Our Take:
1961 marks the birth year of Epiphone’s most successful archtop ever: the Casino, a thinline archtop that has achieved legendary status among rock ‘n’ rollers for its classy aesthetic and undeniable rock ‘n’ roll tones. The modern Epiphone Casino is a true-to-form reproduction of the original ’61 model that became so famous. The Casino totes a pair of Dogear P-90T Classic™ pickups for its electronics system, which perfectly compliment the resonance of the 5-ply Maple body with Basswood top bracing. A gorgeous finish tops off this classic instrument in style!
Epiphone’s Take:
Since 1961, the legendary Casino has been Epiphone’s best-selling archtop and a rock ‘n’ roll standard. First introduced in 1961, the Casino was just one of several new thinline archtops designed and produced at the company’s adopted new factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan that it shared with one-time competitor and new partner, Gibson. The Casino was first adopted by Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones who used a Casino to record the demo for “Satisfaction” at Chess Records in Chicago. Howlin’ Wolf took a Casino on his first tour of the UK, appearing on Thank Your Lucky Stars. Shortly afterwards, John Lennon and George Harrison bought Casinos for the Beatles 1966 world tour. Featuring Dogear P-90T Classic™ pickups and a 5-ply Maple body with Basswood top bracing.
