Hollowbody Electric Guitar, Left-handed, with Layered Maple Body, Mahogany Neck, Indian Laurel Fingerboard, and 2 Single-coil Pickups – Natural
An All-time Epiphone Classic Since 1961
Arguably Epiphone’s most iconic guitar, the mighty Casino’s lush and dynamic full-hollowbody tone has graced countless classic recordings since its inception in 1961. It’s served as a standard-issue 6-string during the British Invasion, a blues standby, a Britpop phenom, and an indie/shoegaze darling throughout its long tenure. In other words, the Beatles may have put the Casino on the map, but this guitar’s inherent versatility has made it a cross-genre favorite ever since. This iteration of the Casino captures the model in all its ’60s glory, complete with the model’s signature fully hollow body, comfortable SlimTaper ’60s “C” mahogany neck, and a sleek Indian laurel fingerboard studded with eye-catching parallelogram inlays. Next, a pair of Epiphone Pro P-90 pickups empower the casino with clear highs, a biting midrange, and a defined bottom end — all the hallmarks of a top-class vintage-style P-90. Lastly, a resonance-enhancing diamond trapeze tailpiece, a LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge, and handsome Epiphone Vintage Deluxe tuners provide a rock-solid reliability worthy of the Casino’s long-standing workhorse legacy.
Crisp, resonant layered maple hollowbody
While it may look strikingly similar to its Gibson and Epiphone semi-hollowbody siblings, the Casino’s distinguishing feature is that it’s a fully hollowbody instrument. This composition results in a far different tone than your typical semi, giving you much of the same lush tonal resonance found on the Casino’s Epiphone forebearers — namely, upscale jazz boxes. In fact, the Casino’s formidable acoustic volume has long made it a favorite among guitarists who prefer to practice unplugged. But, more importantly, when you plug in your Epiphone Casino, you’ll be graciously rewarded with a sound packed to the brim with exceptional depth, warmth, and dynamism.
P-90s deliver bite, grit, and single-coil shimmer
Boasting the clarity of a single-coil with the heft of a humbucker, the inimitable P-90 is one of the most time-tested designs in the electric guitar realm. From straight-ahead jazz to bellowing blues licks and iconic riffs in the rock music canon, P-90s are one of the most tonally versatile designs in the book. This guitar’s dual Epiphone Pro P-90s wonderfully capture the same chiming highs, forward midrange, and round, powerful low end that served as the Casino’s tonal hallmark in its ’60s heyday.
Speedy neck profile
A far cry from Gibson and Epiphone’s chunky ’50s-style neck profiles, this Epiphone Casino’s compact ’60s “C” neck profile facilitates speed, comfort, and slick playability. It’s constructed from a mahogany foundation for a sturdy feel and warm response, then topped with a smooth Indian laurel fingerboard that beams with iconic parallelogram inlays. It’s a fitting nod to the Casino in its most iconic form, with a look and feel that might as well be straight out of the mid-’60s!
