Now, that still means that these are stock from Epiphone and I vastly prefer that a guitar come with a brand pickup, like a set of Seymour Duncans or EMGs. In the decades since, the Casino has remained Epiphones best-selling archtop electric guitar, with a host.
Made with a select maple body and top with f-holes, trapeze tailpiece, mahogany neck (24-3/4' scale), neck and body binding, two volume and two tone controls, and parallelogram inlays. The pickups on this guitar are sort of like Epiphone’s re-creation of the Classic plus pickups built by Gibson. The Casino is an original Epiphone guitar with class and style in abundance First appearing in 1961, the instrument was initially popularised by the likes of Keith Richards (The Rolling Stones), The Beatles and blues legend Howlin Wolf. Equipped with two vintage P-90 single-coil pickups, the Casino still delivers those Beatlesque tones at a price every player can afford. The Epiphone Casino is a hollow-body, ‘thin-line’ archtop electric guitar that has a natural finish.
Ever since The Beatles purchased three Casinos back in 1964, this hollow Epi model has taken on a life of its own. By Music Critic Staff, Edited By Dave McKinnon. The Epiphone Casino Electric Guitar is the guitar that put Epiphone on the map.
