Up for sale, a 1991 Epiphone Casino in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. Produced in Japan at the Terada factory, this is an early Epiphone reissue which preceded the "Elitist" line, sporting a gloss Sunburst finish on the lightly figured maple body and a pair of dogear P-90 pickups.

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 5oz, this Casino has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Sunburst finish highlights subtle curly figuring in the maple, and cosmetic wear is limited to a few minor scuffs and small dings on the body as a whole. The smooth gloss on the neck profile is flawless save for one shallow nick on the bass-side shoulder at the 3rd fret.
