John Cordy wrote and played the intro music on this one. Working with John is always a joy. He's one of my playing heroes and his channel starts my day. / johnnathancordy
To hear John's track for this video in its entirety and learn how he built the tones in the Helix world go here. It's amazing: • I Played an EPIPHONE ...
I need to thank the good folks at Carter Vintage for their permission to use the clip of R.J. Ronquillo playing an original '69 Casino.
I'd like to think Mick Taylor from That Pedal Show for giving his permission to use his edge of your seat Casino playing. See the entire video here:
• Epiphone Casino Pickup...
Rhett always writes a great demo tune and I need to thank him here for his permission to use a bit of it from his video: The Casino Sound: • I Get Why The Beatles ...
The Casino has been on the Short History list ever since I started playing my own fully hollow double cut, the diminutive ES-390. The video covers a good bit of Epi history to explain the relationship between Epiphone and Gibson as well. I hope you like it.
Thanks for watching.
All the best,
Keith
Thank you Keith. The Casino is a great guitar that stands on it’s own. It’s not a poor man’s Gibson, it’s proudly an Epiphone with it’s own pedigree and history that can compare favorably to any guitar.
I agree 100%! As a proud owner of a 1967 casino they are just distinct in their sound and pedigree
I couldn't agree more. I bought my 1967 Casino 20 years ago from a guy here in Germany who only played it at home in the living room and he had bought it new in 1968. It is very special and if there would be a guitar with the fantastic Casino sound without howling on stage, it would be very nice. But the good thing in life is that you can't have everything at once. Even if the Casino is a thin body, it is the most acoustic electric guitar in my opinion. And it has the kind of sustain that lingers in the heart for a very long time, even when the sound is physically gone.
I kinda want to have one…
Ok you sold me on one Hypes! I should never have sold my old one. Great video!!
What’s up, Rick! I love how much bite they have on the bridge
Rick you Rock 🤘
Ha! I've had mine for years and I'll never sell it.
Casinos are such a cool guitar!! I was planning on buying one, but I found a 330 at the same time fairly inexpensively. I would easily get a casino to this day though.
I am jonesing for one of the USA built Casinos, but those Quingdao versions are pretty dandy in their own right.
My first electric guitar was a ‘65 Casino. My grandparents bought it for me when I graduated jr high in ‘82. They paid $350 for it with a Kustom amp. The amp is long gone, but my Casino is sitting 3’ away.
I've had a blonde single P-90 Casino for decades. I don't know how common the single pickup version is. It's visually and sonically beautiful. Due to health, I can't play anymore.
@@dudleydeplorable5307 I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a single pickup Casino. That’s really cool. I’m sorry to hear you have difficulty playing it now. Still, I bet it feels like a soulmate just having it near by.
If only....If only the whole music industry could adopt Keith's mantra of "I'd like to thank". It solves so many unnecessary problems.Personally I'd like to thank JS Bach for my entire understanding of music theory which informs absolutely everything I've ever done musically.
I'd like to thank my mother for insisting I learnt to play the piano. I now play guitar, but my knowledge of music theory would be small, if not for my mother. ✌️🇦🇺
Bach is the OG goat imo
Personally I’d like to thank God for inventing music and ears :)
The actual biblical/christian one, not the catholic or progressive one
Paul Weller playing a Casino into old Marshalls is the stuff of legends!
What record?
@@mikaelsjoberg1894 It's his live setup. Along with and old SG and Tele mostly.
@@mikaelsjoberg1894 Pretty much everything after The Style Council to the present day featured the Casino as his main guitar.
If I think of Casinos - I think of Weller! 😀
@@mikaelsjoberg1894 He used his 1966 Casino first at Live Aid with the Style Council then it was rarely seen until 1992 when he went into his solo career. If you want to hear it try his 1994 'Wild Wood' record or 1995's 'Stanley Road'.
My wife gave me a Chinese Epiphone casino for Christmas. I love it! It's a unique guitar and you can get such an array of tones with it.
I’m thinking about buying a used one for 350. Do you feel it’s a well made guitar
@@alwidener7333 I had one. The build is fine but the electrics /switches aren't good .The poly finish annoyed me most and I sold it.
These videos really make my day. I don't need a room full of guitars but I still like seeing and hearing them. Thanks
A round of APPLAUSE for Mr. Williams, please? Great installment!
Dave Davies also played a Casino starting in 1964.
I enjoy your work.
