Up for sale, a 1990 Epiphone Casino in excellent, 100% original condition, complete with the original hardshell case. Produced in Japan at the Terada factory, this is an early Epiphone reissue which preceded the "Elitist" line, sporting a gloss Sunburst finish on the lightly figured maple body and a pair of dogear P-90 pickups.
Weighing 6lbs 7oz, this Casino’s fully-hollow thinline body has a smooth, bright tone with great articulation, qualities captured accurately by the P-90 pickups. Wound to vintage spec with plenty of midrange bark, these pickups have a glassy, percussive quality, with a refinement beyond most modern Casino reissues. Sensitive to picking dynamics with an overarching sweetness and sparkling cut, they’re equally suited to detailed cleans and rich overdrive. This Casino benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
