In honor of the 50th anniversary of the first Casino, Epiphone has created the limited-edition 1961 Anniversary Casino, which has many features that were discontinued after the original Casino’s first year of production. Only 1,961 Anniversary Casinos have been produced, each with a numbered certificate of authenticity.

Have you played one?
I had one and didn’t get on with it. It felt plasticky and lower fret access was awful.
Anyway there’s one on eBay if I haven’t put you off!

Do these have the slim taper D necks or the rounded C?

Don't agree, I have a both a '61 Reissue and an original '68 ES330, and whilst I agree that upper (lower??) fret access is awful, that's true for any pre-'67/68 Casino or ES330. I think the quality of workmanship on the Reissue is pretty danmed good considering the price. Go for it if that's your thang... but try and play it first, it may not be for you. For what it's worth, here's my beauts:

Exactly like i'd want it, but can't seem to find one. Obviously i prefer the red but money is a issue.

Lovely pair and you’re right I meant upper fret access. It’s not the same on all casinos though as you’ve pointed out.
I ‘really’ wanted to like mine - it was royal tan. There’s a possibility that I didn’t give it long enough but from memory I just didn’t gel with it.
I don’t recall the fretwork being remarkable either and I think mine would have benefitted from a proper setup, although it was supposed to have had one from the shop.
It was marketed as a premium product but I just didn’t get that feeling.

How much should someone pay for one nowadays?
For a reissue, probably £500+ depending upon condition, case, certificate etc. The one on eBay looks pretty nice actually, maybe offer him £600 and then go and try it before handing over the cash! An original '60's Gibson ES330 can go for anything above £3000 depending on age, colour, rarity, originality, condition, whether it's a long or shot neck, original case, case condition... blah, blah, blah... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. All I know is, I didn't want to gig my '68 ES330 so I found the reissue and it plays beautifully.
In fact, my mate in our band sold his sunburst '89 Gibson ES335 and bought a standard Epi Casino instead, after playing my reissue. They are immense value when compared to the cost of the originals, but I still say... try it first! It may not be for you.
But hey, if they're good enough for Gary Clark Jnr.....
