Epiphone Casino with Bigsby Sound Check

[vibroluxor]

how this got 200k views I'll never know.

[ChazzMetal]

Is it good for stuff like Rockabilly/ Rock n' Roll?

[0x1]

you're not even using the Bigsby during Lenny! I mean, the vibrato by hand sounds perfect, but that's what the bigsby is for! I understand though, you must've gotten so used to having a solid tailpiece you just do all vibrato with your left hand huh? I'm the same way.

[stormin1158]

From someone who is considering buying one of the se Epi's It's refreshing and helpful to hear a guitar taken through it's paces to show the variety of sounds that can be extracted with a relatively clean sounding amp setting.

Great playing too. Thanks muchly :-)

[4eyed4stringer]

sounds great! your playing really gives the Casino a nice demonstration!

[Twitboy3000]

1:14 to 2:29 What song is that? I have heard it so many times, but I don't know the name...

[L0ngLiveRnR]

What do you think about these p90s? They sound sweet to me, was thinking of buying one...

[JohannesMarslew95]

Why do you only use that wonderful Bigsby one time?

[Dustwander]

que musica é essa que vc toca no começo do video?

[hounddogsblues]

@Dustwander Hideaway by Freddie King

[KingCatWolf]

how do I get a whammy bar on my Casino?

[lafnbuddha]

If you're gonna play Lenny to demo this particular guitar, why wouldn't you use the Bigsby tremolo? It just didn't make sense.... I was waiting for it.

[ArmyRangerish]

real men use floyd rose

[pavotibio]

Hey man, one question. Does your Casino get out of tune often? Mine does, and I dont even use the Bigsby.

greetings from chile.

[diddlytube]

@pavotibio Usual problem for guitar going out of tune with a fixed bridge is that slots in the nut (plastic part near tuners) are too tight. Loosen strings 1 tone, lift each string out. If you hear a "ping" sound, then that slot is too small. You can fix with #600 wet-dry sandpaper. Fold tightly in half. Sand sides of slot only. Sand a little, check fit of string. When ping is gone, re-tune, play. Now the string will not stick. Or a music shop can identify and fix the cause. Good luck.

[pavotibio]

@diddlytube Thanks man, gonna buy that sandpaper. I also ordered a new set of Kluson tunning pegs, hope that'll help too.

[genericgeorge]

@pavotibio Mine came standard and I attatched a Bigsby and then I had tuning problems. When I went back to the standard tailpiece it's pretty much never goes out.

[jvmalum]

Certainly one of the sweetest sounds out there for the money. has a voice of its own and can hang w/ the big dogs. Can get one used for 350 to 600 depending upon the model. Epiphone did well with the casino.

[OasisCarl]

champagne supernova ftw.

[Guitarfreak931]

very nice and perfect sound

[gdosic]

Excellent playing with different genres of music! Bravo!!

The crisp tones and bristling sustain.

[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!

[BeatlesGuitarPlayer1]

whats the 1st song u played

[RawjerLee]

Use this guitar + TS-9 tubescreamer + blues jr. and play the song at 1:01... you'll get everyone listening to you.

[gibsonmigue]

I want this guitar. Awesome sound

[modifproductions]

1:02 champagne supernova?

[TheJagwires]

this guitar seems to have pretty good sound for its play.... i may think about getting one of these

[u2window]

champagne supernova??

[TrenchtownHero]

"Honey Dont"

[sielos27]

nice !!! pure clean sound !!!

[mo2v8ed1]

What model Bigsby is on the Casino?

[mo28mabini]

what year?

[JGarcia658]

Love your tone and playing!!!!

%!

[JRussoBuffaloNY]

nice "Honey Don't" by Carl Perkins @ 2min 50 s

[KnightWolvesStudio]

Sorry.. is it a EPIPHONE LTD EDITION CASINO w/BIGSBY right?

[yumopyumop]

@KnightWolvesStudio

yes. made in korea.

[KnightWolvesStudio]

@yumopyumop thanks

[MrLoco00791234567890]

on the casino is it safe to remove the trapeze tailpiece to put a bigsby whammy on it? anyone knows?

[Zebonka]

It should be safe - just make sure you buy the right kind of Bigsby, as they come in a few sizes.

[MrLoco00791234567890]

@Zebonka what about the one the guy has in the video or one that fits a sheraton II or an es335? those should be good.

[Zebonka]

Oh of course! I was just making sure that people check the size first. It's never nice to buy a part that doesn't fit, hehehe.

[MrLoco00791234567890]

@Zebonka thanks allot! if i ever get the casino im going to make sure i don't break anything or ill buy a sheraton II instead

[lmTheWalrus]

Made in china or korea

[kylecj96]

how much is that guitar

[TOMLEO456]

the casino he has he add his Bigsby so it a casino with out a real bulit in bigsby the one Paul had was built in we that made his casino

[THug0001]

how much u payed for it ? with bigsby and extras?? are these gibson p90 pickups?

[THug0001]

fat sound

[d0d0Lgarutz]

does this one has a horrendous pickup hum trouble?

[amplitudedude77]

I want one.Killer tones! Listen to the Kinks lead guitarist.He uses one of these.They sound awesome a bit overdriven.

[dirkradloff]

Hey, because of this video I also bought an Epiphone Casino and together with a Fender Princeton it sounds really great though it's just a "Made in China" ... actually I am really impressed. It sounds much better than my custom Heritage , which I sold years ago. But I had to change the stock tuners and the saddle ..

[gdosic]

Great Epiphone Casino!!

