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. 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.
Here we have some real Rock & Roll royalty in an all original Japanese Terada-built Epiphone Casino in natural finish from 1996.
