Up for sale, a 1980 Epiphone Casino in near-mint condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. Produced in Japan at the Matsumoku factory, this Casino is an uncommon and notably early Epiphone reissue produced decades before the “Elitist” line was introduced.
This guitar's fully hollow thinline maple body has an articulate and airy tone, capturing both the clear note attack of maple as a tonewood and the warmth of the hollow construction. The Maxon-made P-90 pickups deliver plenty of midrange bark, with a glassy, percussive quality and broad low end growl. Lightweight at 6lbs 11oz, this Casino has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

-Wood: Maple (three-piece)
-Shape: Slender C, measuring .815” 1st fret, 1.005” 12th fret

The gloss Sunburst finish highlights subtle curly and birdseye figuring in the maple, with just a few tiny nicks and finish scratches. The gloss on the neck profile shows no wear.
A hardshell case is included.
