About this listing
Up for sale, a 1991 Epiphone Casino in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced in Japan at the Terada factory, this is an early Epiphone reissue which preceded the "Elitist" line. Acoustically, the fully hollow thinline body has a smooth, bright tone with great articulation, qualities captured by the P-90 pickups. The pickups are wound to vintage spec with plenty of midrange bark, and a glassy, percussive quality. Offering a refinement far beyond most modern Casino reissues, these pickups are sensitive to picking dynamics with an overarching sweetness and sparkling cut, equally suited to detailed cleans and rich overdrive. Featherweight at 6lbs 12oz, this Casino has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.Neck Specs:Wood: MapleShape: Slender C, measuring .770” 1st fret, .870” 12th fretFretboard: Rosewood, parallelogram inlayFrets: Medium jumbo, no wearScale Length: 24 3/4”Nut: 1 9/16” boneTuners: Kluson-styleBody Specs:Wood: MaplePickups: P-90 x2Harness: Volume x2, Tone x2, three-way pickup selectorHardware: ABR-1 bridge, trapeze tailpiecePlastics: Reflector cap knobs, three-ply pickguard with “E” Epsilon badgeSerialization: Orange oval label dates to ‘91The gloss Sunburst finish highlights very subtle bubble figuring in the maple, and cosmetic wear is limited to a small area of shallow buckle rash on the back at the bass-side waist and just a couple additional tiny marks on the body.
