That's an amazing guitar. I hope you score one and receive many years of sublime bliss playing it. My current Jonesin target is an Epiphone Casino but I can't justify the expense given the time I'm currently spending playing what I've got. Still gotta give credit to wanting fun stuff. :Beer:

Well, unless I break into Guitar Center and swipe one, it's gonna have to sit on the back burner for a while.
After all this computer crap as well as some other expenses, my "never-hurt-a-fly" wife would come at me with a hammer if that guitar showed up on the doorstep.

I DID manage to make a good case for a new 32-inch monitor to replace my current 27-inch for my computer. Mainly because my eyes are not what they used to be and since I generally like to sit back about 4-feet from it, a larger size made good medical sense instead of squinting at the 27 (that's my story and I'm sticking to it) and since her eyes are about as good as mine, she understood the logic (Whew!)

But that's it for the foreseeable future.
(sound of wheels and gears turning...)

The Casino is a great guitar and one of Epiphone's finest.
If you can find the means to acquire one I wouldn't hesitate because a genuine Epiphone Casino is as much a keepsake as it is a great instrument.
So I would think of it more as an investment than a purchase.

It's hard to resist when something nice becomes available. There is a Cherry Red Epiphone Dot at the local Music Go Round that has given me the itch!

You know it's strange... as I see some of you talking about what they are currently looking to acquire, I am in a holding pattern. Nothing out there I really want. I do want to mod a couple, but nothing really extreme. I do have one guitar in parts that needs a clear coat finish, and then I can put it together... but even then I'm not all that driven at the moment.

Maybe it's time to divest myself of a few, but I struggle with that as well.

Ah well.

the exact reason that so many (instruments) that have come to visit have come to stay. For a long time now I have not bought any guitar/instrument that I regret. It is just so amazing how nicely this works out. When I get the urge to play something different, I just go grab something different. Don't need no steeenkin store. Also cuts way back on trying to find a replacement for something I sold after getting whacked with the idiot stick.
Don't need any more, no good reason to have any less. I just change strings now and then and tune as needed.

I totally understand that this topic of "Why" is no place for an enabler to post. That being said, as a dedicated "field thinner" I saw this and am hooked. I'd settle for just the pickups, but I think the only way you can get them is in this guitar...

But it's more than just the pickups, which I think sound great.
It's the 25-inch scale, the 10-inch radius, the Wide Thin neck (though I prefer a Wide Fat but we're talking millimeters),the simple "Vol." and "Tone" knobs with the 5-way switch, the nut width (1.6875 as opposed to a more Strat-like 1.650), the Trem, which is often said to be better than a Fender, and of course there are the birds.
Not to mention that the whole thing put together looks awesome!
