Epihone Casino in cherry red, 2015 model built in China. Plays and sounds lovely, reluctant sale. Serial number 15071500671

The previous owner, made a few modifications, they removed the scratch plate (included in sale), added a custom truss rod cover which I have removed and restored the original but it has left a visible screw hole (see pictures). More importantly and to their credit they replaced the standard floating trapeze tail piece with one from an Epiphone Riviera which to my amateur ear gives it a little something extra. Could just be me, but the original bridge is also included in the sale along with an official Epiphone Casino hard case.

The bad bits, there's chip in the headstock next to the second string machine head. Nothing that detracts from the function, sound and playability of the guitar. There's also a few little scratches here and there but nothing that I could show up in a photo.

This really is a lovely guitar and I was surprised when I looked up the serial to find it was a Chinese built guitar. I was certain it was going to be the more revered Korean factory build. Only selling due to having too many guitars. That's the wife's opinion, not mine. It's possible to own too many guitars.

Will be sent via Royal Mail in a proper guitar shipping box fully insured, hence the high postage cost but given this a fully hollow guitar, not something I want to take risk with. But preference would be for a collection if possible from CW5 Cheshire.