Thanks.
In 1965 I saw an Epiphone Casino and Gibson es330 sitting side by side. They each cost $307. I was told they both came off the line together. The Beatles played Casinos. I saw them sitting on a table in front of the stage, Thank You for letting me have the chance to comment.
Love this. My dad growing up had a '61 Gibson ES-330 that he stills owns. We banged that guitar around, playing it all the time when I was in elementary/middle school until I realized that it's a golden-era vintage guitar.
You seriously should make a channel reading mistery novels, or narrating some other stuff, the voice tone you use for your videos is super cool.
Sir, again, thanks for the great content. For some reason TH-cam stopped notifying me of your new videos and your live videos, I've fixed it I think, but I am surprised.
Do you think you could make other music related themes as "A Short history"
Like "Blues, a short history"
and start with Robert Johnson, how the blues made it to England, returned to the USA through Clapton and then again to England via Hendrix and how it exploded?
Even a series, since I assume it is a LOT of work a topic like those.
Thanks a lot for the video, I prefer your videos over Beato's (No disrespect to your friend, he does great videos I also watch, yours are just better)
TH-cam does some funny things with notifications. Go in unclick then reclick notifications. See if that helps.
Man, I can’t explain how much I appreciate what you do. I learn so much every time I watch one of these.
It's like Keith knows when I need a good video. Thanks again!
As a Beatles fan, I always wanted to have an Epiphone Casino. I struck gold with the Worn Olive Drab Casino. It’s honestly my favorite guitar!
Great video, but it tugs at the heart a bit. I was wanting a 335 of some sort for long time. I was just about to pull the trigger on a Casino but then found the P93 Riviera. The big draw to me was semi-hollow, a middle P90 and a Bigsby. I loved that guitar, unfortunately my wife dropped it and snapped the neck. I got it repaired but only got to enjoy for a few short months. She's on her second repair and I'm just hoping she's still playable. Otherwise it'll be retired as a wall decoration.
The Epiphone Casino plays and sounds like no other guitar. It's so simple and yet so versatile
I have a made in Japan Epi Elitist Casino. Swapped stock pickups for Fralin noise cancelling P90. Fixed the feedback problem. Great guitar! Check out The Swamp Shakers using the Casino in action. Great guitarist playing rockabilly.
Got any videos of said Epi w/Lindy Fralins?
@@user-ii5mh9li6l unfortunately I don’t. Sorry
People rave over PAF pickups but personally there is just something about a P90 that screams rock and roll.
Thank you and God Bless my friend!
Upgraded my worn casino with SD antiquity pickups. The guitar is built so well that it leaves you with so much room for upgrade, but the pickups are a tad too hot for my liking. Pickup Shims are essential for a casino imo, they balance the output and tone of them really well. Lollar and Mojotone both make a really great P90 shim.
Such a wonderful channel, I truly hope you grow.
Slow but sure
⚓️ Thanks Keith 😎 Inspiration comes in many forms, 5WW’s Short Histories is the top of my list. Thanks 🎸
I learn a lot from your videos, Keith. I am constantly amazed at how expensive guitars used to be in today’s dollars.
Content with anything Beatles is great. I’m saving this video for this evening when the house is quiet. Thanks Keith. You do such a nice job on these videos. I appreciate it a lot. 👍🏻
The most exciting thing that has happened to the Casino in the recent years is Daniel Kessler from Interpol using it live and on studio!
Back about 1981 I bought a Kalamazoo 1964 Casino, I still own that guitar. I played it 6 nights a week when I played in Denver, Blues, Boogie, and Swing for 10 yrs.
I've come to be a single coil guy over 42 years of playing and the P-90 works so much better than a humbucker for me that I'm now looking at hollow bodied P-90 guitars. This video came out at a good time for me. Actually looking at the Eastwood Tuxedo.
Another great video Keith. I've always loved the Casino sound from both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and hope to own one one day. Sadly, I also hope to own a good 12 string acoustic and electric, a Joe Pass Emperor III but am running out of space to store them. I already own two acoustics, two resonators, a Weissenborn and four electrics. I can almost hear my wife saying, "Not another guitar!".
The Casino is a "thin" hollow body, so maybe you can slip it in between a couple of those full sized ones and she won't notice. :)
I traded my fully rebuilt Epi ES335 for a stock Epi Casino. I did a complete overhaul with all USA period-correct hardware, including the Lollar pickups and a Bigsby B-12 with the Chet Atkins arm. Now, a sweet-sounding, beautiful guitar. I love the way the casino feels and sounds.
