Up for sale, a 2013 Epiphone Elitist 1965 Casino in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and owner’s manual. This now discontinued upscale model was produced in Japan at the Terada factory, loaded with Gibson USA P-90 pickups.
Lightweight at 6lbs, the thinline fully hollow maple body has an acoustic tone that’s both articulate and smooth, with a lively, woody cut. The Gibson P-90 pickups are wound to vintage spec with plenty of midrange bark and a glassy, percussive quality. Highly responsive to picking dynamics, this Casino excels at detailed cleans and overdriven bark, offering a very faithful analog for genuine 1960s examples. This Elitist 1965 Casino benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
