Epiphone Casino 'Coupe' anyone ?

Did anyone get one? Might have a trade in the works...

I just can't see the point. The Casino and "short neck" 330 is so comfortable - ultra lightweight and the neck join makes the whole instrument seem much more compact, compared to a 335. I suppose I can just about see the thinking behind the ES339 et al but the Casino Coupe seems like a solution to a problem that didn't exist unless you're absolutely tiny (I'm just under 5'7" yet I'm perfectly happy with a 335 and the Casino feels quite a bit smaller, even if it isn't).

It's annoying that they're so much cheaper than the regular Casino. Maybe this is due to low sales?

They were always cheaper.

That's not 'in the closet'. That's kicking the cupboard doors open and screaming 'fookinmadferitd'jerknowworramean'.

Exactly. The neck joint on this one is in the wrong place for a Casino - 19th fret, which makes it a small 335/Sheraton with a hollow body and P90s, rather than a small Casino. 

Don't want.