20:20 Keith graces the video with his playing!!!
I bought an import Casino in denim blue last year and absolutely love it. It checked off 2 boxes of types of guitars I didn’t own-P90 and jazz box.
Ha ha. Just bought one in Ebony for the same reasons!👍
I treated myself with a Casino of the worn series last Christmas, absolutely inspired by 'Get Back' to some degree. I mostly play a Fender stuff in recent years and the Casino is my first hollow body guitar. By now I have to say it might actually be my favourite for everything but the snappy Fender coil tones or high gain stuff! The thin 'worn' finish allows to feel the wood grain all over neck and body, it's fantastic!
I love my 1988 (built in ‘87) Epiphone Sheraton II, which is a semi-hollow Casino! A truly great (Korean made with its original humbuckers!) guitar. Another great video, Keith!!!
? Did Sheratons have P90's in those days?
@@geertzwager1309 No, it came with whatever humbuckers it’s got (they sound terrific!). I like them so much, I’ve never considered changing them. I did have it retrofitted with a gold Bigsby B-7 (to match the guitar’s existing hardware) in 1989, though, along with the Bigsby Tune-O-Matic style bridge that came with it. At the time, it cost around $879 for the unmodified Sheraton. The Bigsby was under $100, installed. And in the bargain, I had a set of gold Grover tuning machines put on it to replace the “No-Name Deluxe” tuners it came with. Gibson has since moved production of the guitar to China, so I have NO idea what a new one is like.
@@edryba4867 I see, nice! I would guess though that P90's are exactly what distinguishes the Casino from the Sheraton. I mean, P90's are basically single coils. Being used to humbuckers you might be in for a surprise if you played a Casino!
@@geertzwager1309 Well, there’s that… and the fact that the Sheraton II is semi-hollow. That’s the same kind of construction as a Gretsch Country Gentleman, except on the Sheraton, the F-holes are REAL and not painted on, as they are on the Gretsch. I have one of those, too. On the advice of my good friend Damon Williams (no relation to Keith), who is a Lefty, and is touring in the Midwest and South, and has a left-handed Country Gent, I put flat wound strings on MY gent. That was a BIG change to the sound and feel of the Gretsch. But my Epi has always had round wound .010 - .042 strings on it. That gives it a “light” feel when playing, but you can really “dig in” when you crank up the gain on the amp’s preamp, or if you’re using a distortion pedal. The semi-hollow construction keeps feedback at a minimum and allows you to TURN IT UP in ways a Casino just DOESN’T! If you’d like to hear the kind of stuff Damon is playing, some of his music is available on SoundCloud right now.
Don’t forget about the Korean made Casinos made by Peerless in late 90s until early 2000s. I had two and completely refinished one from 1995 in nitro with new electronics! Great guitar
I have a Korean made Casino. Cherry red. Bought it new in the 90s. The finish was nice enough with a few blemishes around the binding where the neck joins the body. But it looks beautiful. Cherry red.
Keith, thank you for spotlighting the Casino, one of my favorite guitars.
Thanks again 5 Watt World !!!
Thank You- I bought a John Lennon Casino about 2011 reissue- surprised to hear them through Marshall Stacks
Excellent video! I bought my '60 ES-330 a few years back. On the positive side it is one of the best guitars I've ever played. On the negative side, it completely spoiled me to vintage guitars and inspired me to spend way too much money on other models from the 50's & 60's. Then again...maybe that's a good thing?
I really like the Casino sound, and it's easy to understand why it's so iconic. Thanks to you and all the TH-camrs that have recently put a spotlight on this wonderful guitar. 😎
Just bought one of these. It’s awesome.
As always, a wonderful video. A few years ago I bought a 1961 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Casino that was built in 2011. Found it in an independently owned local pawn shop and paid $175. One of my greatest guitar finds. Plays great and sounds terrific. It will never leave my stable.
My 61 reissue is my all-time number one.
I am on reverb all day looking at gear and just finding all about them,, but now I ask myself if the money would be better spent on more lessons etc…. Thanks for the shift in thinking!!
I just walked past the old silver birch behind the elementary school and crossed over to Williams Street to get to where I am watching this video right now. For some reason that just makes me smile. I think it may be because you are proof that it's possible to get out of this little town and make it somewhere in life. Thanks! I always enjoy these videos tremendously!
