Epiphone Casino Nat Electric Guitar

A Tradition of Excellence. The basis on which Gibson built their ES Series of guitars (some of the most lasting and important instruments in the development of Rock and Roll), the Epiphone Casino is truly a guitarist's guitar, rich in tradition, tone, and history. And at this price, it's the only Casino you can really ever count on to not break the bank!

Classic Construction, Classic Tone
The Casino's combination of a laminated Spruce arched top and hollow Maple body offers the discerning tone junkie a veritable smorgasbord of complex tones, rich harmonics and pleasing overtones. Unlike the ES335 or other semi-hollow instruments of this shape, the Casino is a fully hollow instrument. Though slightly more prone to high-gain feedback, an all-hollow guitar is offers richer resonance (true tone aficionados gladly make the tradeoff). This tone-machine's set Mahogany neck and array of dual P-90 dog-ear pickups deliver everything from singing sustain to chimey rhythm jangle, all at the flip of a switch or the stomp of a box. The combination of a Rosewood fretboard with the rest of these carefully selected tone woods create a wonderfully balanced instrument, both in sound and feel. The four top-mounted control knobs (volume and tone for each of the rhythm and lead pickups) allows for even further tweaking and tonal exploration, presenting a palette rich enough for even the most demanding six-string Centurion.

Like Shaking Hands with an Old Friend
Featuring the tried and true Gibson 24.75-inch scale length and 1.68-inch nut width, the Casino immediately feels as comfortable as a your favorite pair of jeans or a perfectly broken-in pair of boots. The neck profile is at once substantial and quick, capable of digging in for some open position chording or slithering around for snakey runs, double-stops, and pull-offs. The bound fretboard edges only add to this comfort, especially for all of you thumb over the top players out there.

Finishes Fit for (a) Prince
Available in 3 striking paint jobs and finishes (Cherry, Vintage Sunburst, and Natural), the Epi Casino has enough looks to keep up with whatever amount of costume changes you happen to throw into your set. Alternately, you can take the John Lennon approach by pulling off the pickguard and sanding off the finish down to the bare wood... heck, if it helps you write a song half as good as one of his, it would be well worth the effort. Tasteful appointments include a classic trapeze style bridge tailpiece, bound rosewood fretboard with handsome parallelogram inlays, bound body, chrome hardware, and oversized "open book" Epiphone headstock. This is not an instrument that screams garish pomp; instead, it gently exudes a sense of refined class and taste.
