I have that exact same Strat, and it is my most favorite instrument ever.

Impressive stable of guitars, there.

Love the Casino and the J-200! Nice!!

Yes, the Strat in the photo has one of the most amazing necks. It's a "soft- V" with the most incredible rolled neck edges. Everyone that plays it falls in love.

Nice photo there, for sure. That Casino is pretty hot. How does it play/sound?

Ron. Wow. Nice! Do you play the McGuinn and the Tom Petty models or do you keep them stashed? They all look gorgeous.

The Elitist Casino, in my opinion, is one of the best values in a quality, semi-hollow electric. I removed the original tailpiece and installed the Bigsby myself. I also replaced the original Tune-o-matic bridge with a roller-bridge, which greatly improves the function of the Bigsby (tuning much more stable). The sound of the p-90's is fantastic, and the craftsmanship coming out of the Epiphone Japanese factory is second to none. As far as quality, the Elitist Casinos surpass the modern Gibson ES 335's, which I have bought and sold two.

As far as the Petty and McGuinn RICKS, I play them both regularly (only at home), carefully guarding their mint condition. The McGuinn onboard compressor is the best I've heard for the Byrds, Beatles, jangly thing.

Thats some sweet set of Rics.

I'm having a difficult time deciding which one is the coolest in that lot. Love the double-bound 360.
