Ask Bigsby what they think.Īs far as a source for a wiring harness, I would talk to TWANG if I were you. But, as I indicated, McCartney's Casino had a B7 too and it would have been a pound or two higher than a B3 so that's not entirely the issue. This particular top had the most grain Ive seen - many look really smooth with no grain. Feels very satiny - but nothing like the worn nitro finishes that Gibson does. First Impressions: The Worn finish looks great in person. Here is a super clean 2006 made in Korea Epiphone Casino (not the cheaper China made model) in a Vintage Sunburst finish.this guitar has a Bigsby tremolo. My first thought is that Casino doesn't use a B3 because there isn't a licensed model (no B30 or B300) so cost would be a factor. Hey Yall, just got my Epiphone Casino in from Sweetwater. The only potenitial issue might be the break angle off the back of the bridge. My first guitar, a Harmony H76, had one and it worked just fine. My guess is that the top of the casino is thick enough to support a B7/B70/B700 just fine but if was mine, I might consider a B3 that didn't have to be screwed down to the top. Here's a picture of Lennon playing it before Paul had it restrung sinister style: McCartney's Casino has a B7 on it as well. ![]() Previously, Epiphone had their own branded Bigsby (didn't say Bigsby on it so I've always wondered if it was a knockoff). In fact, two Kalamazoo designed guitars-the J-160E out the classic Epiphone John Lennon EJ-160E) and the Epiphone Casino-together share the distinction of being the only two guitars heard on every Beatles recording session. Epiphone had a special run of Casinos with Bigsbys that I thought looked fantastic. The Epiphone Casino might be the House of Stathopoulo's most iconic instrument thanks to its association with The Beatles.
