I got the Epiphone Casino!

[MrACDC1997]

CAT ROCKET!!!!

[pipsqueek14]

whats wrong with jems. im playing one right now, and i love it.

[Zebonka]

The video's just a lark, kiddo! I'm very fond of telling people that really, when it comes down to it - you can play anything, on anything.

Cheers

[pipsqueek14]

@Zebonka lol

[EPI6fingers]

When top master luthier Michael Voltzs left Gibson And joined Epiphone in 2001 his main goal war to once again make Epiphone a great guitar company once again. Today Mike Voltzs has most certainly done that And more. Most of today's Epiphone Sg's and Lp's And many more guitars are today of the most professional quality and are most certainly every bit Gibson equal and better. Andrew it's all because of Michael Voltzs we can say This today And be 100% correct. So thanks again Mike Voltzs.

[jacksondemarre]

Great guitar man.

[4runner39]

that's so funny - I know the feeling man!! have bought many guitars from ebay & it's such a rush when it finally comes!!!

[JRGrange25]

Can't ya get a refund or something lol, excellent, I actually got me a Casino today, sunburst colour like Lennon's before he sanded it down. Beautiful guitar eh. You should really take it out on the road man, should be your first choice :o)

[wedontknowone1]

I really like all of your "unboxing" videos! There fun ha .. But hows the casino now? I've been wanting to buy one..

[Zebonka]

I still love it, I play it every now and then. I think it could probably use new machine heads but we'll see.

[rvgilder]

@Zebonka What are the songs in the background called???

[Zebonka]

One of them was a song from my old band, and the other one is from an 80's movie called Electric Dreams.

[hazetubist]

Playing Abbey Road on a Casino = Much Respect

[epeemstr]

U should've yelled, NOOOOOOO!!! Like darth faded lol

[rvgilder]

@Zebonka How loud is it compared to an acoustic guitar unplugged? (10 being as loud-, 1 as loud as an electric)

[Zebonka]

I'll say 6 but it's not an exact science. Really depends on how hard you play it.

[Nico911960]

happy fuckin day to you!

[Jose04811]

Are you the dude from wolfmother man?

[TheMJG1]

Gosh, u should buy Casino Cherry colour; looks more like ES-335 from BTTF. :D

[ASpanishguy]

[ElkElkElkElkElkElk]

[StephenFiorentini]

CAT ROCKET

[indotravis]

[Benairgeek]

2:52 heavy language much?

[Zebonka]

"Why is everything so heavy in the future? Is there something wrong with the Earth's gravitational pull?"

[daniglesar]

Musician hapiness.

[alickgator]

i didn't know that the guy from Black Books played guitar ;p

[guitar12mo]

woh, it's a happy happy fucking day, and it sounds very nice

[rofozation]

is this one good to play acoustic? and can you play with amp but it sound like acoustik, you know?

thx

[GuitarBoyA7X]

best intro to a video ever! walk through door.......... happy, happy, fucking, day!

[helpwantedfilms]

CAT ROCKET!!! :D

[Zebonka]

Wrong!

[Fourstring1991]

HAPPY FUCKING DAY

[TheKamijunn]

happy f**kin' day!!!

[OnlySony88]

when do you record this video?^^

[doesthewaltz]

BEST FEELING EVER =D

[HipsterDog98]

Nothing more rock n' roll than slicing your finger open!

[espinguitar]

Great guitar and superfun video, i can feel the excitement about having a brand new guitar!

[forsythdaniel]

Nice looking guitar! How much did that set you back?

[Zebonka]

Around $650, but keep in mind that this was when the Australian dollar was kind of weak. In American money, it was absolutely fuckin' dirt cheap.

[forsythdaniel]

@Zebonka Nice man! Where'd you get it from? Definitely want one of these.

[Zebonka]

It was from eBay. Not sure who the seller was!

[ImChrisEasley]

Steve irwin? How did that get brought up? hahah. Great.

[jmkm1078]

why didn't you just show us the fucking guitar????

[fragileaudiomusic]

Gorgeous that mate. Our guitarist Leon uses a sunburst Casino, he's just taken the scratch plate off it this evening, for "a bit of a change" :-)

The only problem can be the feedback, with it being all hollow, sometimes the old Epiphone Dot's gotta make an appearance.

Beautiful colour your guitar, enjoy it and look after it for many years.

