An Icon of Rock and Roll
From The Beatles and The Rolling Stones to today’s indie icons, the Epiphone Casino has a legendary resume for a reason. This isn’t just another ES-335 copy; it’s a true hollowbody archtop, and that makes all the difference. The fully hollow layered maple body gives it an acoustic resonance and airy quality that semi-hollows with a center block just can’t touch. Plugged in, that resonance translates to a three-dimensional tone that can go from a gentle chime to an aggressive bark with just your pick attack.
Raw and Ready P-90 Power
This Casino is loaded with a pair of Epiphone’s PRO P-90 pickups, a design that defined the sound of early rock and blues. These single-coils are famous for their signature blend of warmth, clarity, and raw power. The bridge pickup delivers all the grit and bite you need to cut through a mix, perfect for driving rhythm parts and searing solos. The neck pickup is warm, round, and glassy, ideal for soulful leads and complex chord voicings. In the middle position, you get that classic, jangly rhythm tone that’s powered countless hits.
Fast-Playing Vintage Feel
The Mahogany neck is carved into a SlimTaper 60s C profile, a comfortable and speedy shape that feels right at home from the first chord. Combined with a 12-inch radius Laurel fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets, this guitar is built for performance. The 16th fret neck joint provides excellent access to the upper frets while maintaining the guitar’s structural integrity and vintage character. It’s a neck that just invites you to play for hours on end.
