Overview
Epiphone is proud to present the debut of GRAMMY winner Gary Clark Jr's premier signature model, the Epiphone Gary Clark Jr. "Blak & Blu" Casino, available with either a traditional trapeze tailpiece or the legendary Bigsby Vibrato B70 Vibrato.
Gary Clark Jr. is one of the most exciting performers of our generation with a totally original style that fuses rock, pop, acoustic and electric blues styles, and rhythm & blues into a sound all his own that has made him a living legend to both music fans and musicians. Gary Clark Jr. is everywhere--on tour with the Rolling Stones and on stage with Eric Clapton or at the White House. But no matter where he's playing, he's never seen without his favorite guitar, an Epiphone Casino. Now, Clark has joined with Epiphone to commemorate his debut major label album, Blak & Blu, with a classic Casino design featuring Gibson USA P-90 pickups in a one of a kind Blak & Blu Burst color finish.
Clark's new Signature "Blak & Blu" Casino is a Laminated Maple, 5-ply (Maple/Birch) hollowbody, the source of the Casino's legendary chimey tones and easily controllable gritty feedback. The body is finished in Clark's custom new "Blak & Blu" Burst color finish with single-ply white binding around the top and back. The Mahogany neck has 22 medium jumbo frets and a 1960's SlimTaper D Profile that's inspired by the best vintage Casino's in Epiphone's collection. Like vintage models, the neck joint is glued to the body at the 16th fret.
The scale length is… read more a standard 24.75" with a Rosewood fingerboard with pearloid "Parallelogram" inlays. The smooth fingerboard has single-ply white binding and a 14" radius. The sloped dovetail headstock, seen on virtually all Epiphone archtops since the early 60s, has a 2-ply (White/Black) "Bell" shaped truss rod cover with a vintage "E" in white and 1.68" nut. Though the Casino is a hollowbody, it's perfectly balanced in size and sound. It's easy to summon your own brand of dynamics on any size stage and at any volume.
Clark's new Epiphone "Blak & Blue" Casino features the same legendary Gibson P-90 pickups, wound with the same attention to detail as the handmade originals with a P-90R in the rhythm position and a P-90T in the lead. Both "Blak & Blue" P-90s pickups are powered by standard Casino controls for volume and tone with a high quality Swithcraft 3-way toggle with a white cap and black washer. Like all Epiphone instruments, the Casino's electronics come with Epiphone's Limited Lifetime Guarantee for smooth and reliable use night after night.

Plays well. Sounds great. Has great tones through a fender blues jr. Bigsby is a must. Even if you don't use it, it adds a lot of vavuum to the look! Get the right set up by your local guitar tech and it plays like butter. I like the casino neck. It's a nice break from my Epi Broadway I have. I use heavy flat wounds for the Broadway. Using medium or even better, light, nickel wounds on the casino lets me get a good funk rock feel. Not to mention a lot of fun solos. I'll be purchasing this badder than bad ax this Friday!
