Epiphone Casino – A legendary archtop reimagined for today
The Epiphone Casino has been an icon of rock ’n’ roll since its debut in 1961, earning its status as the brand’s best-selling archtop. With its warm tone, undeniable style, and unmatched versatility, it became a favorite of legends like John Lennon, George Harrison, Keith Richards, and Howlin' Wolf. Today, the Casino continues to deliver the same raw character and punchy tone that defined a generation—now updated with refined craftsmanship and dependable modern hardware.
At the heart of the Casino’s unmistakable tone are dual Dogear Epiphone PRO P-90 pickups, delivering the classic midrange grit and open-air clarity that only true P-90s can offer. The 5-ply layered maple body resonates beautifully, while the SlimTaper 60s C-profile mahogany neck and Laurel fingerboard ensure comfortable playability from the first fret to the last.
The Casino’s fully hollow construction and Diamond Trapeze tailpiece give it a lively, resonant acoustic character, while the LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge provides modern tuning stability and intonation. Nickel hardware, vintage-style knobs, and a classic 3-ply pickguard round out this timeless instrument.
Whether you’re after Beatles-inspired jangle, raw blues bite, or soulful rock tones, the Epiphone Casino is a proven performer with vintage roots and modern reliability.
