I want archtops like Casino, Sheraton and others made new in Nashville. The Texan is a good start

$2,699. For that price, I hope the E stays on the pickguard forever.

Imerkat you just made my day. I was unaware Casino was newly being made here.
Back when JC took over at Gibson a couple of years ago I posted a thread on Epiphone Casinos being allowed again to be built here. I never thought it would happen but I thought it would be real sign that the new owners of Gibson weren't posers.

I had withheld my opinions on the new ownership because it isn't easy to crank up a big factory and get things immediately rolling the right way. I didn't want to condemn or praise them too early.
I think it is obvious the new management is now loaded for Bear and travelling full steam ahead. Bravo JC and company on making casinos in the USA again.

It probably won't. It's like the rear bumper spacers on old Caddy's
