Hmm Epiphone Les Paul or Casino

[FrancisChen]

I'm planning to grab a new electric guitar, and since I want to focus on playing the Beatles, I narrowed my choice to the Epiphone Les Paul and Casino. The Casino is a bit more expensive, but should be still within budget, so price is not a concern. What would you guys out there recommend? Thank you

I'll always encourage that you like the feel of the guitar, the neck, the playability.
Unless you have decided to adapt into a new guitar, then playability is not a concern.

Just try both of them, and see which one makes you feel good about buying.
After your purchase you should be in peace and not regret haha.

Rally : a cheaper alternative compared to epiphone.

Try before buying. Unless you are looking for second hand.

Whichever you choose, do bear in mind you would need to purchase also a decent hard case or gig bag.
To protect your guits
Most Epis do not come with bags / case.
