Up for sale, a 1993 Epiphone Casino in showroom-clean, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced at the Terada factory in Japan, this is an early Epiphone reissue which preceded the “Elitist” line, featuring a pair of “dogear” P-90 pickups and a gloss Vintage Sunburst finish.
Acoustically, the fully hollow maple body has a smooth, bright tone with great articulation, faithfully captured by the original P-90 pickups. The pickups are wound to vintage spec with plenty of midrange bark, and a glassy, percussive quality. Offering a refinement far beyond most other modern Casino reissues, these pickups are sensitive to picking dynamics with an overarching sweetness and sparkling cut, equally suited to detailed cleans and rich overdrive. Lightweight at 6lbs 10oz, 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 .795” 1st fret, .915” 12th fret

The gloss Sunburst finish is extremely clean, framed by ambered binding, with just a few faint finish scratches. The gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
