In Excellent Condition with the Original Epiphone Gigbag, this is about as close as you can get to a new guitar. The only signs of use come in the form of slight polish scratches on the front of the headstock. This Casino was supplied to Cody's Guitars by the original owner. No signs of modification or repairs. A full break down of parts to ensure function and originality has been carried out.
A full in-house set-up has been carried out on the instrument, which included a fret dress. Usually we set guitars up with factory spec strings, however, with a Casino, you get a lot more by going up a gauge to 11-49.
Description
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 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 afterward, John Lennon and George Harrison bought Casinos for the Beatles' 1966 world tour. Featuring Dogear PRO P-90 pickups and a 5-ply maple body. Available in Natural and Vintage Sunburst.
