We were incredibly impressed by the aesthetics, even more so since it came in our preferred “natural” finish. The production-line Casinos being produced today, in 2014, are perhaps the finest in the brand’s long history.įit and finish are immaculate – the binding, the fret edges, the neck contour, the pickup routing. While some aficionados maintain that the Korean-made Epis of the 1990s were better made than the contemporary models coming out of the brand’s Chinese facilities, this reviewer begs to differ. Since then, Epiphone’s production has moved around the globe a few times, first from America to Japan, then to Korea and now China. The Casino has been around for decades, first brought to worldwide fame by the Beatles. PROS: Great fit and finish fantastic neck highly responsive and articulate P90 pickups.
