Epiphone Casino '61 re-issue

 

Epiphone is re-issuing the '61 Casino models, the above model is one of them. I've tried whatever Casino models which are available here throughout the years; they are great-sounding guitars but the upper fret reaches are limited.

Gibson: RD...

1970s was a down period for many guitar designs & QC, it was also the decade of rejects. The guitar you see here, the Gibson RD, didn't win favours in terms of visual appeal. In giving it due credit for being experimental, some fans could see that it's a fusion of the Explorer, Thunderbird & SG but gone horribly wrong in Dr. Frankenstein lab. Anyway, if you are into such quirks, the manufacturer decided to give it a re-issue run in the mean time. The model you see here is the RD Standard Exclusive.
