A visual knockout with vintage tone and lots of class.
The Epiphone Casino Electric Guitar is the guitar that put Epiphone on the map. Ever since The Beatles purchased three Casinos back in 1964, this hollow Epi model has taken on a life of its own. Equipped with two vintage P-90 single-coil pickups, the Casino still delivers those Beatlesque tones at a price every player can afford. Made with a select maple body and top with f-holes, trapeze tailpiece, mahogany neck (24-3/4" scale), neck and body binding, two volume and two tone controls, and parallelogram inlays. Limited lifetime warranty.
Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options.

This is an amazing instrument. I am amazed with the sounds you can get from it, from heavy blues to bright acoustic sounding alt pop/rock ( jazz too). The body feels large at first ( for an electric) but the sounds you can get from it more then make up for it. It's also dead sexy. It is my first hollow body and I am loving it. One of the first guitars I've owned that I was in love with from day one.
All the feature you would expect from a classic model like this. Pretty straight forward equipment for the price range, still feels like a great value though.
Mine is a Chinese made 2011 model in natural finish. It has a good fit and finish, it seems to be as well built and solid as any of the similar Gibson models I have been around. Even the set up on the one I received was excellent and was great to play out of the box.
Seems an excellent value for the money. Great feel to it, good looks, comfortable neck, solid feel to all the controls. The tuners seem good so far, and I am happy with this level of P-90 pick-ups.

I bought a Korean Casino and found that it rattled. The electronics were so bad that I could never get any kind of cool sound from the instrument. I sent it back and got another that didn't rattle especially, but the pick-ups were the same low quality. It had no sound. Everyone said they didn't like it. I thought it was so pretty that I didn't want to get rid of it, so I had the pick-ups replaced with custom-built P-90s and people said it was doing what it was supposed to do, but by then I was sick of my Casino and I shelved it and bought a Variax, which at least I know has some sound. I wouldn't get one of these Casinos. I've tried those cheap Artcores and they smoke compared to the Korean Casino. A pretty as it was, the Casino was a bust for me. Its pick-ups were like two microphones or something.

Comments about Epiphone Casino Electric Guitar:
Not a good guitar at all... Feedsback at high volume with even lower gain so forget using it at rehearsals or gigging... as for the sound it is very muddy and does not cut through in a band mix which is surprising for a p-90 guitar, my older korean Epi Tobacco Burst Dot sounds clearer and better overall and you can actually reach the 17th fret and up ! this guitar you can just barely reach the 17th fret and thats it.
If you are a jazz player or low low gain blues player this may suit you so don't take my word fo the guitar but always try before you buy!

Comments about Epiphone Casino Electric Guitar:
Right off the bat, this guitar looks sexy as all get out. Looks aside, the feel of the guitar is amazing; the playability is out of this world. No wonder The Beatles played this guitar! From thick and dark tones on the neck pick up to bright powerful tones on the bridge, this guitar is capable of producing any sound you want. The high-output P-90 pickups make this guitar as versatile as any I've played in the past. If you pass it up, you'll only be kicking yourself later.

Comments about Epiphone Casino Electric Guitar:
Waited a long time to replace my road guitar.(ES-330)
Since I gave up full time, it was hard to justify ~$2500 for another.
The Casino is every bit as good, construction is the same, The sound is the same after a little break in.
P-90s are a little low output, but they were before too. Don't blame the tool for behaving the way it was designed. Humbuckers are wound to be louder, adjust.
My heart sings every time I open the case.

Comments about Epiphone Casino Electric Guitar:
I would recomend this guitar to anyone wanting great quality and value for the small amount spent.
I got mine from MF as a gently used piece I could not find a mark on it. Very pleased.
Just got my Epiphone Casino this is beautiful guitar, Humbucker pickups sound great, pearl inlay on head and neck look very nice, gold colored knobs look very expensive. Great value for money.
Beautiful Cherry finish, very shinny fit anf finish very good,The E applique on the pick guard came unstuck I took it off. Didn't like it anyway.
for the money spent could not get better a guitar.
Comments about Epiphone Casino Electric Guitar:
I had this guitar several years ago. Somedays I wish that I still had it (it looked beautiful and felt like butter). I played this guitar live and have recorded with it. It was solid and never let me down. My only beef with it (and main reason I sold it) was that the pickups were really weak (no matter how much I tweaked the amp or guitar). I had to use my EQ pedal to get this thing to reach its potential. For that reason, I would say that it is mainly a rhythm guitar and is not really meant for leads. You will either have to swap out pickups or use your EQ pedal for this guitar to reach its potential.
Comments about Epiphone Casino Electric Guitar:
This guitar is a great instrument. I've always been a die hard Gibson player and very hesitant about epi's but after playing this I am a firm believer in epiphone hollowbodies (and i bought it of course). It's tone is indistinguishable from the es 330 for fraction of the price! On an overdriven amp it shines; Clear highs, crisp resonant lows, and looks sweet too! I love this guitar and will not be letting it go any time soon. Do yourself a favor and get it.

9
This guitar plays great and with a TS9 Tube screamer with the drive control at a minimum. This guitar plays fat tones that are great for blues/jazz crossover ala Robben Ford; round on the neck pickup and stinging on the bridge. Clean, it jangles nice with the pickup switch in the center position and nice mellow tone in the neck position. This guitar is the best value in my arsenal and it is light as a feather. I wouldn't trade it for my vintage Les Paul, but it does things my LP can't and is easier on the back.
The only reason that I give it an 8 instead of something higher is because when the ordered guitar arrived, the tone control was loose and flopping all over the place. The guitar tech at the shop I bought it fixed it pronto. But there was a manufacturer's tag saying that it had been inspected and I question how well or if they really did a final inspection.
For the money, this guitar is a killer deal.
