    I've never owned an electric and have only been playing an acoustic for a year. I'm a 64 yr old man with a spinal cord injury. I knew I wanted an electric that wasn't too heavy to lift/hold and have a narrow neck at the nut. I saw this exact guitar, used at my local guitar retailer, and after holding it, then plugging in and playing it (1st time to play in front of anyone), I knew I had to have it. Every one of my friends who see it, and or play it absolutely love it. $380 in excellent condition. Great investment. Great video and playing btw. You have some chops...

    It’s my understanding that for $659 CAD (vs $929 CAD for the regular Casino) the Casino Worn gives you the new P90 Pros which are spec’d after the late ‘50s early ‘60s P90s, and CTS pots to boot! (And yes, I purchased one within minutes of watching this wonderful demonstration video😁)

    Casino fam unite! Epiphone absolutely shines in the archtop realm, and the Casino might be the star. I’ve loved my ‘03 Sheraton II (natural finish) for years, but at one point decided to “upgrade” to a visually-glorious tobacco burst Gibson SG made 45 mins from my hometown. I lied to myself for five years until I shelved it and went back to the Epi. But then I sold it and used the proceeds, among other things, to get a new Casino in classic burst.
    🎉🎉🎉Incredible! So gorgeous- I lucked out w fabulous wood grain- but the feel in the hands, and, lawd, the tone. Only thing I’ve changed is switching out the pickguard for tortoiseshell and ooooh damn, she fine now.
    True story: I demoed this axe right next to a peacock blue PRS Hollowbody II… and even if I haven’t stopped thinking about that other guitar, the Casino was the clear winner on the ground that day.

    I've had an Epiphone Casino since about 2004, and it's still one of my favorites and I won't part with it. The only thing I've done to it is upgrade the tuning machines, which if you do I'd recommend going with the Gotoh's. They'll drop in and you won't have to ream out the holes, and they'll have the kidney bean keys so they'll look identical.

    Just want to say thank you for putting this up. You helped me decide that THIS is the guitar for me. I haven't played an electric in so long and I absolutely can not wait to hold it. A bit scary buying it online (I've never bought a guitar I hadn't held in my hands before), but I figure I had to try. That olive green finish and the price point for that casino sound... !! The guitar shop called me a few hours ago and told me it's shipping out today. :) Thank you for the demo!!

I never thought I could get on with an Epiphone or a guitar with such limited neck access but I can’t stop playing the thing. It has HUGE amounts of mojo for such a new guitar. A friend recently sent me a pic of Eric Clapton playing my exact model on stage. Couldn’t believe it! If it’s good enough for him it’s good enough for me!

      The only thing that feels remotely odd for me is the big body...but that's because it's got a big body and I'm used to modern contoured comfort.
      The neck and fret feel great, feel like home. The intonation could do with a tweak now after having it a few weeks etc.

    Hi Marcus. I actually just bought the Epiphone " inspired by Gibson " ES 335 and it was delivered yesterday. It's a fabulous guitar and well worth the money. Of course there is a difference between it and its Gibson counterpart but not nearly enough to warrant the huge difference in price. I am extremely happy with my purchase. I have also been considering this Epiphone Casino and I absolutely love the colour and finish. You have convinced me to go ahead early in the new year and add it to my collection. The fully hollow body of the Casino has always appealed to me and I love P90 Pickups. Great review Marcus. Thanks brother. 🙏

    @gregtoolson1606 3 роки тому

    What is the "worn" finish like exactly? Do you known? I have a 2018 Epi SG "faded" in a nice matte satin brown, but it's not an open grain finish. So I'm uncertain as to what these new "worn" finishes are. I've ordered one of these "worn" Casinos in ebony and am currently just waiting for Sweetwater to restock. My ideal plan is to refinish it a la John Lennon's rooftop Casino in natural with just a clear gloss nitro over the exposed wood. However, if these "worn" finishes prove to be unremovable (or at least especially stubborn) I was thinking of putting a tinted 'aged' lacquer over-top the ebony and hopefully get a nice dark walnut color out of it. Of course, if both options prove unfeasible I'm sure I can appreciate the ebony "worn finish" as is.

    • @marcusdluxe
      @marcusdluxe  3 роки тому +1

      The Worn finish seems a lot like the Faded finish - open grain, satin paint.

    • @tomnelson5815
      @tomnelson5815 3 роки тому

      I'd not recommend trying to strip this stain, even thought the matte poly is pretty thin. Stain penetrates the grain, and because the top is a laminate you're flirting with sanding through a wood layer. The ebony in person looks really good, so maybe rethink the natural.

    Love the demo - great to showcase the guitar in so many styles and tones. A quick correction on your Casino history for you: Gibson acquired Epiphone in 1957; the Casino debuted in 1961, 2 years after Gibson first made the ES-330. The Casino was essentially a rebadged 330 - made in the same factory by the same people, with the same components. The differences were the headstock shape, the fret markers, metal buttons on the tuners instead of plastic, and the shading of the sunburst. That's all - the Casino was not the one of a kind, stand-alone creature you imagine it to be. Sorry for that dose of reality. I bought the olive drab model and am enjoying it immensely - alongside my Gibson ES-330 :)

      That’s not actually true. The neck on a 330 joins the body at the 19th fret, but the neck on a Casino joins the body at the 16th fret. Slightly surprised you had apparently not noticed that.
