Up for sale, a 1986 Epiphone Casino in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Produced in Japan at the Matsumoku factory, this Casino is a rare and early Epiphone reissue produced decades before the “Elitist” line was introduced and notable for its full 1 11/16" nut width (a feature surprisingly uncommon on many Casino reissues).

This guitar's fully hollow all-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 7lbs 1oz, this Casino has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Sunburst finish highlights birdseye figuring in the maple, particularly dimensional on the back, and there are just a couple faint scratches on the body as a whole. The smooth gloss on the neck profile is flawless.

The original black tolex hardshell case is included.
