Click to Enlarge Vintage Sunburst
The basis on which Gibson built their ES Series of guitars (some of the most lasting and important instruments in the development of Rock and Roll), the Epiphone Casino Archtop is truly a guitarist's guitar, rich in tradition, tone, and history. Two P90 pickups allow you to dial-in a huge range of tasty tones with one versatile axe. And at this price, it's the only Casino you can really ever count on to not break the bank.

Check out this zZounds exclusive video for more on the Casino:


Classic Construction, Classic Tone

The Epiphone Casino's combination of a laminated Spruce arched top and hollow Maple body offers the discerning tone junkie a veritable smorgasbord of complex tones, rich harmonics and pleasing overtones. Unlike the ES335 or other semi-hollow instruments of this shape, the Epiphone Casino is a fully hollow instrument. Though slightly more prone to high-gain feedback, an all-hollow guitar is offers richer resonance (true tone aficionados gladly make the tradeoff). The Epiphone Casino's set Mahogany neck and array of dual P-90 dog-ear pickups deliver everything from singing sustain to chimey rhythm jangle, all at the flip of a switch or the stomp of a box. The combination of a Rosewood fretboard with the rest of these carefully selected tone woods make the Epiphone Casino a wonderfully balanced instrument, both in sound and feel. The four top-mounted control knobs (volume and tone for each of the rhythm and lead pickups) allows for even further tweaking and tonal exploration, presenting a palette rich enough for even the most demanding six-string Centurion.

Like Shaking Hands with an Old Friend

Featuring the tried and true Gibson 24.75-inch scale length and 1.68-inch nut width, the Epiphone Casino immediately feels as comfortable as a your favorite pair of jeans or a perfectly broken-in pair of boots. The Casino's neck profile is at once substantial and quick, capable of digging in for some open position chording or slithering around for snakey runs, double-stops, and pull-offs. The bound fretboard edges only add to the Epiphone Casino's comfort, especially for all of you thumb over the top players out there.

Finishes Fit for A Prince

Available in 3 striking paint jobs and finishes (Cherry, Vintage Sunburst, and Natural), the Epiphone Casino has enough looks to keep up with whatever amount of costume changes you happen to throw into your set. Alternately, you can take the John Lennon approach by pulling off the pickguard and sanding off the finish down to the bare wood... heck, if it helps you write a song half as good as one of his, it would be well worth the effort. Tasteful appointments on the Epiphone Casino Archtop include a classic trapeze style bridge tailpiece, bound rosewood fretboard with handsome parallelogram inlays, bound body, chrome hardware, and oversized "open book" Epiphone headstock. The Casino Archtop is not an instrument that screams garish pomp; instead, it gently exudes a sense of refined class and taste. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Epiphone products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (194 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "GET IT"
Sound: The sound of the Casino is incredible. From playing clean in all pick up configurations or running it through various stomp boxes, the guitar has a unique voice. The sound is applicable to a variety of genres. If you're looking for a heavy sound, there are other options available, but if you want a great blues , classic rock or jazz sound, this guitar is for you. Feature: The case that came with it is of the same top quality as the guitar. Nice poster, too. Ease of Use: Getting good tone from this guitar is simple. The P 90's go from a deep warm neck pick up sound to a jangly bridge or in between. Turn up the gain and volume and you get a nice growl. I've played it for 2 weeks straight and am still finding new, great tones. One might think this is a big guitar and would be uncomfortable to play. Just the opposite. Very light, so it is comfortable standing and its contour makes sitting the same. Quality: Product is very well made. Mine is the Vintage Sunburst and the finish is fantastic. Even the sides of the guitar follow the sunburst scheme. It's not a solid brown-black as would normally be found with this finish. Beautiful. Came perfectly set-up out of the box and holds tune like my double locking tremelo guitar. Pots are clean and fairly responsive as is the pick up selector. Value: More than worth the price I paid. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to deal with them, so to me the support is great. With the quality of this product, I'm sure that if I had to deal with them Id receive the same quality. The Wow Factor: If you like a thin waist and an ample bottom, this is very sexy. Overall: I expect to use this for the length of it's lifetime. If anything happened to it, I would certainly replace it. Wish I bought it a long time ago.
Style of Music: Classic rock, blues, metal

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Quality and Service"
Sound: I have a ES335 and two base Casino's and the sounds are worlds apart. One not better than the other. Just different. I have a Sunburst Casino neck joined at the 17th and a Natural Joined at the 16th fret. There is a slight sound/sustain difference. The sound of my Casinos is hard to describe. It is very warm when played clean as well as a warm raunchy sound when distorted. You can get many sounds out of this guitar compared to say a Les Paul, SG or 335. That's the good part of a Casino. You will notice the bridge pickup is a bit lower in volume compared to the neck pickup. This is due to the strings being further away at the bridge. You can either shimmy the bridge pick up higher (alot of work) , or just adjust your volume controls to equal it out. Feedback? Yes, Controllable. Yes. It should be noted that P90s hum/buzz. I suggest staying far away from PC Monitors and Florescent lighting. I notice they create more of a buzz which can be a pain when gain is added. Feature: Neck at 16th fret, P90's (Alnico V) standard 3 way toggle, and 2 volume and tone pots. Ease of Use: Ok. Out of the box, it's set up pretty well. Care has been given to ensure you receive a good product. Yet, with any guitar out of the box and I mean any, you need to set it up to your liking and do some minor maintenance. I put on new strings, lowered the bridge and cleaned the fret board of polish that was used at the factory or your fingers will get black for a while. I also oiled the fret board. That's it. The neck is a bit wider than a 335 or Elitist Casino. This is a preference issue, however, I like the fatter neck. Action can be adjusted low without string buzzing. It's a light guitar and very easy to go up and down the neck. Quality: Don't believe the hype about Korea or Japan Casinos are better than China. As quality build is concerned, I would put this Guitar up against a Korean, Japan, and USA Guitar. Yes, your electronics will be better in a USA model. But that you can up grade on a China Casino if you wish and have all the features and quality of a USA model at 1/3 the price. Though the output on the stock P90's are great. Value: At under $600 with this type of detailed workmanship, this is a steal. If this Guitar was made in the USA, it would be over a grand. Manufacturer Support: I don't use the support. Epi's I have are not trouble. Thought I did call Epi one day to inquire about the New Casino's and I got right through to a Customer Service Rep with ease. The Wow Factor: Playing it alone is like....WOW. Overall: Before I rate this guitar, two things. 1. The necks of the new base Epiphone Casino's are joined to the body at the 16th fret. Not the 17th as photos show. I think this started in 2011. It would be nice that sites start updating their photos. 2. I ordered the Guitar on 4/10 and received it on 4/11. Normal ground shipping. Ok, I live in NYC and this appeared to come from NJ. However, that was fast service. Thank you zZounds.
