I have always been enamored by the Epiphone Casino electric guitar. It is a model inspired by John Lennon’s 1965 Casino electric guitar that he played on many Beatles recording sessions and at one time or another all of the Beatles – bar Ringo – played an Epiphone Casino electric guitar.
The Epiphone Casino guitar has Tribute P-90 pickups, double-cutaway hollowbody, parallelogram fingerboard inlays, vintage tuners with small buttons, and a trapeze tailpiece.

Epiphone Casino Electric Guitar
Though I have tried quite a variety of guitars, this Epiphone Casino electric guitar remains a favorite. Maybe its the impact it has had on pop music or just the fact it is so damned comfortable to play. Being completely hollow it is very light compared to many electric guitars – this has a residual benefit in that you don’t have a heavy weight hanging off your shoulders and pulling your posture out of shape.
Tension in the shoulder and upper back can lead to tendinitis in the elbow joints of part-time guitarists, which can reduce practice time and affect your rhythm as well. Lighter guitars can keep your posture in tune along with your guitar, and the Epiphone Casino guitar is sure light enough not to cause any such problems.
Extra features are the one-piece mahogany neck with 14 degree grain orientation, the old style “dog-eared” P-90 pickup covers with unique pole spacing and oversize original-style headstock.
The Casino is a 24.75 inch scale guitar which I find has an incredibly natural feel to play. The Casino electric guitars is available in Natural, Vintage Sunburst, and Cherry finishes.
The Epiphone Casino electric guitar is the absolute hollow body thin line with the short neck in contrast to the Gibson ES-335 “semi-hollowbody” – so you can expect some feedback if you are standing too close to your amp.
Recognized as one of the most admired electric guitars in the history of Rock and roll, the Epiphone Casino electric guitar is a true masterpiece.
This Casino electric guitar is all about delivering tone – not the type you dial up via a computer chip laden foot pedal – but intense, honest, jangling 60′s tone backed with a meaty growl. P90′s are an awesome pickup and this guitar would suit rock’n'roll, blues players, pop and rock players.
