Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted May 26, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 26, 2017 I know you hold your Peerless built Casino in high regard Phil, and rightly so. I had to sell mine sometime back, got more for a 2001 that a brand new MIC with case costs. Been looking ever since Tada......I have the answer. What am I?

FWIW, my Peerless-built Casino was also built in 2001. And short of becoming financially destitute, I'll never sell it. The kids can argue over who gets it when I'm gone.

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted May 27, 2017 Author Moderators Share Posted May 27, 2017 Sorry guys, I'd forgotten what tring to post with photos from a phone was like 😡 I'll try later with a laptop or summat, but yes, two of you rumbled me Peerless Songbird...talk about Peerless holding out on Gibson/Epiphone. I expected a Casino clone with a different headstock. I got an ES-330 with shabby pickups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted May 27, 2017 Author Moderators Share Posted May 27, 2017 Rather a glib way of saying that with some decent pickups, the quality of build and finish make it very close to a good 330 than a good Casino, and I've got access to a modern and 60s 330 and Casino to compare it to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mikeo Posted May 30, 2017 Members Share Posted May 30, 2017 Nice looking Pearless songbird/ Casino. If I ever do a Epiphone Casino, I'll probably do one of the Elitist models. I have heard they are very nice. This years guitar purchase was done in April with a Gibson ES275. So far it's really nice. Enjoy that new guitar in good health.

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted May 30, 2017 Author Moderators Share Posted May 30, 2017 That's a gorgeous looking guitar! Congratulations Ratae! A new 5 ply pickguard and and some Mojo pickups with A3 magnets wound to vintage specs with plastic covers, and I'll be happy. These pickups are the same as the Epiphone ones, apparently the newer songbirds have flamed bodies and use a lower wind pickup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might consider it someday, but I'd definitely want to hang on to the originals - I've been pretty happy with the sounds I get from them. Again, what a cool guitar! I'm really happy for you sir!
