About This Listing

Here is a very nice 2000 Korean Peerless Casino. It was built at the well renowned Peerless factory in Korea. It is a nice clean example of one of the great guitars. These Peerless Casinos took over from Japanese Terada production. They like Terada, have been long discontinued now that production has been moved to China to cut costs, these excellent Peerless guitars don't come up much nowadays; they are very well thought of and becoming harder to find as their reputation grows. This one is a lovely hollowbody. It is ageing very gracefully with a deep vibrant ’65 Era Vintage Sunburst finish. The plastics and binding are starting to age to an off-white and all the metal hardware still retains a deep shine. You feel how solid and resonant this one is as soon as you pick it up. It plays beautifully with a medium action and the P90’s boom as soon as you plug it in. You really can’t go wrong with a hollowbody/P90 combination. It has. nice medium people neck carve (sightly thicker than its earlier Japanese predecessors) with a 40mm nut width. There have been no breaks or repairs. It’s all original with no modifications and still has its original pickguard. Electrically and structurally sound. Neck is dead straight truss rod checked and functioning fine, plenty of life left in the frets. It’s a nice weight at 2.7kg. Has some light playwear, a little nick on the headstock corner, and some slight headstock cloudiness, all just superficial. It comes with its original Epiphone hardcase, has its key and all latches working fine. Also comes with original certificate card and hang tag. I’ll let the pics tell the rest of the story, this is a beautiful old Peerless Casino. The Korean Casinos from Peerless have gained a great reputation and increasing in value. Don’t miss this one.

At Gas Station Guitars we carefully hand-select all our guitars, if they don’t blow us away on all fronts, we just don’t put them in our shop; if it’s for sale by Gas Station Guitars, you know it’d gonna be pretty special.  All pictures are of actual guitars, all guitars are in hand and we do not use stock photos. NOT FOR TRADE or part exchange, thanks. We ship worldwide to the USA, E.U, Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan and of course the UK.