Fragile Audio. x

[127simon1996]

MEH!!!!!!! i prefer les pauls

[Zebonka]

There is room for more than one guitar in the world!

[J4m3z1]

@127simon1996

"I prefer Les Pauls" in response to an Epiphone Casino video? Are you on the wrong page?

[CTCRStudios]

lol every epiphone casino review has don't let me down..i love it

[Rubydoobiedee]

Who needs to play Jazz when u can play the Beatles?

[krzychumasej]

HAPPY HAPPY FUCKIN' DAY!

[Geothore]

i love your beatles jamming :D

[cjorata]

HAHAHAHAA poor cat !!

[acidmb]

what is best guitar in yours?

[Zebonka]

The one that's set up the best, and the one I use the most, is my Burns Brian May guitar. All my other guitars have little things wrong with them - cool guitars, but a little unreliable. I'm going to fix them all someday.

[St9ler]

box inside a box lol. Awesome video

[gdosic]

It’s unclear whether Keith Richards, who played a ’61 or ’62 model on The Rolling Stones’ 1964 American tour,

or Paul McCartney, who bought one in ’64, was the first superstar to own a Casino.

BTW --You have a fantastic guitar!

[Zebonka]

It's not feeling very well at the moment - I have to get some of the soldering redone, I think! Cheers

[MrBeatleskid]

@gdosic McCartney

[Twitboy3000]

6:01 He has Bungie.net pulled up!

[Zebonka]

Yep! He was a Bungie mod at the time (The Great Pretender or some such), but I think he's retired.

[legolas35653]

BEATLES! FTW !

[MrWhale1000]

I'm not sure who doesn't get that feeling from getting a new instrument..

[Zebonka]

Depends what you want to do with it. Is the Ultra the one with the acoustic pickups on it as well?

[Peterher3]

u legend :D

[MyDreamside]

happy happy fucking day loooool!

[gregsguitar101]

a great day

[StephenFiorentini]

CAT ROCKET!

[boredperson778]

your cat is adorable

[Aristeo509]

Cat rocket . . . pshh!

[animepwn3r]

didnt johns casino in the natural finish have gold grover tuners?

[Zebonka]

Originally, nope - but he did have some added at some point.  I can't remember the story exactly.

[animepwn3r]

@animepwn3r yeah i know not originally, but after he got it in a natural finish i saw that he added gold grovers, how come yours doesnt have it?

[astroboirap]

sideshow bob

[Nekroguitar]

Liking the pisstake out of the "I got the Gretsch" video

[MrBuddyHolly1]

another thing, this is pretty much how i acted when i got my '57 Strat

[MrBuddyHolly1]

my god it sounds so FUCKING BEAUTIFUL

[Zebonka]

I love this guitar! Needs a service though, neck pickup is going dead on me :S

[luckyjinxer]

"OOOH! What a TWIST!"

[EpiphoneDOTman]

Lol Happy Happy Fucking day.

[AgonieEtExtase]

I got a Epi SG G400 in creme, love it to bits. But I saw a Made in Korea Casino and just had to have it. Now I have two guitars. :)

[garththehuman]

ordered mine a couple days ago, cant wait till it gets here :)

[garththehuman]

ordered mine a couple days ago, cant wait till it gets here :)

[appetiteforRandR]

cool!

[JAMIESAFC1999]

i like boxes xD

[EuphoriaMusicSession]

June 19th should be considered a national holiday: Happy Fucking Day.

[x00xcarusox00x]

i'm so glad you you played the beatles :)...by the way dig a pony sounded amazing 

[Zebonka]

I love that damn song!  Cheers!!

[fadondk]

:).. btw digging the queen poster at the back :D

[masteroftheobvious86]

just bought one 3 days ago. beautiful guitar! awesome sounds...can't believe what a steal it was! so much excellent tone for so little a price...highly recommended!

love your finish....great look. got mine in an orange sunburst...

[PBANDSNOW]

You seem happy ;)

[Zebonka]

It was a great day!

[whoastupid]

i love this guitar! i just bought one and it sounds like amazing cum

[Marshallsg]

Who's singing? She sounds really good.

[Zebonka]

That would be my sister.

[SrWolframio]

Great video man!

I want to buy one of these.

Cheers from Argentina

[XXBlackPhobiaXX]

Fucking good sound!!!!!!

[Dano94910]

smells like cum

[Zebonka]

I don't even ...

