Up for sale, a 2003 Epiphone Casino in exceptional, 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 projection and warmth of the hollow construction. The P-90 pickups are wound to vintage spec, offering glassy detail, midrange bark, and clear percussive cut. The guitar is featherweight at 5lbs 12oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 roundwound strings, low action and accurate intonation.

The Vintage Sunburst finish is dark and glossy, and cosmetic wear is limited to light buckle worming and a couple dings on the back, as well as a few faint finish scratches in the clear coat on the body as a whole. The smooth gloss on the neck profile is immaculate save for a few marks on the bass-side shoulder at fret 9 that are imperceptible to the palm.
The original black tolex hardshell case is included.
