1993 Epiphone Casino Sunburst Pre-Elitist w/ Bigsby, Japan Terada
Our users rate Reverb
Up for sale, a 1993 Epiphone Casino in showroom-clean, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced at the Terada factory in Japan, this is an early Epiphone reissue which preceded the "Elitist" line, boasting a factory-installed Bigsby B7 (USA-made) vibrato.
Acoustically, the fully hollow thinline maple body has a smooth, bright tone with great articulation, faithfully captured by the original 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 other 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. Lightweight at 6lbs 6oz, this Casino has been professionally set up here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
