All of CME's Casino listings say out of stock except for the Import vintage sunburst and Import natural, and both have an estimated restock date of December 2022? about 10 months away, but Epiphone said these models are not going to be available again so who knows. Why do some people remove the pickguards on Epiphone Casinos (usually on the natural finish ones).
It's not in stock and doubtful they'll get more. Not sure if they'll get anymore in at this point, but Chicago Music Exchange (which is the brick and mortar part of 's business) gets all kinds of great exclusives from brands, different colored pedals and whatnot, and they have this really beautiful Worn Casino The matte woodgrain feel on the back of the neck is such a luxury, I much prefer it over the standard glossy necks.
I love that blue color, I considered getting that but ultimately went with the worn black and it's probably my favorite of my 4 Casinos.
