Casino Coupe following an ES330

erky32

Last year I bought a fine 330 from a Fretb'd member and its great, but I don't sit and noodle with it as often as I expected, I tend to pick up my Epi ES Pro LP for unplugged electric. I think it boils down to dimensions. I don't usually take a hollowbodied out the house since my strat does that, so I was wondering about downsizing to a Casino Coupe for its acoustic noodling qualities & dimensions. I presume the neck is similar to my Epi ES LP?. Can anybody shed any light on the qualities of a Coupe, or lack of ? ....and if anybody is searching for a red 330 - let me know!

YES ME!!! Is it a 2018 VOS one?

Never played a Casino Coupe but would assume it's relatively similar vibe but maybe a little bit quieter.

Yes, I believe they are similar volume acousticly, but more middy, lacking a few bassy harmonics - but that's ok for what I'm looking for. .....& yes the 330 is a 2018 Memphis in Cherry. If you want any piks I can publish.

Yes please... I had one before and foolishly sold it

I had a Casino Coupe. The neck is pretty chunky. More so than a Gibson 339. 
I quite liked it. Gigged it once, and yes, feedback was hard to control.

thanks for that - maybe I should see if I can find one to try. The neck description is same as my Epi es pro - D slim taper, which is not like the original Gibson LP slim taper I know, my the epi pro is a bit chunky with the D shoulders but I cope ok with that ok. Thanks for feedback info also, fortunately I wont be gigging this , apart from maybe more quiet open-mic stuff - so I can live with that limitation.

I want £1800 plus postage (that is usually around £60 because I live in France) ....not really wanting to trade apart from wanting to try an Epi Coupe ....I'm downsizing my collection of gear a bit.

Have a look at a Gibson ES390

It’s the shrunken down 330

Yes, I'd be tempted if I saw one, but I'm already talking to somebody selling a Casino Coupe, and I had a Casino before the 330 which I always enjoyed.

I had my ES 390 for sale a while ago but withdrew it - it's a stunning guitar:

Thanks for the heads-up on that! - but unless I buy a second one  I can't go for that one - I pushed the button on a new one over the weekend (hopefully arrive today!!)
