Epiphone Casino
Overview
The Epiphone Casino is a fully hollow electric guitar with a storied history as the instrument of choice for John Lennon, Keith Richards, and countless blues and rock legends who prized its unique combination of acoustic resonance and electric versatility. The laminated maple hollow body produces a lively, airy tone with natural warmth and a distinctive woody character that no solid-body guitar can replicate " chords ring with a three-dimensional quality, and single notes bloom with smooth, singing sustain. Two Epiphone P-90 PRO single-coil pickups deliver the Casino's signature sound: raw, gritty, and full of harmonic complexity, with a midrange bark that is perfect for blues, classic rock, and British Invasion tones. The slim taper mahogany set neck provides comfortable access up the fingerboard, and the LockTone Tune-o-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece ensure solid intonation and reliable tuning stability. The Frequensator-style tailpiece on some models adds a vintage visual touch. Clean tones shimmer with the natural body resonance enhancing the pickups' output, while overdriven tones are thick and chewy with a raw edge that P-90 devotees love. This guitar is ideal for intermediate to professional players in blues, classic rock, jazz, and indie who want a hollow-body with genuine character and heritage. The fully hollow construction is prone to feedback at higher volumes, making it challenging in very loud, heavily amplified settings.
