"A versatile, easy to play, great sounding guitar."

Feature:
The individual tone and vol controls for each pickup make adjusting the sound easy and precise.

Quality:
There is a minor gap between the neck pickup cover and the body of the guitar. It is so small that a medium pick won't fit in there, but it is there none the less. The "perloid" inlays in the neck don't resemble pearl very much, but look "plasticy", but then, it isn't an expensive guitar, so I neither of these comments should be understood as a complaint.

Value:
For the price this is one great guitar.

Desirability:
It's a beautiful guitar. I didn't like the white pickguard so I replaced it with a black one and also replaced the gold knobs with black witchhat knobs, now it looks great.

Sound:
The P90 pickups can sound sweet, clear as a bell, or can cut like a knife. I have a 40 year old Gibson E-330 (basically the same guitar) and while the acoustic tone of the Gibson is better, the newer Casino sounds better plugged in. The Epi ads continue to advertise the "Beatle" sound, but the guitar is capable of doing much more than that. It will do rock (and rock-a-billy), C&W and Jazz with no problem (depending on amp/effects)

Ease of Use:
The neck is great (touch and go) and as I mentioned above, the individual tone and volume controls make adjusting the sound intuitive, plus they are easy to reach. An added bonus, the guitar only weighs 6 pounds!!! Easy on the shoulder.

Support:
Haven't needed support - and hope I don't. The guitar is well made (it was made in the Peerless factory in Korea)

Overall:
I still like my Gibson ES-330 almost 40 years later, and I expect to like the Casino at least that long (providing I live that long). I bought the Casino because the ES-330 has become a collectors item, and I didn't want to get it any more beat up on stage. The Casino is the closed thing to it currently in production. I was surprised when the Casino sounds a little better than the Gibson plugged in. Someone told me that the ES-330 pickups were underwound because Gibson was afraid of feedback - I don't know if that is true or not, but the newer Casino P90s are definitely hotter and have more sustain.

"awsome guitar...even better for the price!"

Feature:
the pickups are perfect for this guitar. the sound is incredible. the tuners keep it in tune FOREVER! it has good sustain and excellent action.mine came with a case that is awsome too. its very durable and nice and padded on the inside.

Quality:
best guitar i bought for the price i paid. excellent...everything!

Value:
once again, best guitar i bought for the money. it's awsome.

Desirability:
the color was not my first choice-i have the vintage sunburst and wanted natural. but after i saw a picture of me playing the guitar i was no longer upset. it looks amazing, sounds amazing, and plays amazing. i wanted it and so should you.

Sound:
the only thing keeping me from rating this guitar a 10 for sound is the fact i use a mesa/boogie amp, and hollowbody guitars are nitorious for getting feedback with mesa amps. in a fender or marshall amp, this guitar sounds perfect, without an amp it sounds awsome, and even with my mesa (when i'm not getting feedback) it sounds great.

Support:
haven't had any problems with my guitar!

Overall:
the only thing i don't like about the guitar is that it's hard to use with a wireless system. you get a lot of interference and exterior noise. other than that it's awsome.
