    NGD Coming--Epphone Casino

    Gibson won't be producing any lefty semi-hollows or hollows anytime soon, so just for shitz and giggles and my love of The Beatles--and i hear Chinese or no, it's a great edition, and the P90s are supposed to be excellent for Jazz. I'm hoping it works out. I had an Epiphone Joe Pass once. Great sounding guitar once I put Gibson 57 Classics in it. From the reviews I've read, I might not need to replace the pickup and wiring.

    Southpaw takes the worst pics. They're all dark as though they were an ugly date and best kept in the shadows.

    Só cool, from time to time I find myself desiring one of those. If It weren't for my short stature I'd have bought one already!

    I'm such a big guy that guitars look like violins on me. Maybe the Casino's big body is just right.

    It's OUT FOR DELIVERY

    I'd need a guitar the size of a door to be able to hide behind it.

    I think I might have already given a review. I haven't gotten a lot of time playing it with my son here and working from the house long hours.

    But with the little time I've had with it, I'm pleased. A very comfortable guitar to play. It's obviously not a $2200 Gibson, but for a Chinese instrument, it sounds great. Lot of basswood in it. Very happy with the pups.

    I was hoping to be able to coax jazz tones out of it, and I can. It'd be interesting one day to put flats on it to see what I get out of it. For now, I'm just going to play it and get used to it. First impressions are all good though.

    Thanks, Fred.

    I like that strap too, and I can't for the life of me remember where I got it online. I figured it was Sweetwater, but couldn't find it in my orders. Wasn't Amazon either. It is my fave of all my straps.
