    I just purchased a new Casino (2013 model from China w/ natural finish) and I'm loving it. Perfect set up, no flaws in fit and finish and it just sings or screams whichever you want. I played 2 others that fell short and sounded kind of "boxy" or something although they both needed fresh strings. This one is a winner though, loud and resonant unplugged and oozing tone through my DRRI. A very nice neck too.

      Agreed! I think its really neat how if you want early 60s (1961-1964) Beatles sound you can do it on a Casino, if you want a mid 60s (1965-1966) Beatles sound you can do it on a Casino and even if you want a late 60s (1967-1970) Beatles sound you can do it on a Casino. Its a super versatile instrument!

    Great Scott! Greg is killing in this video. Best review of the regular Casino on YT! Sounds AWESOME. I've been wondering if the JL would be worthy since it is twice the price of the standard here in my country. Greg just prove that the regular is still a great instrument. I've played both JL and the STD in the store and liked the standard neck, but the revolution finish and clarity of the pickups are a tad better imho. Well, still deciding if I should trade my CIJ Fender Strat 62ri for a IBJL revolution or grab a STD. Thanks!!!

      reffoelcnu alouncelal reverb has payment plans , standard casinos are cheaper than most pro guitars. A used standard casino with a payment plan is like $50 a month for a year. Not the cheapest but do-able if you have a job. And the payment plan makes it a lot easier than paying it all at once.
