Up for sale, a 2001 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.
Acoustically, the 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. Whether you seek dynamic cleans or thick overdrive, these pickups can produce either with ease and with a refinement beyond most other modern Casino reissues. The guitar is featherweight at only 5lbs 13oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar and dialed in for optimal action and intonation with 10-46 roundwound strings.
The mahogany neck has a slender, fast-feeling C-shaped profile carve with moderate shoulder, measuring .800" deep at the 1st fret and .850" at the 12th. The bound rosewood fretboard features pearloid parallelogram inlay and practically perfect original medium jumbo frets that show just a hint of wear beneath the plain strings on the crowns of frets 1-3. The frets retain their full factory height with well-rounded crowns, playing cleanly in every register up the 24 3/4" scale with a straight neck and responsive, optimally adjusted truss rod. The carved bone nut measures a full 1 11/16" in width, and the headstock retains the original Kluson-style tuners which turn smoothly and hold pitch well.
The electronics are untouched, and the chrome plated hardware is positively gleaming, including an ABR-1 bridge and trapeze tailpiece. Plastics comprise the quartet of gold reflector cap knobs and elevated multi-ply pickguard with raised "E" epsilon which shows a bit of light pick scuffing. The orange oval label is visible through the F hole, dating the instrument's production to 2001. The Natural gloss finish shows one small patch of light buckle rash central to the lower bout on the back, along with just a few additional faint marks on the body as a whole and one tiny finish chip on the bass-side headstock edge. The gloss finish on the neck profile is clean and smooth.
This Epiphone Casino is professionally setup, and a rare, discontinued iteration made at the Peerless factory to exacting standards.
The original black tolex hardshell case with the gold silkscreen "E" on the lid is included.
