Bought from a member on the board here who couldn't be easier to deal with (plaidbear), sorry for the crappy pic but was in a rush at my buddy's place, hopefully he can get me the higher res photos later.
plays and sounds great.

Glad to hear it got there safely. I tried to pack it to survive a beating. You were very patient and easy to work with, too. Cheers!

I've NEVER seen one in burgundy. That's incredible.

It's a very light burgundy with sparkly flakes. It's a gorgeous guitar, really.
BTW, the person who sold me that guitar is now selling her Epi Sorrento in the same color. It's also a '97 and was made at the Peerless factory in Korea:

Why'd you sell it? I remember you getting it a while ago and it looked amazing.

I saw a sparkling burgundy casino in the guitar shop around me, but they wanted 600 dollars for it.
It had amazing character and felt great to play. It was almost worth 600 to me...
I still really want one.

I could never get comfortable with the 12-inch radius. My left hand would actually go numb after 15-20 minutes of playing. I have carpal, so it's already a bitch to deal with, but I never remember it being that uncomfortable with the other guitars I've played. I have a black '69 RI Tele Thinline on order. I played the '72 RI (same radius as the '69) a bunch in shops and it felt a lot more comfortable. I also didn't like the way the Casino hung away from me because of where its strap knob was located. It sounded and looked great, but it wasn't a good fit for me.
