Since its creation in 1961, Epiphone's Casino has been a top-selling archtop guitar, solidifying its place as a staple in the rock 'n' roll industry. This iconic instrument was initially introduced alongside other new thinline archtops at the company's newly adopted factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where it was produced in partnership with Gibson.
The Casino gained further recognition when it was used by Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones to record the demo for "Satisfaction" at Chess Records in Chicago. It also gained popularity when Howlin' Wolf brought a Casino on his first tour of the UK and appeared on "Thank Your Lucky Stars." Following suit, John Lennon and George Harrison of The Beatles each purchased a Casino for their 1966 world tour.
Boasting Dogear PRO P-90 pickups and a 5-ply maple body, the Casino continues to be a go-to choice for musicians seeking a timeless sound and unparalleled quality.
This guitar comes fully set up by our senior technician, a service we normally value at $75, ensuring optimal playability right out of the box.
