Up for sale, a 2001 Epiphone Casino in near-mint, 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.
Notable for its full 1 11/16" nut width (a feature surprisingly uncommon on many Casino reissues), 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. For dynamic cleans or thick overdrive, these pickups can produce either with ease. Featherweight at 5lbs 13oz, this Casino has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Natural finish highlights tight flame figuring in the maple on top, and there are just a few faint marks in the clear coat on the body as a whole. The neck profile gloss has only a couple tiny marks along the shoulders behind frets 2-5 and virtually undetectable to the palm.
The original black tolex hardshell case is included.
