zZounds Gear Experts Say...

Strum away with this fat-body Casino guitar from Epiphone. Made with a 5-layer laminated maple and birch body with a mahogany neck.

Overview

With a Limited Run of 1,961 guitars, the Epiphone 50th Anniversary Casino is gonna be off the shelves in no time. Based off the Original Casino from 1961 the original Casino had unique features that ultimately were never offered beyond that first year. Including the pre-Gibson era triangle metal logo badge on the headstock, Dot fingerboard inlays, a blank two-ply Bullet truss rod cover.

Epiphone has faithfully reproduced these features for a one-of-a-kind retro look not found on Casinos produced after 1961. Other attention to detail includes the correct burst patterns on front and back, a neck joint at the 16th fret (instead of the 17th), Wilkinson vintage-style tuners with small plastic buttons, and the historically accurate rectangle blue label inside the sound hole.

Quality Construction, Hardware and Add-ons

Unlike an ES-335, the Casino is completely hollow which contributes to its unique, signature sound made most famous by the Beatles. The body is made of 5-layer Maple/Birch with a solid Mahogany SlimTaper neck attached using the traditional mortise and tenon neck joint hand-fitted and glued to the body using TiteBond glue. Hardware includes a tune-o-matic bridge and your choice of either a Trapeze tailpiece or Epiphone's reissue of the original Tremotone vibrato.

Each 1961 Epiphone Casino features an original-style hard case with gray exterior and blue plush interior and a numbered certificate of authenticity.
