Feature:
It would be perfect if it wasn't for the tuners and pots. They stay in tune but they are not precise like my Les Paul or Fender. I intend to change them. Two tone, two volume and 3 way selector are pretty standard. The pots need to be changed, as well.
Quality:
Change out the POTS and Tuners and it's a quality guitar. I love mine. Some people don't like theirs and that's understandable. I've driven bad cars, owned bad guitars, etc. I was fortunate to get a great one. At least it's great to me.
Value:
For the price this is an amazing guitar. I like it a close 2nd to my Les Paul and miles ahead of my Strat.
Desirability:
It's the most beautiful guitar I own. Based on looks alone, it's a piece of art. Combine that with it's incredible functionality and you have something special.
Sound:
The P90 with the Hollow Body is an incredible combination. I am not playing metallica on this guitar, but I can play a variety of sounds/genres. It will feedback easily which can be a good thing. I strike the strings harder and the guitar responds with a bite. I hit them gently, the guitar responds with a delicate beauty.
Ease of Use:
This guitar has wonderful action and feel even with .10's. If you're looking for that John Lennon feel use .9's the way he did. At any rate, I use 10's and the tone is incredible. The feel is smooth and easy to bar for hours without feeling tired or hard weary.
Support:
Haven't had to deal with them.
Overall:
As long as it keeps working the way it is, I will be thrilled. I enjoy the guitar more than any except my Gibson Les Paul. Even then it's a close call. Keep in mind the Gibson cost 3 times as much.

Feature:
It's a great guitar. Period, end of story. Do not buy the Revolution re-issue. It's the same guitar mechanically, you're just paying for the "Lennon" name....
Quality:
My only complaint is the pickup switch: It's not that well made, compared to the quality put into the rest of the instrument.
Desirability:
I own it, and it's really freakin' sexy!
Sound:
The Casino is simply the bewst sounding guitar I have ever heard. There is a very good reason for it being a mainstay in The Beatles arsenal of axes they brought into the studio from about 1965-1970. This guitar sounds great, is easy to play, & is quite expressive. It's a fantastic recording guitar, and sounds: From the bassy sounds through the trebly leads.
Support:
Epiphone's customer service is great. They were very easy to reach and did solve my (minor) problem, which was a broken tone control knob.
Overall:
Throw out your Strat. If this product were stolen, I'd replace it.
