![]() This Casino is in immaculate shape for a 57 year old guitar. The poly has that hard plastic feel where the nitro had more of an organic matte finish to the neck. ![]() ![]() The biggest difference I noticed right away in the feel is the nitrocellulose finish on the 1961 versus the polyurethane finish on the reissues. It felt immediately familiar when I held it. According to Epiphone only 329 Casinos were made in 1961 so I felt an excited anticipation that I was about to check out a rare item. I have one of the 2011 reissues and I was curious how it stacks up to the originals. Hollywood is on my way home from work if I choose to go through town instead of taking freeways so I thought I would stop in to check it out. I was looking up used gear on Guitar Center's website and noticed an original 1961 Casino at the Hollywood, CA location.
