Great player with nothing to be ashamed of
I own a home studio. As of this moment I have 49 guitars. I bought this one to see if I'd enjoy the 330/Casino format. I like to buy a lot of mid-range guitars so that I can easily recommend a great instrument to people on various budgets.
I have had 7 Epiphones in total. Before the re-make of the brand in 2020, they were more miss than hit. Just wasn't really satisfied with any of their products, especially the Les Pauls. I have an ES-335 pro by them which is a wall-hanger because it's so bad.
These 2020 onwards ones? WOW! Just absolutely mind-blowing.
So on to the new Casino - First of all - it's LOUD unplugged. It can overpower a Martin D-18 while soloing unplugged!
Playability is flawless. No sharp frets, no quality issues, not a single issue anywhere on the entire instrument.
Beautiful P90 sound, and the guitar truly sings.
You might have issues controlling the feedback as is to be expected with a hollowbody.
Very balanced, lightweight guitar, no dive at all. The satin finish is obviously a preference - feels great and the neck is comfortable. Very good for fingerstyle playing, but also a good straight up rocker.
Overall this guitar has become one of my main ones in 3 months. I play it more often than many high-end guitars, Gibsons included.
Highly recommend this guitar.

Great guitar for the price
This worn version of the Casino looks and sounds fantastic, and is a great value for the price. The neck is super comfortable, the pickups are pretty good and the worn finish is beautiful. It is made in China so the build quality is not as good as higher end versions of the Casino, but it is definitely priced accordingly. I recommend it!

Excellent choice
I bought this guitar since I wanted a hollow body guitar. I was choosing between ES-335 and Casino, and after handling both of them I decided to go for a Casino. It really has exceeded my expectations, the sound is wonderful and playability is great. You can even play it unplugged and it sounds awesome. It´s a really beautiful instrument as well. I´m really happy with this purchase.
