Since 1961, the legendary Casino has been Epiphone’s best-selling archtop and a rock ‘n’ roll standard. First introduced in 1961, the Casino was just one of several new thinline archtops designed and produced at the company’s adopted new factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan that it shared with one-time competitor and new partner, Gibson. The Casino was first adopted by Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones who used a Casino to record the demo for “Satisfaction” at Chess Records in Chicago. Howlin' Wolf took a Casino on his first tour of the UK, appearing on Thank Your Lucky Stars. Shortly afterwards, John Lennon and George Harrison bought Casinos for the Beatles 1966 world tour. Featuring Dogear P-90T Classic™ pickups and a 5-ply Maple body with Basswood top bracing. Available in Natural, Vintage Sunburst, and new Turquoise color finishes.

Bigsby was one of the most attractive ones, while it also provided supreme level of quality. Today, it remains in use and can be seen on vintage-styled guitars, such as Limited Edition Casino from Epiphone. It is paired with a tune-o-matic bridge in the front. Jan 20, 2014 It's all about the neck angle and the height of a bridge. On a Casino, there's not enough of a break angle from the bridge to where the strings come off the B3. It'll work but it's not ideal for tuning or resonance. The B7 has a tension bar which provides more of a break angle on a Casino. See Paul McCartney's Bigsby'd Casino as an example.

Like all Epiphone instruments, the Casino's electronics come with Epiphone's Limited Lifetime Guarantee for smooth and reliable use night after night.

P-90 Single Coil Pickup

Legendary Tone

First introduced in the early 1950s, Gibson's legendary P90 single coil pickup produced a raw powerful tone that helped define the blues and rock and roll in their formative years. Today, the P90's traditional combination of high output and brilliant tone is still considered a favorite among many top musicians. Known by such familiar nicknames as the 'Soapbar' and the 'Cobalt,' the P90 still cuts through any type of music, all while displaying amazing tonal sensitivity for everything from blues and rock to mellow jazz riffs. It's perfect as a vintage replacement, and features vintage, braided two-conductor wiring. It's also fully wax potted to eliminate any chance of unwanted microphonic feedback.
