Iconic Casino Chime With Modern Reliability
If you have ever chased those bright, hollow British rock tones, you already know the silhouette of a Casino. This Epiphone Casino in Vintage Sunburst gives you that wide open hollowbody resonance, PRO P-90 bite, and stage-ready playability without needing a vintage budget or a vintage repair guy on speed dial.
Since the early 60s the Casino has been at the center of rock history, from Keith Richards cutting early Stones demos to John Lennon and George Harrison taking Casinos on the road. This one keeps that same recipe but with modern consistency, lighter weight, and a pro setup that is ready to hit the stage or studio the second you crack the case.
Legendary Hollowbody That Defined British Rock
The Casino has been Epiphone’s best-selling archtop since 1961 for a reason. The fully hollow thinline body gives you that airy acoustic bloom that solid bodies just do not have, and it reacts to your touch in a way that feels alive under your hands.
From Chess Records sessions to UK TV appearances like Thank Your Lucky Stars, the Casino has been there for the artists who shaped rock music. When you plug this one in you are tapping into that same lineage of chime, grit, and musical feedback in the best sense of the word.
Hollow Maple Body And Vintage Sunburst Vibe
The 5-ply layered maple body keeps things crisp and clear while still letting the low end stay woody and round. Being fully hollow keeps the weight down to around 6.6 pounds, so long rehearsals and three-set nights stay easy on your shoulder.
The Vintage Sunburst gloss finish and single-ply binding on the top, back, and neck give it that classic Kalamazoo-era look. It feels and sounds like a guitar that has seen some stages, but you get to be the one to write the first chapter in its story.
PRO P-90 Pickups: Chime, Grit, And Cut
The Epiphone PRO P-90 dogear pickups are the heart of this guitar. Clean, they give you glassy top end, detailed mids, and that almost acoustic quality you want from a good hollowbody. Push them with a little tube grit and they get chewy and vocal without turning to mush.
The neck pickup is warm and round for jazzier chords and soulful leads. The bridge has that wiry snarl that cuts through a dense mix without taking anyone’s head off. The middle position is where the magic happens for jangly rhythm and Beatles-inspired textures, and the 2-volume / 2-tone layout lets you blend and shape on the fly.
SlimTaper 60s Neck And Player-Friendly Feel
The mahogany neck with a SlimTaper 60s C profile feels instantly familiar if you like fast, comfortable necks that still have enough meat to dig into. It is slim without feeling flimsy, and it keeps your hand relaxed through long sets.
The laurel fingerboard, 12 inch radius, and 22 medium jumbo frets make bends smooth and chords clean all the way up the neck. The Graph Tech nut keeps tuning stable, and the Epiphone Vintage Deluxe tuners plus LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and diamond trapeze tailpiece round out a hardware package that feels solid and dependable.
