TPP Beatles "Apple Boutique" Custom Epiphone Casino Tribute

This TPP Beatles "Apple Boutique" Casino Tribute has been produced by The Painted Player Guitar Co. in the UK using a professionally modified and refinished Epiphone Standard Casino - one of Epiphone's flagship instruments, creating the ultimate psychedelic semi-acoustic! Inspired by the iconic artwork produced by artists "The Fool" for the Beatles' newly opened "Apple Boutique" store in London 1967, this classic design features effortless playability and performance - upgraded with a set of Grover Tuners for improved tuning stability, this completely hand-finished tribute to an era that will never be forgotten has an unmistakable sense of class that translates both on stage and in the studio.

That’s a fun item to look at. It’s cute. Not gonna pay that kinda cash to play a standard Casino. Not sure what the fair value is for the item as a curio/collectible is. I don’t hang guitars on my walls because I don’t live in a TGIFridays. So, it’s amusing but…

 

[Aahzz]

That is not the paint job I'm looking for.

 

[DinoMikeSr]

I like the colors but I’m not willing to pay for that artist’s interpretation of them.

For perspective, my Gibson Historic Memphis 1963 VOS ES-330 with a Bigsby cost less new than that Epiphone with the fancy Beatles paint. I'd much rather have the Gibson over that Casino.

There are many reasons why I prefer solid colors, and this is certainly one of them.

As far as wacky custom paint jobs go I think that this one is well done.

I do like that, but that seems a lot for an Epiphone Casino. I'd be more likely to go for the natural finish for a lot less money.

 

[Chicken Man]

Not for me.

 

[Denverdave]

I'm sure someone will pay that amount for that (see Greater Fool Theory).

 

[Tralfaz]

You too can be just like the Beatles and watch a big chunk of your money disappear on a brightly colored boondoggle.

 

[jelloman]

I've never ingested enough acid to make that look good...

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

It’s ok as a novelty item I guess.
But I wouldn’t hang it on my wall even at a regular Pac Rim Casino price.
