Epiphone Casino: A Rock 'n' Roll Legend and Epiphone?s Best-Selling Archtop

The Epiphone Casino has been a cornerstone of rock 'n' roll since its introduction in 1961. Renowned for its rich history and iconic sound, the Casino quickly became Epiphone's best-selling archtop and remains a beloved choice for musicians worldwide. Originally crafted in the Kalamazoo, Michigan factory shared with Gibson, this legendary guitar was embraced by rock legends like Keith Richards, John Lennon, and George Harrison, cementing its place in music history. The Casino's distinct tone is powered by Dogear P-90T Classic pickups and a 5-ply maple body with basswood top bracing, delivering the unmistakable sound that has shaped countless hit records.

Iconic Design and Legendary Tone

The Epiphone Casino is designed with a 5-ply layered maple body, providing a lightweight yet resonant foundation for its signature sound. The basswood top bracing enhances the guitar's tonal clarity and sustain, making it perfect for a wide range of musical styles, from rock to blues and beyond. The Dogear P-90T Classic pickups offer a rich, warm tone with plenty of bite, making the Casino a versatile instrument that can handle everything from smooth jazz chords to gritty rock riffs.

SlimTaper D Neck for Effortless Playability

The Casino features a SlimTaper D profile neck, offering a comfortable and fast playing experience. The neck is made from durable materials and is paired with a Pau Ferro fingerboard, providing a smooth surface for intricate fretwork. With a 24.75-inch scale length and a 12-inch fingerboard radius, the Casino is designed for players who demand precision and playability. The 22 frets are adorned with Pearloid Parallelogram inlays, adding a touch of classic style to this already stunning guitar.

High-Quality Hardware and Classic Aesthetics

Equipped with nickel hardware, the Epiphone Casino is both reliable and visually striking. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and traditional trapeze tailpiece ensure excellent tuning stability and intonation, while the vintage-style Epiphone tuning machines provide accurate and smooth tuning adjustments. The 3-ply white/black/white pickguard, adorned with the metal "E" logo, completes the guitar's classic look, making it a true standout on any stage.

Versatile Electronics for Any Musical Style

The Casino's electronics are designed to deliver a wide range of tones, with Dogear P-90T Classic pickups in both the neck and bridge positions. These pickups are known for their distinctive, gritty sound that can easily transition from warm, mellow tones to aggressive, overdriven leads. The guitar features two volume and two tone controls, along with a 3-way Epiphone toggle switch, allowing you to dial in the perfect sound for any musical situation.
