Hey guys, I was hoping for some words of wisdom on this...
Having owned a plethora of epi's in the past I have no doubt they were all mainly Korean in origin. I have been feeling a strong urge to return to the brand that started my love of guitars in general (massive oasis, weller, Brit rock fan). But the "made in China" stickers on the new Casinos leaves me... Well, hollow (pardon the pun).
So, after a little research I was chuffed to see that Epiphone make the Casino Elitist which would be perfect for me it would appear. But do any of you guys have first hand experience with these £1500 beasts?

The RRP new on them is on the pricey side IMO but used in VGC or as new we're talking true vfm.
Why not try one and see what you think.

You might be able to find one of those as some middle ground.
I had one a while back it was ok...
I wasn't a fan of the neck joint it restricted upper fret access.

Phil the website spec usually gives this information.
As far as 330's go the 330L has the same neck joint position as a 335 at the 19th.
