Ever since I learned to play the guitar (just after the last ice age) I have wanted to own a semi-accoustic (also known as an archtop or a jazz guitar).
Why? You may well ask! Not least because they look damn sexy when you stand on stage caressing their exquisitely shaped bodies, but mainly because the sound is phenomenal!
The Casino sports 2 P90 pick ups and chrome hardware and comes in a good variety of colours with tone and volume controls for each pick up and a 3-way toggle switch. I've set mine up so that can switch easily between warm and mellow rhythm and sharp lead breaks.
The neck action is superb and makes playing this instrument easy and a pleasure.
Of course John Lennon always played an Epiphone Casino and Epiphone do sell special John Lennon Casinos but for the extra hundreds of pounds you are still basically getting the same guitar so I would suggest you steer clear of that option.
I always dreamed of owning a dream guitar - and now I do.
