1998 Epiphone Casino Manchester City Blue w/OHSC, Made in Peerless Factory Korea, Rare, Noel Gallagher
Up for grabs is a well-kept 1998 Epiphone Casino in an incredibly rare Manchester City Blue finish, made in the renowned Peerless Factory in Korea. This guitar comes complete with its original Epiphone-branded ES fitted hard case and warranty card.
There’s very little information available about this rare finish on the Casino platform, which is otherwise only seen on the Epiphone Supernova Noel Gallagher signature model. We’ve found just one other example on the used market recently, with the serial number R98F0985—consecutively before this one—suggesting that only a handful of these were made.
The Casino features a fully hollow all-maple body, a slender, fast-playing C-shaped neck profile with a nut width of 1 9/16", and a pair of stock P90 pickups.
Condition-wise, our Casino is a clean example, especially given its age. Apart from the odd blemish, it shows minimal play-wear, with only a few faint hairline scratches visible under certain lighting on the body and pickguard, along with some discolouration on the front face of the headstock. Other than that, it's in remarkable condition, and it’s unlikely you’ll find another in this exemplary state.
The neck provides a smooth, uninterrupted feel with slick playability, further enhanced by a professional light fret dressing. The stock electronics function flawlessly, and the original P90 pickups deliver the classic bark and bite that make these guitars so beloved. This one weighs in at a mere 5.73lbs!
It’s been expertly cleaned and setup by Ben of Beej Guitar Repairs with a fresh set of 10-46 strings