[Dano94910]

@Zebonka sorry man. that was one of my friends being annoying and using my computer to post strange comments

[pablobs24]

whoo! cat rocket

[sgtpeppers76]

honestly i think the casino looks the best

[gyorfi6]

Love this!!! I'm looking at one of these used. It looks like exactly what I want.

[Zebonka]

I love mine dearly!

[JRussoBuffaloNY]

@Zebonka hey Zebo, why the hell is Musicians Friend charging an extra $100 for cherry finish? weird huh? btw nice playing ,mate!

[Zebonka]

Really?? That's insane! I always figured Sunburst might cost more, but a flat colour like cherry red .. that's silly.

Cheers!

[arjis06]

Thanks for the video, and the Beatles jams... some fine guitar work bro.... I love the Beatles too... You played some of my favorites...

[Zebonka]

Cheers! I wouldn't mind doing a better job of some of these songs on camera someday though.

[kronos666ful]

lucky bastard !!!!!!!!!

[1994dantheman]

I bought one just after Christmas sounds really nice the only problem I have is a buzz

on the bridge its pissing me off I got the Chinese model I would recommend getting a Korean built one but apart from that this is the best guitar iv owned

[FakePlastickTrees]

Brilliant Video. I've wanted a Casino for years and your video actually inspired me to finally stop being so tight and buy one, and I love it! A lot of money for a poor musician but worth it. Had a few issues including an excruciating bridge buzz and the trapeze tail piece was slightly off centre but I'm not one of these nit-picking muso types. I just got the bastard replaced! Thanks man.

[Zebonka]

Cheers!! I love mine. It's my songwriting guitar at the moment; sits at the end of the bed and waits for me to get ideas at 4 in the morning.

[philiptaylor1612]

id laugh if there was a banana in the box

[650Golf]

I lowkey like your videos

[jhardin73]

dude, that was hilarious and awesome all at the same time. i've almost bought a casino about half a dozen times. after hearing those beatles licks, i might just have to go get one now. and please, watch out for the cat next time.

[lmTheWalrus]

Your guitar is normal casino or John lennon casino?

[Zebonka]

Regular one. I figured I'd take my chances and save a bit of money. Great guitar, but with my hard rocking I've accidentally knocked the neck pickup out of commission ... currently looking for some kind of guide on how to fix it myself, as I can't really afford to get someone else to do it.

[lamblap]

Which seller did you buy from? I am impressed with the packaging

[Zebonka]

I wish I could remember! It was a smallish Ebay seller in Texas, I think ... as it was a couple of years ago I'm not entirely sure.

[surflouis1]

Happy fucking day.

[pointshootgreen]

Happy F*ing Day! Of course...when you get an Epiphone Casino

[0123mala]

THE CAT :DDDDD lol

[fxcat123]

beautiful guitar!

[windingtime]

Here's wishing you a Happy Christmas and all the best in 2011. Thank you for your incredible videos. I enjoy them very much.

P.S. - Just a note on a previous poster's comment. I have mentioned that I am a guitar technician and repairman. Vintage and high price do not guarantee a good guitar. I have had many so called "desirable" instruments pass through my hands that would make better kindling wood than guitar. Enjoy your Casino and your other lovely instruments...Cheers!!!

[Zebonka]

Thanks for the generous comment, and a Happy New Year to you!

I've never really been monied enough to enjoy more expensive instruments (my most expensive is a Brian May guitar at around $1500) so I've learned to love the cheaper stuff! Never rule out the cheap guitars, I reckon.

[Zebonka]

Well duh!  One doesn't pay $600 for vintage, haha.

[finndesolace]

really funny guy, reminds me of mr bean

[GabrielDV3]

lonelyspanish18

5:41 I Want You (She's So Heavy) by The Beatles;

5:56 The End Solo by The Beatles;

6:04 Don't Let Me Down by The Beatles;

6:21 Because by The Beatles;

7:37 Dig A Pony by The Beatles.

[AlexWolfking]

Enjoy mate ! =)

[lonelyspanish18]

5:41 i want you (she's so heavy) by the beatles!!!

[gokolink]

love the lazy riff

[strabbs1]

annoying

[Shaguar66]

love the cat rocket xD best guitar review i've seen so far.

[Zebonka]

Yeah, the cat's my favourite bit.  Cheers!

