The CME Difference: CME's mission is to make sure your shipment will arrive quickly, carefully, and correctly.

You read that right! Any orders over $75 ship for free!* The techs at CME clearly did a great job setting up the action before shipping, and the color is truly unique and handsome - my partner has remarked several times about how beautiful of an instrument it is! I wouldn't consider myself a 'real' guitar player (mostly just play for songwriting and recording projects), but this new Casino is extremely fun to play and has reignited some of the passion I had for playing back in my teens. It fixes everything I didn't love about the previous model - better sounding pickups, wider neck, improved fit and finish. I ordered this new model back in December and just received it last week (7 months later). I was a big fan of the overall vibe of hollow-body plus 2 P90s, but the pickups were a little dark, and it didn't play very well (small cramped neck, some fit and finish issues, fret buzz even after a professional setup, etc). I had a red 2012-ish era Casino for a few years that I liked but didn't love.
