In 1965, a member of an obscure band known as “The Beatles” – Paul McCartney – began using one for studio work – and John Lennon and George Harrison got theirs in 1966. The Casino was very important in the Epiphone line during the 1960’s, and was introduced to compete with the Gibson ES-330. Plays very well right out of the box and can easily be set up to meet your needs. Two P-90 type pickups with chrome covers (this helps shield the pickups), selector switch, individual volume and tone controls, sealed Kluson-type tuners with chrome buttons. Gloss Tobacco sunburst finish as found on early 1960’s Epiphone Casinos. Maple laminate body with longitudinal tone bars and soundpost bracing. 22 medium frets they go over the binding to the edge of the fingerboard.
