Right now I am still in my return period, so I am just washing my hands of this. I called Epiphone as well and they want me to ship it to them on my dime, on the off chance they fix it (doubt it) or they send me yet ANOTHER Casino. I don't think it is asking much to have a guitar that does not sound like it is rattling all the time.

It was decent of them to spend time for free looking at everything, but it simply was not worth putting good money into what seems to be a chronic problem with these guitars. They look it over and he comes to a similar conclusion, basically this is a thing with these guitars and that they could work on it but it may return. I went to a good luthier in NYC which was an immense inconvenience, but I figured I like the guitar if this can settle it, why not try. She does not even want to really deal with the guitar, I can't say I blame her. I took it to the first tech, she looked over it and even removed the bridge wire no luck. I tried just about everything imaginable, tightened everything, checked the wire, etc. I like to sit on the couch playing unplugged to practice, and I think it is unacceptable for the guitar to not play cleanly unplugged. The rattling came on guitar 3, and it is REALLY annoying.
I loved the Casino for the one week at a time it would not rattle worse than a petulant baby shaking his toy. A huge waste of my time and relatives money. I have had enough, and this has been my worst guitar experience in the 10 years or so that I have been playing.
#Peerless guitars songbird vs casino update#
Well, another and probably final update in the saga. I have been using a Mustang III building a bunch of nice Interpol-esque settings to toy with, the people who have heard me think the guitar sounds excellent. As of right now though, there is no real indication of anything being off. If it rears its head I will just get a solid aftermarket bridge (Gotoh or Tonepro is what I was thinking too) and hopefully that would be the end of it. I am aware this problem may come back, but so far it is clear sailing. Long story short, I am fairly certain I am keeping number 3. The guitar plays really well right now though and it only needs a few minor setup tweaks to be A+. I am pretty happy, but generally leery that the issue may eventually come up. No problems, so it has been around a week of solid playing with pretty much no issues at all. I said to hell with it and started playing it. Once it got home it sat in the case for the first day to acclimate, that and I was sort of nervous that this was going to be another bogus guitar. Truth is that the 2nd one had a few tiny finish issues, which gladly the 3rd one (or 1st for that matter) did not have. The 3rd came right before Christmas, and I inspected it really closely. The store had been really fair with me and the fact that they were willing to get me a 3rd, I just rolled with it. I liked the Casino as a guitar though, so the whole thing just was leaving me in a weird position as you guys know. The simple matter was that I really do not like the idea of paying what could be $100 or more just to have someone fix something that is really a defect, it just rubs me the wrong way. I went back home for the holidays intent on returning it. I read everything you guys said and spent time considering it. Just a small update for anyone interested how this seems to have played out.
