Mahogany neck with Rosewood fingerboard.

But plays and sounds like a guitar worth 2x as much. Condition is decent, some minor chips in the paint but here and there, and one on the headstock in particular. Our Casino was built at the Peerless factory in Korea (who have their own line of very cool guitars) and the paint job, QC and build quality is exceptional. These are the ones to get - due to superior build quality. Built in the USA in the 60's these guitars were essentially budget Gibson ES-330 with slight differences.

The Casino is what started my love affair with ES double cut thinline with p90.The essential rock 'n' roll hollow body! The Epiphone Casino is an instrument heralded in music law thanks to the players that wielded them The Beatles loved their Casinos using them throughout their career and into their respected solo careers. From China, MIJ and eventually just getting an ES-330 you see above. Saein plant in Korea made some of the newer ES-style guitars but its not the same as Peerless. And Peerless stopped making Epiphones around early 2000’s. Untitled by D Y, on FlickrĪnd no, Epiphone now has a factory. My 98 Sorrento (basically a Casino with a different body shape and dot inlay markers) have 5-ply top and back, and heavy. 97-98 would be my goldilocks year if I’m looking for one. Make sure there’s an “R” on the serial number. It changed over the years and it became 5-ply. First years of Peerless ES-style guitars have thin top and back, 3-ply which is basically the same as Gibson. My 97 ES-295 is every bit on par with my 2018 Gibson ES-330.

im a fan of Peerless made hollows and semi.