I have a new USA made casino on order and was excited when I ordered it but now I am more excited to get it due to your excellent history and description of this guitar
I’m seeing Robin Ford tonight. Can’t wait.
RJ sounded so good when that footage rolled in! I'll be honest as the biggest Grant Green fan, I am partial to the ES-330. In my opinion the most underrated guitar of all time. I appreciate a Casino, but pales in comparison to a 330. Great video as always. Amazing work!
Great video. I’ve recently purchased one of the new USA Collection Casinos. It’s quickly become my favorite guitar.
Thanks Keith. I always loved the Casino.......
Excellent job as always!
Thanks Jeff
I have a Casino Coupe. Really nice guitar. But this video now has me looking at the full size Casino!!!!!
Missed the part about Epiphone '68 Casino long neck, replicated also by Gibson with the ES-330.
There were also Casinos with only one pickup.
Thanks for the video, one of my favorite guitars, I'll never sell my japanese elitist!
The long neck you refer to had the neck/body joint at the 19th fret, instead of the 16th.
The lure of the Casinos. It is small for a hollow body, little thin sounding, the P-90 single coils, the feedback. Somehow it works and once you get one, It joins the the mix of Strats, Les Pauls, Teles, 335s, SGs of the world. And becomes a favorite. Plus, it is almost as moddable as a Tele or a Strat. Especially the made in China ones. The lure of the Casino is strong. That is for sure.
Read this, Keith!
An interesting fact to add to the Casino story, or I should say John Lennon’s Casino story, is that towards the end of his life he started putting his guitars back to the way they came to him.
He began with his Rickenbacker 325c58, which had been painted black in 1962 and remained that way until Ron DeMartino stripped it back to its original amber-coloured finish in the mid-70s.
The next guitar of John’s that Ron had booked in, was… his now-blonde and battered 1965 Epiphone Casino. It was Lennon’s intentions to get it refinished in its original sunburst colour, but ‘fate’ would intervene on a cold December night in 1980.
Friends of John’s suggested that as a notorious tinkerer of guitars, perhaps he was swept along with the whole ‘sand your guitar down to improve the tone’ fad of 1968, and didn’t actually want to see “my favourite guitar” sanded down by dry, corse paper.
To a Casino and Beatles fan, it’s somehow reassuring to know that John wanted to get the Epiphone reverted to its former sunburst beauty, as it maybe shows that John looked back on his time with the new guitar (at the end of touring) - with nostalgia and humour.
Great video, Keith. I hope you’ve seen this comment as it’s more history to ponder over sometime!
Thanks Lu. I read all the comments and as a “tinkerer” myself it’s a good perspective.
@@fivewattworld what a gent, thanks for replying. Your videos have gotten me through a pretty rough bout with covid this week! And also made me buy a Casino Elitist to accompany my 1985 Casino from the Peerless age.
Going back to what I commented earlier… I wonder if DeMartino would have taken Lennon’s Casino back to Gibson for its refinish - as I doubt he had the faculties to complete such a process.
However, at that time Gibson weren’t exactly in an as good nor prosperous position. But who knows! Keep up the fab work from here in Liverpool, U.K!
That’s really cool I didn’t know that 👍cheers
Six String Bass: A Short History? Please?
The conversation should be pretty short… JW Jones Neptune and there you go
@@jfredknobloch Fender Bass VI, as used by the Beatles, would be the most famous six-string bass to most people. Maybe not interesting enough for a whole short history, though. A short short history maybe :)
@@twkotb I didn’t know The beebles used a Six-string bass…
Thank you for doing a video on one of the most underappreciated guitars around, Keith.
The Beatles and Radiohead were plenty to have an excuse to fall in love with them
That is a Banjo Headstock on many Epiphones. Lol Thanks Kieth.
they are two legends, with similar looks and completely different construction and sound. Neither is better than the other, both are irreplaceable.
I like the Casino but it is big for me… so I have two smaller Epiphone guitars - the compact size, hollow body Casino Coupe with trapeze tailpiece and chrome dog ear P90s, and the 339 semi hollow with a center block, black plastic cover inset P90s. I put a Deusenberg tremolo on the 339… I love them both! The Casino Coupe has a warmer sound and the 339 has hotter pick ups with a little bit more treble range to it, but I use an EQ pedal to get the best out of each one of them. Yes I also have an Epi Les Paul and an Epi SG… Yes, all made in China, all inexpensive, solid quality and they fit my budget. As for the video: Great presentation as always. I love the cross promotion with other fine players and presenters like Rhett and RJ! I also like the program punctuated with playing examples. Keep it up Keith!!!
