Topic: Epiphone Casino vs Elitist Casino

Hey folks
Just finished off another video - this is a comparison between my two Casinos, a standard and an Elitist. Hope you like it!

Hi Jack,
Thanks for the comparison,  I was lucky enough to have won an Elitist Casino last years and was very impressed by the feel of the guitar.  How do the two compare neck and (fit and) finish wise.  I told my friend that I would have got one of these in 1965, I probably never would  bought another guitar.

Sure thing!
I love them both - the Elitist has a slightly darker and woodier tone, with a bit more sag. Also the wood, hardware and electronics are higher quality. Else they're very comparable, the standard stacks up surprisingly well. I love having the Elitist for its... well... elitism... but the standard is also a very cherished guitar in my collection. I've actually named them both after my girls!
