Epiphone Casino 61 Reissue Review
2021年5月7日Register here: http://gg.gg/uiwtk
My 61 Reissue Casino was perfect and i sure wouldn’t classify it as lousy.lol.i have seen some of the recent stuff from Gibson that i would use that word for.and they sure aren’t cheap and the quality control there sucks.The Chinese are very capable of building good guitars,just look at Eastman. The 61 Anniversary is one of the nicest hollowbody electrics i have played. I played the MIC Casinos, and the Elitist and found them fairly similar (i also owned and loved a MIK Casino in 1997). Craps in alberta golf. I hadn’t played the 61 first since they aren’t really in stores but I think the 61 is a far better deal. Evaux les bains casino. It sounds and plays wonderfully.

* Have you played one?
I had one and didn’t get on with it. It felt plasticky and lower fret access was awful.
Anyway there’s one on eBay if I haven’t put you off!

Do these have the slim taper D necks or the rounded C? 000·Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Don’t agree, I have a both a ’61 Reissue and an original ’68 ES330, and whilst I agree that upper (lower??) fret access is awful, that’s true for any pre-’67/68 Casino or ES330. I think the quality of workmanship on the Reissue is pretty danmed good considering the price. Go for it if that’s your thang.. but try and play it first, it may not be for you. For what it’s worth, here’s my beauts:

Exactly like i’d want it, but can’t seem to find one. Obviously i prefer the red but money is a issue. 000·Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Lovely pair and you’re right I meant upper fret access. It’s not the same on all casinos though as you’ve pointed out.
I ‘really’ wanted to like mine - it was royal tan. There’s a possibility that I didn’t give it long enough but from memory I just didn’t gel with it.
I don’t recall the fretwork being remarkable either and I think mine would have benefitted from a proper setup, although it was supposed to have had one from the shop.
It was marketed as a premium product but I just didn’t get that feeling. 000·Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

*edited August 2019How much should someone pay for one nowadays? For a reissue, probably £500+ depending upon condition, case, certificate etc. The one on eBay looks pretty nice actually, maybe offer him £600 and then go and try it before handing over the cash! An original ’60’s Gibson ES330 can go for anything above £3000 depending on age, colour, rarity, originality, condition, whether it’s a long or shot neck, original case, case condition.. blah, blah, blah.. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. All I know is, I didn’t want to gig my ’68 ES330 so I found the reissue and it plays beautifully.
In fact, my mate in our band sold his sunburst ’89 Gibson ES335 and bought a standard Epi Casino instead, after playing my reissue. They are immense value when compared to the cost of the originals, but I still say.. try it first! It may not be for you.
But hey, if they’re good enough for Gary Clark Jnr...
