Epiphone ETCAVSCH1 Casino Archtop Hollowbody Electric Guitar - Vintage Sunburst

Casino

Undoubtedly, one of Epiphone's greatest contributions to music, the Casino is famous for its sparkling sound heard on some of the most revered records in history, and is still in high demand today. Its secret is its thin-line full-hollow construction, twin P-90 pickups and streamlined neck.

Incredible hollowbody tone

With its maple back, top, and sides, the Casino is primed for any style of music. From blues to jazz to rock and beyond, the maple body offers tones that are bright and snappy, but not harsh. Pair that with the set mahogany neck and pau ferro fingerboard — which bring a touch of thickness and warmth to the tone — and you've got a well-balanced instrument for any genre.

SlimTaper D-profile set neck for smooth playability

The 1960s-style SlimTaper "D" neck profile is designed for fast and smooth playability. Thinner than the necks Epiphone was making in the '50s, this neck profile stays out of the way for fast leads while still being comfortable for rhythm playing. These are just a couple of reasons that the SlimTaper neck is still a favorite with many guitarists.
