Epiphone USA Casino, Royal Tan Overview
The Epiphone USA Casino is a guitar of esteemed elegance and class. The instrument which launched the British invasion and famously played by the likes of John Lennon and Keith Richards is back in its original glory, and completely made in the USA. Featuring chiming, clear, and powerful Gibson P90 dogear style pickups and a sweetly resonant maple/poplar/maple hollowbody, you have a vast range of sonics at your command, with every harmonic detail clearly defined.
It's not just the sounds which are versatile though, because a slim, rounded 'C ' profile neck and 12" radius rosewood fretboard encourage virtually any playing style imaginable. From super-fast high scale licks to complex jazzy chords, it's all a breeze on this sublime surface. That's complemented by the vintage nitro finish on the body and neck for a correct retro vibe, and a classic ABR-1 bridge and thinline trapeze tailpiece hardware to ensure a stable and consistent performance. Relive the glory days of rock 'n' roll with the gorgeous Epiphone USA Casino.
