Product Description
Product Description
Perhaps the most famous Epiphone model of all time, the Casino is still going strong. This thin-line full-hollowbody archtop is constructed with traditional Maple Laminate with a Mahogany neck and gives its classic "sparkle" tone through a pair of authentic "Dog Ear" P-90 Classic pickups.
From the Manufacturer
Epiphone
From the manufacturer
Since 1961, the legendary Casino has been Epiphone’s most popular archtop and a rock ‘n’ roll standard.
First introduced in 1961, the Casino was just one of several new thinline archtops designed and produced at the company’s adopted new factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan that it shared with one-time competitor and new partner, Gibson. The Casino was adopted by Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones who used a Casino to record the demo for “Satisfaction” at Chess Records in Chicago. Howlin' Wolf took a Casino on his first tour of the UK, appearing on Thank Your Lucky Stars. Shortly afterward, John Lennon and George Harrison bought Casinos for the Beatles' 1966 world tour. Featuring Dogear P-90T Classic pickups and a 5-ply maple body with basswood top bracing. Available in Natural, Vintage Sunburst, and new Turquoise color finishes.

These are becoming more and more popular, if you have the cash, grab one!
One bonus is that since this is a full hollow body guitar, playing it unplugged while practicing sounds like an acoustic guitar! You don't get that from a solid body.
The only hardware that I upgraded was the bridge to a tuneomatic....the original one would occasionally buzz....now it's pristine, and sounds better with each passing year. No wonder why John lived his so much.
I would buy another one in a heartbeat.
The guitar is great. I had a chance to try it in my local store and the sound is unbelievable. I don't really need to say much about the guitar it's an Epi Casino (don't care where it's made, it's good quality).

El sonido que dan las pastillas P-90 es definido, limpio y sin mucho ruido de fondo. Yo toco esta guitarra en un ampli Fender Blues Junior y me da el sonido que quiero, desde Wes Montgomery hasta Chuck Berry.
Siempre me ha gustado el sonido de Grant Green quién tocaba una Gibson ES-330, pero ahorrar los 3500€ que cuesta me tira para atrás por más bonita que sea. La Epiphone Casino es la guitarra que más se aproxima tanto en cuerpo hueco, pastillas, dimensiones y sonido y todo esto por casi 1/10 del precio de la Es-330.
He tocado durante años con diferentes tipos de guitarras como Gibson Les Paul, SG, Flying V, Sonex, así Fender Stratocaster y Telecaster. Tomando como referencia todo ello creo que tengo el criterio suficiente para considerar esta Epiphone Casino como una de las mejores guitarras calidad/precio si lo que buscas es una guitarra con aspecto 'Vintage' sin tener que vender el coche para ello, así como de disfrutar el sonido de sus P-90, que están a medio camino entre Single Coil y Humbucker.
La guitarra la compré de 2da mano por 410€ y cuando la recibí no tenía un solo rasguño. Le habían quitado las pegatinas de las P-90 y la caja donde venía envuelta estaba un poco rota en la esquina superior derecha, pero nada más.
Me llegó 4 días después de que la compré y francamente estoy encantado con ella. Esta guitarra es mantequilla pura y como dije anteriormente, es una guitarra para toda la vida.
The fact that the guitar is an Epiphone original in effect with no Gibson model, I feel this made the decision to buy it very easy, unlike the fact that I purchased an Epiphone SG a couple of weeks back which I am also very pleased with!!!
The whole construction of the Casino is spotless, beautiful to look at and a real pleasure to hold and play, same goes for the hardware other that what I mentioned earlier, the tuners surprised me as the tuning was so easy and the guitar staying in tune for some time even though the strings were new.
Regarding the description presented showing the Epiphone Casino Coupe's this is not a Coupe as some have been confused by, it is a full size Casino only noticeable on the pictures by the amplifier jack input showing on the side pictures next to the original description at the top of the page. Although in reality the Coupe is cheaper in price and smaller bodied model looks very similar it is quite a lot smaller than the full Epiphone Casino and at Musik Produktiv GmbH's low price of £439 it's easy to get confused.
All in all this is a beautiful instrument and it is easy to see why the Beatles purchased these all those years ago and although the build was slightly different the latest issues are, in my view, still capable of producing all those sounds and tones with the right settings applied. If you are a Beatles lover, Oasis or other 90's type indie group lover then don't hesitate in buying one of these, you won't be disappointed!!
Pure Magic!!!!!!
