Up for sale, a 1990 Epiphone Casino in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced in Japan at the Terada factory, this is an early Epiphone reissue which preceded the “Elitist” line, sporting an ambered gloss Natural finish and a pair of dogear P-90 pickups.
Acoustically, the fully hollow maple body has a smooth, bright tone, offering an ideal platform for the P-90s. The pickups are wound to vintage spec with plenty of midrange bark, and a glassy, percussive quality. Offering a refinement far beyond most other modern Casino reissues, these pickups are sensitive to picking dynamics with an overarching sweetness and sparkling cut, equally suited to articulate cleans and rich overdrive. Featherweight at 6lbs 6oz, this Casino has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mikes Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
