stripped his sunburst Casino, made it natural.
Hey, the Rutles made a song called , "Let's be natural", do you think they was singing about John's guitar? 🤔😄
Love your playing
6:35 to 8:32 sounds like F.M. Albatross style. You have a great touch and technique! Good shew mate!
Merci, Chris.
that was a class bit of playing man, the guitar sound good man👍
Another great video. Cheers!
Damn that revolution sounds amazing
Loved the beginning, P90’s jeez never get fed up of their sounds.
Great playing, I'm fortunate enough to own a Revolution Casino, and also the 1964 Sheraton Reissue. Those guitars have got to be some of the best Epiphone/Gibson has ever put out. The quality and craftmanship is on par with Gibson Custom shop guitars, It's a shame they don't make all or their guitars as well as these. Great video!
I love the way you play
I'm so glad i found this channel!!!
Yup same here. Unlike other guitar review videos where they talk and bored us for 6 minutes before playing the guitars, this guy straight away play the guitar at the start of video. Plus the reviews are good too
Thanks Chris. ⚓️
Beautiful Playing Mate!!!
Loving your vids young fella, nice to see a local lad doing well, so much untapped talent in this valley.
Daaaaamn super nice playing! I'm just starting out on an acoustic but I hope I eventually get to that point!
Great playing mate!
I’ve Got to join the chorus .. nice guitar work Meistro Chris.
9:07 +
True player.
Beautiful work!
Just beautiful.
Had a good buzz going and then I heard your guitar playing. On cloud nine right now.
I very much enjoy your talent....great stuff. I've got an Epi Casino sunburst, made in China. I love it.Great guitar with much history.😎🎸
You play it beautifully! :)
I remember I was really into the Riviera P93, but when I tried it out, it was just too busy. Saw a Casino nearby, tried it, fell in love.
They do indeed feed back a little but I love ‘em... I was lucky to buy mine off a guy in Florida who didn’t know he had a great guitar, bought it for $200. U.S. cheers, great video and great playing mate, Joe, in Canada
