I’ll let the pics tell the rest of the story, this is a beautiful old Casino and like all these old Japanese Terada models a superb investment, even more with this factory finish. It’s also a very smooth player and those original dog ear P90s sound huge! Compete with old Epiphone Casino HSC with key, in fine working order. Neck is dead straight truss rod checked and functioning fine, plenty of life left in the frets.

No pickguard, it just has the Lennon-esque screw and rubber spacer. There is light playwear visible over the body but nothing horrible, just general light playwear. You get all the gentle good-looking ageing with none of the ugly stuff. This one is ageing very gracefully with a real vintage vibe, with uniform dull surface grey patina on the pickup covers, bridge, and trapeze tailpiece. The nickel ABR-1 bridge has the correct 'Made in Japan' text on the underside, and the orange oval label visible through the F hole has the correct five-digit serial for Terada factory production (1 for the year, 5 for the Casino model, and three digits for the production number). The electronics are all untouched, with original nickel pickup covers on the P-90s. A really nice dark bound rosewood fingerboard on this one. It’s nice and light at 2.9kg with a very comfortable fast neck on the slightly thinner side.

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.
