1996 Epiphone Casino Sunburst w/ Case, Peerless

$1,299.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 1996 Epiphone Casino in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Crafted at the Peerless factory in Korea, this uncommon and discontinued iteration of the Casino stacks up well against the Elitist line.

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 P-90 pickups are wound to vintage spec with plenty of midrange bark, delivering a glassy, percussive quality, easily delivering both dynamic cleans and thick overdrive. The guitar is featherweight at only 6lbs 1oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.
