Tell me about Epiphone Casino's

[randyz]

Rob: The orange Sorrentos are actually quite easy to find for $500-600. I bought mine from Mike's Music in Ohio, but they come up on Ebay regularly. It's probably the most common color with vintage sunburst a close second. The Sorrento is very similar to a Casino (same pick-ups, bridge, controls, headstock, case), but also different (body shape/length, neck markers). It's a neat guitar, but not an authentic reissue. The original Sorrentos from the 1960's usually had a single mini-humbucker at the neck, a floating bridge, and some hideous looking greenish burst finishes. This guitar is more useful for rock'n'roll or blues.