Love your Snorlax! My son got me playing Pokémon. Back in Red, Blue and Gold days on the og Gameboy!
You didn't mention the 61 reissue from 2011, but I love mine. If I had to choose one guitar in the world forever, it would be that one.
Paul did the soloing on "Ticket To Ride" using the Casino. Paul also used the Casino on "Another Girl".
You mentioned that the Elitist models were built in China, which is not correct - Elitist models were Japanese, expensive and high quality. Apart from that it should also be mentioned that the Casino was built in Korea for quite some time after stopping the regular production in Japan (Japanese Models were still there but exclusively as 'Elitist'). My 2007 Casino was built in the Unsung plant in South Korea. In general, the Korean Casinos were of really good quality. The later Chinese built models often had and have a few flaws.
Not according to my source, but nothing's perfect.
Agreed. This video basically left out the fact that the Elitist Casinos were made in Japan, in the famed Terado factory. China? No way.
My Casino was made in Korea at the Peerless plant in 2005. It's exceptional quality.
@@fivewattworldThe elitist range was definitely Japan... I dunno if they carried it on to China?. I have a pre elitist Japanese SG, I think shortly after my guitar... they realised how good they were making guitars in Japan... and wanted to differentiate them from the Korean guitars.
Also in 1967, the neck joint was joined at the 19th fret like the 335... another great video!
I has a '92 ES135 that was a little bigger with p90's in it. It was bound cherry and was stunning... because of Lucille, and my buddy's '65 335, I have always been intrigued by the Casino, just have never pulled the trigger.
Epiphone Genesis was the first guitar I bought.I have The Revolution Casino.. US built copy of Lennon's. Love it
Oh man. It's getting harder to pick my next guitar purchase. Strat, Casino, 335, Jazzmaster.
Thank you again, Keith. Keep those videos coming. I like the casino's soul. :)
Sell your kids and buy one of each
don't have kids yet. any luck with that? hehe
After owning several ES 335 and ES 330 style guitars from several brands ( gibson , eastman , epiphone ) i have settled on a Stanford crossroads thinline 30 ( ES 330 ) , a great guitar for a fair price ( about 1000 euro/dollar ) , i got lucky and found a 2e hand one . The Stanford brand is the overseas ( china ) made line up from Maybach ( the german top notch guitar brand ) and same as the Eastman and Shije guitars these are very well made guitars from China . The thinline 30 has an full lenght neck , so it joins the body at the 18/19 fret wich for me is an important fact and beeing fully hollow the weight is a lot better then any ES 335 ( wich are to heavy for me ) , it has good P90 pu's and i also put an bigsby on it . For me another advantage over the ES 335 is the fact that the acoustic sound is way better because off the full hollow build , so to cap it all off : this is my all in one guitar it can do anything !
Excellent Keith! This is one of the Short Histories to which I've been looking forward the most. I have a "Lennon Revolution" Casino and absolutely love it (and I'm a P-90s guy as you might remember). There's something about that "edge of distortion" sound as you put it that just screams rock'n'roll to me. Huge kudos to your guests on this episode - John Cordy's intro/outro was sublime, Mick Taylor's Casino sounded (and looked) fantastic, and anytime I get to hear Rhett Shull and R.J. Ronquillo play I'm happy. Makes me want to ditch work today and play late-era Beatles songs on my Casino!
Great video of course. I had a 68 Riviera in the seventies, Kalamazoo built, and that guitar showed me the quality of the Epiphones.
I ordered a Casino Coupe for my birthday back in January. It finally arrived this week. I've always liked the Casino but the body is too big for a short little fart like me. The Casino Coupe is perfect and compliments my Epi Ultra 339.
Fab, fab, fab ! Thanks Keith :-) I bought an Epi dot last year without fully realsing that it has a centre block and is *heavy* ... I should have watched more FWW vid.s before I splashed the cash ;-) I'm now after a Casino Coupe. All The Best from over here in Bristol, UK
Thanks Keith. Great video. My favourite part of the Casino story is the Cherry Casino that I just got as a 60th Birthday present from my partner and her family. It's my second Epiphone after my Firebird and I just love it. It's unlike anything I've ever played before.
