Up for sale, a 1999 Epiphone Casino in near-mint 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, featuring a gloss Vintage Cherry Sunburst finish.
Notable for its full 1 11/16" nut width (a feature surprisingly uncommon on many Casino reissues), this guitar's all-maple body captures both the clear note attack of maple as a tonewood and the warmth of the thinline hollow construction. The P-90 pickups are wound to vintage spec with plenty of midrange bark, delivering a glassy, percussive quality. Whether you seek dynamic cleans or thick overdrive, these pickups can produce either with ease. Featherweight at 5lbs 11oz, this Casino has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Mahogany
-Shape: Medium C, measuring .830” 1st fret, .895” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Rosewood, pearloid parallelogram inlay
-Frets: Medium jumbo, faint wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-5
-Scale Length: 24 3/4”
-Nut: 1 11/16”, bone (replacement)
-Tuners: Kluson-style
Body Specs:
-Wood: Maple
-Pickups: P-90 x2
-Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, Three-way pickup selector
-Hardware: ABR-1 bridge, trapeze tailpiece, “dogear” pickup covers
-Plastics: Gold reflector cap knobs
-Serialization: R99-prefix (1999), oval label
The gloss Vintage Cherry Sunburst is rich and bold, highlighting the particularly dynamic grain of the maple and subtle curly figuring. There are just a few minor dings on the top and back at the lower bout, while gloss on the neck profile is flawless, with some subtle cloudiness in the clear coat on the headstock face.
The original hardshell case is included.
