The modern Chinese guitars can't touch them.
The build quality is exceptional and to us, the Terada models feel like no other casinos. Japanese Epiphone Casinos are consistently superb in our opinion, we have never had one we didn't love. These are the guitars that precede the modern Elitist line. It’s one of the essential rock & roll hollowbodies.
Most of these you will see with either be natural or sunburst, both fine looking guitars but to find a factory finished Japanese Cherry Casino is difficult, very few were made! This seems to be the one everybody wants! Built in Japan at the Terada factory this is the guitar made famous by The Beatles, especially loved by John Lennon, even into his solo career. You are looking at an all-original Japanese Terada-built Epiphone Casino in very rare factory Cherry finish from 1991.