Thanks again Keith. Short histories are such a great contribution to the wealth of youtube knowledge.
Thanks Keith! Great video, and great playing!
Love the royal tan
Keith! You need to get a Casino “Coupe.” Es-339 size, fully hollow, p-90’s. I have a full-sized Japanese 96 Casino which is incredible. My coupe is my gigging guitar, cheaper, the components are lower quality as are the pups, but a great instrument!
I didn't know about these. I just wrote to Epi about one.
@@fivewattworld I believe that the Casino Coupe has the same body size as your ES-390. The regular Casino is bigger, the same as an ES-330. They're all hollow.
Great video, I own a 1962 Epiphone Sheraton so you can imagine the interest I had in this video. In fact, I binge watch the Five Watt World series. Keith, you have to be the hardest working and most knowledgeable man on TH-cam when it comes to guitar history. Thanks friend.
Thank you Keith for these videos... you do a very good job making these!
I have a '96 Epiphone Casino reissue.
For us Europeans/Brits Paul Weller needs to be in this vid. Even Epiphone used his pic in brochures but they never made a signature. Weller's Casino is one of the prettiest ever. And I think Little Barry used one. Still a great vid!
Yeah! Paul Weller used one at famous Live Aid 1985!
Great show. I've got what I believe is a 67 casino and it's been sitting in its case for the past 20 years, I think I'll get it out and take it for a spin.
The tones coming out of the guitars being played during this vid making the hairs on my neck stand up.....just amazing 😳😳
My first encounter with the Casino came in 2014, when I was first starting to get a guitar collection. After grabbing a Squier Tele and an Epi Les Paul, I was telling a friend I wanted a hollowbody. The big issue coming from my hunt? I'm left handed. Seeing more $1000+ Gretch's and Ibanez didn't really put me in a comfortable budget as I didn't want to spend that much on a (at the time) not always played guitar. However, I came across a left handed, limited run of Casinos for just that year (the same year I graduated high school). Seeing an opportunity at roughly $650 before I got a hardshell case, I bought it on a whim. After the purchase, I looked up what the heck the Casino was all about. I found Gary Clark Jr at that time and really saw the versatility of it. When it finally came in, I played a single chord (a plain ole G major) and said "oh no" because I was blown away at first strum. Fast forward almost 10 years later, it's still my not so secret weapon in the collection.
just bought VS casino bc I didn't have one with me here on a work assignment. My 2 casinos and other guitars are at my home and not with me- couldn't live without a casino even for this brief stint!
Good job... Love these videos. Very informative and illuminating. And inspiring...
Thanks much for this work, Kieth, great history story on the Casino! Love my Epi 339 too!
Another great presentation. Most uplifting this morning. Today I will mostly be fumbling on my Epiphany
Stunt guitar at the beginning is a Bill Nelson lover:)
My uncle has a Gibson ES-330 that he bought used inn the 60's as well as a 1965 Fender Deluxe Reverb amp. He said he wanted a guitar that looked like Chuck Berry's.
Loved this. I have a 1964 epiphone casino, with the vibrato tailpiece. It was great to hear all of this information. Love my casino very much..😊
One of the best guitar documentaries I’ve seen. I’m a lefty and have two lefty Casinos (one with a Bigbsy). There is no guitar that sounds and feels like one. You did a great job encapsulating it’s history and I’m glad to see this icon get some more lovin. Epiphone is making a bit of a comeback today with their IBG line. I’m an Epi lover and proud of it. Thanks for this!
Epiphone now have a Worn Casino line, recently I got hold of one and they're fantastic value as they sound amazing while the Worn look grows on you, presumably this keeps production cost lower.
Must be nice being able to buy 3 at once!
It’s called “credit card” and returned quickly.
Great video Keith, I’ve learned some things that I didn’t know about Casinos. I need to get one yet… best regards 🙏🏼
WOW 😳 I had no idea Epiphone had that much history behind it! 😱 I'm kinda embarrassed lol
Excellent video. Wildly professional!
Love the Epiphone Sheraton II Pro and the Casino. Amazing history to both of these iconic guitars.
I genuinely can’t believe these videos are free, you are a real one Keith
The Casino is up there as one of the absolute best most versatile guitars of all time. I wouldn’t trade my two for anything.
Great video as always. I love my casino, though I had to swap out the bridge to stop the rattling. Also was that Shenandoah you were playing, reminded me of Bill Frisell
