WTS: 1996 Epiphone Casino with hard case £600

Selling my late fathers Epiphone Casino. Comes with a vintage style fitted Epiphone Casino case, a few of the clasps on the case are somewhat loose though.

According to various online serial number searches this one is dated as being made around 1996.


There's plenty of dinks and dings on this one. The jack and pup switch have been replaced with switchcraft parts. Electronics work fine, some crackle on the bridge pick up volume pot. Pickups are original from the factory (not desirable I know). It had a setup last year when the jack and pup switch were replaced, strings are pretty new Duesenberg 10-50's.

No idea what it's worth but considering it's got a fair few dings maybe £600 is reasonable. If you're in the Wirral or Liverpool area you're welcome to come and try it out.

    Selling my late fathers Epiphone Casino....... Pickups are original from the factory (not desirable I know).
    If this is from the Peerless factory, they are fantastic guitars and punched well above their price tags.  The stock P90 pickups are actually very good, the guitars sound great, played well and have become very sought after - that's a bargain for somebody.  Is it the 40mm nut? (the only downside for me).

    Yeah it's from the Peerless factory according to the serial number search results. Indeed the nut is 40mm as far as I can see, might measure it if I can find my guitar gauge.

    Sold one just like it a few years ago and it was a brilliant guitar. I actually prefer the narrower nuts on the Peerless epis, especially if the neck fills out a bit in depth which some of them do. GLWS!

    Also prefer the neck join on these ones too, a bit of extra mobility up the top

    edit--- also I wouldn't be too hard on the pickups in some of these. Mine from the same year were marked SAM-SUNG and were a nice output - about 8k - and nothing at all like the really horrible, super hot P90s in the mid 00s Chinese Casinos.
