    '66 Epiphone Century

    I've only bought one vintage guitar and I sunk $800 into it for repairs after I bought it cheap. Just be aware that vintage can be pricey to get them in top shape. It involved a lot of my own labor too. If you're that type of guy it's rewarding but it isn't for everyone. If you're a real busy...

    '66 Epiphone Century

    I see 2 finish issues but I would ignore those. They could cause trouble if you were selling it but as far as playing it no real concern. I have a guitar 20 yrs old with worse probs and I can't yet tell if it's finish checking or wood cracking. Once I tried to sell it but the store didn't want...

    Anybody here prefer the 1990s-2019 headstock shape over the new 2020s???

    That looks more like a Fender headstock

    Anybody here prefer the 1990s-2019 headstock shape over the new 2020s???

    I think this new headstock will help Epi LP sales a lot. This will be huge. I was checking out the LP Standard, Jrs and LP Classic on the Epi site and they were all sold out already. What does that tell you? However I'm not sure about the new style on archtops. I associate the archtops with...

    Climate Emergency

    Google flies Prince Harry all over the world in a jet for climate change parties but we can't have a plastic straw in our Diet Coke from Mcdonalds at lunch. Ignore these demons.

    Climate Emergency

    Global warming is Globalism not science. Ignore these awful control freaks. The Manson Family tried to use the environmental con to destroy America as well. Climate cons are not new.

    NGD: Epiphone 1961 Casino Reissue (Royal Tan)

    First Casino I've seen with the white stinger on the face of the headstock. That's about the most unusual Casino I've ever seen too. Can you reveal what you paid? Did you get the case?

    Epiphone Casino, 1958?

    It is not 66 because it doesn't have the 66 style Bigsby. It has the second Epi style headstock so it cannot be any earlier than very late, late 64. That would appear to be a 65

    Epiphone Casino, 1958?

    Yea I see what you mean about the headstock. There is a very subtle difference between the Gibson and latter Epi headstock style. I have an even later Epi style Casino with a 3rd headstock style. Yours would be a 66 but for the earlier Bigsby on yours. Maybe made late 65 or early 66? The...

    Epiphone Casino, 1958?

    The headstocks changed in 65. Yours looks like a 64 or earlier since it has the earlier headstock style. Supersonic is right about ser nos being confusing or wrong.You can date a casino by the headstock style too. McCartney and Lennon had Casinos made a year apart. McCartney's Casino made in...

    Epiphone Casino, 1958?

    Look at those slanted inlays on the fretboard. I've never seen those on a Casino. You may have a pricey vintage Casino.

    Epiphone Casino, 1958?

    I'm certainly no expert but that guitar has the later model Epi scroll headstock where as I thought the earlier ones had the open book Gibson style headstock. I had to edit this post because I enlarged it and saw the headstovk is the earlier type headstock I do not know what to tell you except...