Excellent playing,mate!

It appears that you have experience!

You play easy and relaxed .

[TheBobohj]

i played 1 at steves guitar shop it sounded like my friends ibenez GAX

[JC651V]

did you have to do any routing on the guitar to put the bigsby in or did it just drop in place of the old tailpeice?

[petehsuk]

Inspiring! Top work!

[lmif94]

: D

[avellinesevolante]

what bigsby unit is that?

[m0ty]

@avellinesevolante not sure if guitar is hollow or semihollow

so it's either B7 or B3

[Danthehorse]

@m0ty hollow mate

[Sindyp10]

hey whats with bisby and normal joint..just that its got tremolo right ..?

[VQgel]

you can make a how to vid =) i rly like your guitar playing

[obitobi100]

that's such a sexy guitar =)

[TheBlackOctane]

thats wonderful, love the old Epiphones like these, all them SG's and Les Pauls with Epiphone on the headstock to me are just junky, i think Guitars like these are the sex!

[SotR59]

I just got one of these a few days ago. I know mine feedsback like crazy if I use any distortion or hi-gain. But the tone is killer, love those P90's. I would like a Bigsby but wondered if the full hollow body would support one. Is there any sort of support block under the trem part of the rig? Mine has nothing in that area.

[carlomirabile]

For a Casino is it better a bigsby B7 or B70??? Because I wanna put it on my cherry Casino. Cheers

[SoVerySappy]

@carlomirabile The B70 is basically the same as the B7. The B7 is accurate...and about 150.00. The B70 can be found on ebay for 99.00. I have a B70 on mine. Changed the bridge to a roiller bridge. It is the shits...

[vismael10]

really good guitar

[zziggymaan]

oh my god dude. i love lenny. thank you for owning that song and not choking. :)

[toastytoast3919]

what were you playing at 1:14

[jpdel31]

Cool sound, but I prefer Gibson les Paul with bigsby

[guitardavid79]

Isn't it funny how a hollowbody with dog ears can nail SRV's tone soo close...when everybody with strats are still lookin' for it.

[evilvon]

I have a H&K 60-R.... besides the volume and speaker size, the biggest difference is that the 30 R has a Jensen speaker and the 15R and 60R have Celestion

[xXxMatanRefaelxXx]

you play like a king! nice job and nice guitar!

[ocean4315]

The pickups on this guitar are single coils aren't they?

How's the 60Z hum? Is it very loud?

[tshhtf]

the bigsby is sat there like a limp todger all the way through,

more bigsby pls

[zefer07]

What's that first thing you play? It sounds great! Please someone, tell me how to play it!

[jamq4]

definitivamente voy a tener mi casino, quien me presta 3 500 soles???

[martipin12]

Sorry if i make stupids questions, but, do you recomend install a Bigsby in a John Lennon Epiphone Casino?i ask cos' i want to have a Epiphone like Paul Mccartney, but cooperate with donating money to the John Lennon Music Fundation.

Sorry my english, cos' im spanish

[arjnewton]

@martipin12 I wouldn't do that!!!!

[soyellowsoviolent]

gee I thought this guitar sounds good... but I change my mind

[ElliotRocker]

Macca said once that if he had to choose one guitar he'd pick up the Casino.Also said Casino is the best guitar he played EVER

[FriedBrother]

are you using the standard casino that you can get on musicians friend for $599 ?

[MrAnaih]

Thanks Roulette secret....i have also faced many problems in the game of roulette....but no more is roulette is game to loose...

[RosaRose168]

Do you get a lot of feedback with this guitar? For example when playing a gig at high volumes. It would certainly be a nuisance if we can't control it.

[yumopyumop]

@RosaRose168

hi :D

if you use high gain distortion, got a lot of feedback.

i think ...only clean or soft drive sound.

[GalaxyHorse]

@yumopyumop The old rock players in the 60's & 70's used to fill the cavity with cotton wool to prevent high gain feed-back, it works very well, stops the arch top resonating too much.

[PunkRockDude1]

@RosaRose168 Not impossiple!!!

Dave Davies used he's casino for some gigs "You Really Got Me" No feedback at all!

[AllenK17]

@RosaRose168

I use mine for hard rock, and jazz for school, so it can handle high gain, as long as your experienced using your volume control :), it's incredibly versatile

[verylowiq]

lovely guitar.

[bluesboyguitar]

What is the thing you play at the start? That rock n' roll lick based on the scale.

[swhamilton]

You can play very nicely, you have skills. But you didn't incorporate the bigsby very much, I'd like to see that

[wisesatyr72]

do you think theres a sound difference between this guitar and the more expensive John Lennon insipired casino w/the supposedly US made P-90's? which I think is way overpriced..

[stormin1158]

Hi, Lovely playing, great sound. What is the tune you are playing from about 1:20?

[airborner63]

Which type of bigsby is used? B7?

[viceisthename]

@airborner63 B5 I think.

[aklanonboy]

such a beautifull guitar.

[TomMagic92]

I really want to put a bigsby on mine... love Casino's

[JMSGuitarz]

I would so love a Casino with 12 strungs and Bigsby, would be so awesome! Nice playing and beautiful guitar!

[MrAssbaron]

sweet...nice sound...nice playing

[Olinolan190]

Very very sexy sounding :)

[wisesatyr72]

Do you think this guitar is good as the John Lennon inspired version w/the USA P-90's?

[bellizzimanZ]

what's the name of the song that begins at 1:17?

[bluecrow00]

@bellizzimanZ lenny by stevie ray vaughan