[Twitboy3000]

@Zebonka CAT ROCKET!!!!! PSHHHHHH!

[Shaguar66]

love the cat rocket xD

[gladiators2037]

i love this guitar. i got one a few months ago, and it's amazing. i love it. it's great

[ChernobylTaco]

I've never heard anyone play with such beautiful vibrato. I must say, yours is pretty flawless. Really really.

[Zebonka]

I dunno, I kinda hate my vibrato! Haha. I always go way too overboard whenever I'm doing a video. Nerves, I guess.

[LordEizen]

haha star wars music xD and beatles! haha i like your energy and your new guitar :D

[stevenlp12]

Love the video!!!!

especially the ending!

hahahaha

btw what amplifier did you use?

[PunkRockDude1]

It smells like wood! :D

Damn I laughted in that.

[wadothepimp]

i am soooo getting that guitar

[TheHawkdaddy]

You plan on getting the Epiphone John Lennon acoustic?

I'd personally would like the white Gibson model, but 10k is a bit much for the model of the man who said "Imagine theres no possession"

[Zebonka]

Ha! I could not word it better myself if I tried. I pretty much stay well away from signature models; I just find them pointless. Most (not all, but most) famous guitarist's guitars were not signature models, or even particularly special quality at the time. Just look at the Eddie Van Halen guitar you can get for $50000. $50000 to buy something that looks like it's been kicked and set fire to? I much prefer to buy a cheap axe and make it my own.

[TheDG1973]

I have watched this video a few times. I love seeing people get excited about instruments. Like watching a kid open a present at Christmas.

[23zoid]

Ah a true Beatles freak, awesome !!

[Zebonka]

Right down to the bone!

[VAB0L0]

We're gonna need a montage!

[tylergt7]

Is the epiphone casino worth the money like is it good and i like the isnt it a pitty cover

[Zebonka]

Oh! Well, I dunno. I like the guitar; I broke my own rules in buying it though, which is that you should try the thing out before buying it. As it was on the internet, I didn't get that option.

Thanks about the cover. Cheers!

[tylergt7]

@Zebonka ok hey if i get it ill make a vid and throw ur channel name in there

[Zebonka]

Cheers man!

[TheHawkdaddy]

@tylergt7

Well Gibson doesnt really make Casinos anymore, that being said the Casino is one of Epiphones better models.

[ThreeSpheres909]

yay! barrydennen12 vids that arnt barrydennen12! its like beatles solo records

i must say that really is a beautiful piece of work, you are a lucky man :)

[Zebonka]

Cheers man!

[Gasoline85]

I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but you should do more of these! ;)

[Zebonka]

When I can afford more guitars, sure!

[JamesBongos]

wow you australians are crazy guys!

[CountCane1994]

I liked this vid for three reasons:

1. Sweet Hair

2. Sweet Guitar

3. Cat Rocket

[sekacbarc]

wut kind of effects is he using?

[Zebonka]

Effects? None in this video, if you're talking about the guitar sound. Just guitar + amp, hehe.

[Khaneistheking]

Cat rocket was the best part.

[Zebonka]

It's definitely my favourite bit.

2:35 for anyone who doesn't know what Cat rocket is.

[iamdanielcash]

this is the coolest unboxing video i've ever seen lool

[windingtime]

Happy fucking day indeed. I got my Casino back in March and it's such an amazing guitar. I found this video when I started thinking about buying one and I keep coming back to watch it. Very entertaining. All the best to you...Cheers!!!

[Zebonka]

You are very welcome!

[cybercop112]

dude nice guitar but take good care of it cuz the headstock on my es 335 ad it said that headstock breakages are a deffect that gibsons and epis have

[Theonlymoog]

The cat part was AWESOME!!!!

[scatered1]

[czaaaaaa]

HAPPY HAPPY FUCKING DAY!

[NHurford1]

is that the red special guitar in there?

[Zebonka]

Indeed it is!

[27069614]

poor cat :[

[jonnyBB3B]

lol pisser'' THERES NO GUITAR''

[toastytoast3919]

CAT ROCKET!!

[lee00dub]

I can't believe this was filmed in 2008, It looks like it should be the 80's there!

[Zebonka]

T'was definitely the theme I wanted!

[lee00dub]

@Zebonka it kind of reminds me of Waynes World! haha how is the Casino then? I have one in Cherry red and absolutely love it.
