The Epiphone Casino Archtop Series (manufactured in Asia ..) is one of the Casino rplique 60s, among other clbre made by John Lennon Beatles PERIOD 67-69. We see more and more groups currently use (or more often, according to budget, his cousin "made in United States," better off!) As the Strokes, or Phoenix ...
It's a real half-cash, trs well finished, as often with Epiphone, and all are dtails Submitted, even simple micro-coils and the bridge of era, enough sagrable when to change the strings, but hey .. it's not a Floyd-Rose !!!...

UTILIZATION

The grip is really enjoyable: it is well balance, or lgre nor heavy, and the handle is extremely comfortable. Ergonomics is vintage anyway, so useless to compare an Ibanez 7-string Vigier or other carbon fiber. Its register is thereby obviously not limit the explosive virtuosity Satriani with this old lady, but plutt use a "bottom" in a spirit pop-rock riffs 60s (very Beatles finally !). I jou on 335, the 3 / 4 body jazz, and the Casino dfend trs REALLY well in terms of playing comfort in the CATEGORY half box of course!

SOUNDS

As mentioned above, the record of this guitar is limited and there is nothing versatile; good ???.... I also bought a guitar complment some riffs, but lead guitar, it will soon be in a catalog style: it is the hope you can play :-) rock (but not too modern), pop (but not too modern either) and a bit of jazz, with good rglages, it is not ridiculous!
Bcp must sound the violin, she I think she is doing plutt up against a lot of guitars of the same price / Category. These simple microphones (the P90) trs are individuals and we like or not! the sound is REALLY clear with a good dose of mediums serious and beautiful, but there is no need to bring a guitar on saturated ground is too out of place and it looks like not much (take rained Does a 335 with humbuckers ;-)). As against it is brilliant in all registers of sound clear, especially to play with fingers, and even more in the records of his lgrement crunch for small or arpges Defines good riffs ("Day Tripper, "" Paperback Writer "...). It sounds trs "mid / late 60" and with a good guitar player and especially a good amp (you must impractical lamps and no Peavy to get out of metallic sound raliste) we get excellent things! the microphone is not the most acute of the two, but the combination of acute / grave with a small correction to Eq (effective with the knobs DDIS) provide you with a warm and alive. All with an OVD good back and a good amp and heating arpges of "I Want You" will spend almost as disk!

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for 2 years and it is very well intgre my small set (a Start, a Les Paul and SG): I wanted the sound so special, yet limited and I am delighted. It ages well trs, nothing moves, nothing cracked, it still feels the wood and varnish, and the sound is, APRS have looked a little, finally trs warm sound for use "pop rock "or stroll. I obviously do it again this choice, both for the look for her!
