epiphone '61 reissue casino 50th anniversary

I just want to know, if you own a '61 reissue, how well it resonates. Last point - I'm not looking to debate the benefits of resonation or whether it affects the guitar when plugged in. I'm wondering if this is a trait of all Epi '61 reissues due to the very thin neck? Perhaps it's just the 2011 50th Anniversary with the uber thin neck? Maybe mine is just one that is below par? Got a '61 reissue? How's yours unplugged? I have a 2011 (same year) G400 set-neck SG that has the full '66 style pickguard with a thicker neck (although they still used the early heel) and that's more resonant too although it doesn't match my other guitars that are best at that. I have a set-neck LP that resonates much better. I have a very cheap bolt-on Epi LP that resonates much better. Playing it unplugged, which I do for most of my practice, is not exciting.

But it doesn't have much in the way of acoustic resonance.

I'm a big fan of the physical layout: Super thin neck, very lightweight, no neck dive, easy to play for me. I have a 2011 50th Anniversary set-neck Epi SG. It captures the Fabs and their Casinos at their pinnacle of cool.Looking for subjective opinions from people who own a '61 Epi Reissue SG on the 'acoustic' resonance of their guitar. If you want to see why 60s Casinos are so sought after, check out the promotional video The Beatles shot for Rain at Chiswick House in London on. US- and Japanese-made versions of Lennon's Casino, both finished (the '65) and stripped (the 'Revolution' guitar), are available, while the model's significance was marked by the 50th Anniversary model in 2011. The model was subsequently resurrected in Japan in the late 70s, before making a huge comeback as a reissue in the mid 90s, thanks to Weller and Oasis. That year also marked the end of the first run of US- made Casinos. While Beatle George later moved on to a red Les Paul and a beautiful rosewood Telecaster, Lennon had the finish stripped from his Casino, and used it right up to the break-up of The Beatles in 1970. Ease of playability is legendary thanks to slim necks, fattish frets and low actions. The Beatles connection is a huge part of the appeal of the Casino, but the bright chime of those P90s is crucial, too. For full print reviews, lesson tabs and more, look for the Holiday 2011 issue. Like the ES-330, 60s Casinos had fully hollow, five-ply laminated birch and maple bodies - they don't have a centre block like a Gibson ES-335 or Epiphone Sheraton - and a pair of singlecoil P90 pickups.
