Up for sale, a 1983 Epiphone Casino in near-mint condition and in perfect working order. Produced in Japan at the Matsumoku factory, this Casino is an uncommon and early Epiphone reissue produced decades before the “Elitist” line was introduced and notable for its full 1 11/16" nut width (a surprisingly uncommon feature on many Casino reissues).
Lightweight at 6lbs 5oz, the 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. This Casino benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Maple (3pc)
-Shape: Slender C, measuring .805” 1st fret, .995” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Rosewood, parallelogram inlays
-Frets: Medium jumbo, faint wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-9
-Scale Length: 24 3/4"
-Nut Width: 1 11/16”, bone (replacement)
-Tuners: “E” Epsilon-stamped, chrome-plated
-Serialization: 3-prefix (1983)
-Factory Markings: “Epiphone Authorized Instrument / Nihon Gibson” sticker on peghead
Body Specs:
-Wood: Maple
-Pickups: Maxon P-90 x2
-Electronics: Volume x2, Tone x2, three-way pickup selector
-Hardware: ABR-1 bridge, trapeze tailpiece
-Plastics: Gold reflector cap knobs (one replacement)

Cosmetic wear on the gloss Natural finish is limited to minor dings on the back and on the lower bout, while the gloss on the neck profile is smooth and clean.
A vintage faux leather gigbag is included.
