Featuring Dogear PRO P-90 pickups and a 5-ply maple body. Shortly afterward, John Lennon and George Harrison bought Casinos for the Beatles' 1966 world tour. Howlin' Wolf took a Casino on his first tour of the UK, appearing on Thank Your Lucky Stars. The Casino was adopted by Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones who used a Casino to record the demo for 'Satisfaction' at Chess Records in Chicago.

First introduced in 1961, the Casino was just one of several new thin line archtops designed and produced at the company's adopted new factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan that it shared with one-time competitor and new partner, Gibson.

It only took two days to send it to Denmark.Since 1961, the legendary Casino ™ has been Epiphone's best-selling archtop and a rock 'n' roll standard. The service from Musik Produktiv was very good. This is the closest to a Gibson I can get and the Gibson is five times more expensive. I bought this because I can't afford a Gibson 330 and it is very rare in left-handed. It's fully hollow body so don't play it loud through a Marshall stack unless you want feedback. Good for early BB king, Grant Green, Chuck berry etc.Ĭons: This is not for you heavy metal guys. Pros: Very well made, stays in tune, light weight, easy to play, good for blues-jazz and old school rock and roll. Think of it more as an acoustic guitar as you won't be able to reach the higher frets. But then again it is not a Gibson but for the price you won't find a better 330 type guitar. You can almost achieve the tone of Grant Greens Gibson 330. I mostly play blues-jazz, and for that the guitar is so great. Sounds great through my Fender Deluxe Reverb amp. They are a little dull but for the price they're ok and you can eq the amp to get a good sound. The pickups is not Gibson or high end pickups and you can hear that. It is good for jazz and blues and Beatles fans etc. Great guitar for the money Blues player on
