They're slightly different in some ways, but the overall experience is a million times closer to playing 'the real thing' than the lower-rung Chinese-made Epiphone Casino copies. This guy's in 'original' sunburst, gloss finish as opposed to the 'refinished' natural/satin of the other model.īoth are quality guitars and have the cut, feel, heft, and handling of the original '60s models. This is number two of a pair of Epiphone 'Inspired by John Lennon' Casinos that're in the shop for consignment.
