Overview

Not a flat-top acoustic, the Casino is an archtop with a hollow maple body and Dogear PRO pickups. It has been in the Epiphone lineup since 1961, and a gig bag comes with it.

The listing leans on the Casino's history with famous players. The maple body and the pickups give a distinct sound, and the guitar is bulky and weighs more than a typical electric.

Who it's for

Rock and blues players who like vintage-style archtops get a ready guitar with a case included. Players sensitive to weight or feedback at high volume should look at a smaller or slimmer body.

Performance notes
