Photos are great, as are stories and observations. (Particularly since the Guild cured my GAS for an ES335 - no longer even on my wish list!).Īny input would be appreciated. As a P90 lover and a fan of hollows, I think the Casino/330 is the direction I'd like to go eventually. Epiphone 1965 John Lennon ES-230TD Casino Guitar of the Day. I'm curious as to whether or not anyone has played (owned?) both, and what thoughts you have regarding a comparison? I haven't had the opportunity to play either a 60's Casino or ES330 (played a bunch of new 335's and 339's - but I need me some 60's action and P90's!). The Epiphone Casino has a Layered Maple Body, SlimTaper D-Profile Maple Neck, Pau Ferro Fingerboard, Vintage-style Epiphone Tuners, LockTone Tune-O-Matic. From what I gather, they are basically the same guitar.
SO, I've always wanted to find a nice old USA made Epiphone Casino, and am always on the lookout for one locally - but in my research, I came across the Gibson ES 330. Were joined by Vini from our Epsom store who is going to give us all the ins and outs of the NEW Epiphone Casino in Worn Blue Demin. I then picked up a killer '69 Guild Starfire IV on Saturday. It started with revamping my MIK Epiphone Casino (new bridge should be here tomorrow, sent the stock pups to WB for a rewind and new magnets). I'm on a bit of a hollowbody kick lately.
