Plugged in the guitar runs the gamut from warm neck pickup to a more honky, biting bridge pickup tone. The guitar comes with its correct grey hardshell case with blue lining.Īcoustically this guitar has a pleasantly warm tone that certainly tips the hat to Gibson’s archtop heritage. At some stage a period correct Bigsby has been added but you would be very hard pressed to tell unless you took of the end pin. The hardware shows some discoloration and some very slight pitting.Įlectrically everything seems to be correct. The headstock is in good shape with a few minor chips and best part of all, this is a highly desired 43mm nut width Casino. The neck is in superb condition with almost no wear, the original frets have plenty of life left in them. The colour has faded a little but again this is not too extensive. There is no real signs of any damage anywhere, the odd minor knock but nothing noticeable. Classic 60s Epiphone burst that seems to scream summertime, setting it apart from its ES-330 stablemates.
