A near immaculate example of the gorgeous and timeless Epiphone Casino Hollowbody Electric Guitar in Natural.
The Casino is an original Epiphone guitar design 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. In the decades since, the Casino has remained Epiphone's best-selling archtop electric guitar, with a host of modern masters using the model's signature sound to great effect — including Noel Gallagher and The Edge (U2).
Maintaining the classic design elements that make the Casino a rock n' roll legend — namely a large hollowbody construction, an elegant trapeze tailpiece and a punchy P-90 pickup pairing — the Epiphone Casino promises a scintillating sound with superb playability to boot!
