At one point i had a bigsby on it, i removed it and re-installed the stock trapeze (2 screws are present if you look at edge of trap tail (near rear strap button) - almost covered by stock tail - but no screws holes on top, I had a Bigsby b6 on it Also light belt wear on back, just surface scratches (hard to photo, nothing major) only other point to not is i had neck finished wet sanded with 2000 grit, for a more satin feel (less sticky), new owner can buff ot to gloss if so desired, i find it easier to play like this, looks good, not a visual distraction Condition wise - it's a 8.

Item: 273452204285 SALE Epiphone Casino Peerless Korean 2002 Translucent cherry Hollowbody Hard Cas. The Casino is what started my love affair with ES double cut thinline with p90.Seller: uncle-jesse*s-garage ✉️ (1,854) 100%, From China, MIJ and eventually just getting an ES-330 you see above.

Saein plant in Korea made some of the newer ES-style guitars but its not the same as Peerless. And Peerless stopped making Epiphones around early 2000’s. Untitled by D Y, on FlickrĪnd no, Epiphone now has a factory. My 98 Sorrento (basically a Casino with a different body shape and dot inlay markers) have 5-ply top and back, and heavy. The frets look almost untouched and there's a few marks. This 16 year old guitar is in exceptional condition. The guitar has a beautiful black finish that has now been discontinued for quite a few years.

97-98 would be my goldilocks year if I’m looking for one. This guitar was made at the very reputable Peerless factory in Korea. Make sure there’s an “R” on the serial number. It changed over the years and it became 5-ply. First years of Peerless ES-style guitars have thin top and back, 3-ply which is basically the same as Gibson.

My 97 ES-295 is every bit on par with my 2018 Gibson ES-330. im a fan of Peerless made hollows and semi.
