I have this:

An amazing mid 90s Peerless Casino which I truly love.

 

Yet I want one of these...

An elitist casino. There's one used at my local m&p for $1300 used w/ ohsc. It's maybe a benjamin less than the cheapest used one on ebay.

 

Seems kinda redundant but that particular one is an amazing player. Even so $1300 can buy you a hell of a nice guitar, which this one is, but again I already have an extraordinarily nice one so...

 

Am I dumb or what? Or should I go for it?

If you are getting that on in addition to the one you have, it's a great idea. Nothing wrong with having two of the same type. Two similar guitars like that will feel and sound a bit different and you have the added flexibility of keeping them setup differently. I mean, how many strat guys have different strats?

 

If you are selling the one you have, I guess i'd justbe sure you like the other best. Good be a good idea, good be a terrible one.

 

Your's is lovely btw. i don't recall seeing one with a finish quite like that before. :)

I'm in the process of getting down to 1 acoustic and 1 electric. Then again I owe 30+ grand in student loans

 

believe me that's all you need. for a time, then you MUST replenish what was lost tenfold. we must maintain the cosmic order of things...;)

Isn't $1,300 a little high for an Elitist Casino?

 

 

In my research it's a little low. They go for 1700 new. Still might be able to haggle a bit and I would probably trade in at very least my epi wilshire '66 for it, if not my AC30 which I am always thinking of moving from.

I can't imagine having two of the same guitar.



They really aren't that much alike. The build on the elite is much closer to a good 335. Kinda like having a MIA std. strat and a MIM std. strat. Yeah they're the same but the build quality, pups and hardware is different. Feels like a completely different guitar. Don't get me wrong, the Peerless plays fantastic, the elitist is a completely different level though.

In general I agree with you though. I never thought I'd have two of the same either until I played this one. Now I'm seriously considering it. :eek:
