Sounds great. Casinos are amazing. That's definitely the finish I would've chosen too.

Love it!
I been eyeing a Casino Coupe for some time now. Those 16" wide bodies and I don't get along too well......

Great purchase and excellent review, especially since you sat with it for months to really come away with an honest review.
I have a bit of a thing for olive drab, so I am with @Mentaltossflycoon on "that the finish to get".

Thank you sir! What is it about the body size that throws you off?
That is the only way to do it because that honeymoon period tends to shade everything. It is a really great around the house guitar, I find myself playing it a lot more because of the resonance and acoustic quality.
Plus if olive drab was good enough for Chris Cornell then its good enough for me.
The casino has something about it, it draws you in.
What is the best semi hollow you have ever had?

Best semi was the Hagstrom Viking. Chinese made, but really nice. Now sold, but it went to a good home so I'm happy with that. I still own a (Chinese made) Fender Coronado that's semi-hollow, it belonged to my brother, who died in 2015. It's the one thing of his that I kept, we always said that it was more my kind of guitar than his anyway. So that one's sentimental, but it's pretty nice in itself.

Well for one thing, I'm a short dude, secondly, I've had rotator cuff repair and my right shoulder still tends to get stiff in certain positions.
I have the Eastman T185MX which is just a skootch smaller at 15" but they also make a 14" which I kinda wish I went with.
The Casino Coupe is basically the 14" body, like an ES339 which I find more comfortable for me.

If you ever find yourself in the middle of Wisconsin with that Eastman and need a place to chill, I know a guy
Hard case!?! For a guitar!?! No way! I have about six setting underneath the stairs collecting dust. I never buy them anymore, do you have one for every guitar you own?

I have a good friend that collects Calton cases.....he's got more of them than his high end acoustics. I had a couple of Caltons when I was flying with my expensive acoustics back in the day and it was pretty cool to be able check your guitar case into luggage with a $6k Collings in it. Those things are indestructible.If you ever find yourself in the middle of Wisconsin with that Eastman and need a place to chill, I know a guy

But these days, since I build more guitars than I buy, and since I NEVER play outside of the house (except virtually on Youtube
)AND since I live in Florida where the relative humidity keeps all my guitars nice and happy hanging on the walls of my office, I don't sweat cases anymore. More trouble to find a place to store them. Now guitar shipping boxes, that's another story, I have a crap ton of them up in my attic because I KNOW how fickle I am.....and likely to rotate out my whole current collection in horse trading within a few years. Heh.
