Epiphone Casino
The essential rock 'n' roll hollow body! The Epiphone Casino is an instrument heralded in music law thanks to the players that wielded them; The Beatles loved their Casinos using them throughout their career and into their respected solo careers. Built in the USA in the 60's these guitars were essentially budget Gibson ES-330 with slight differences.
Very few Epiphone Casinos were built in Japan and these were only sold domestically; never exported. Our Casino was built at the fabled Terada factory which builds guitars for Gretsch.
The factory Bigsby equipped variant of the MIJ Casino is a rare beast indeed, we personally love it! It suits it so well and adds a great deal of versatility to the Casino as a instrument!
