​Epiphone Casino – Tastefully Upgraded w/ Boutique Vintage Vibe P90s (Pete Biltoft) & Bigsby B7

This is a rare opportunity to own an Epiphone Casino that has been meticulously transformed into a professional-grade, "forever" instrument. While the Casino is a legendary platform, this specific guitar has been elevated with premium, boutique components that are becoming increasingly difficult to source.

​The Heart: Boutique Vintage Vibe P90s

​The centerpiece of this build is a set of custom Dogear P90s by Pete Biltoft of Vintage Vibe Guitars. Since Biltoft’s retirement, these pickups have become a "holy grail" for tone chasers. They offer a unique sonic profile that sits perfectly between the clarity of a Lollar and the raw, aggressive character of a Fralin. They are touch-sensitive, harmonically rich, and offer a level of nuance you simply cannot find in modern mass-produced pickups.

​The Build: Performance & Stability

​Every piece of hardware on this guitar was selected to solve the traditional "quirks" of a hollow-body and create a reliable workhorse:

​Bigsby B7 Vibrato: Provides that classic shimmer and added mass for increased sustain.

​Tonepros Locking Bridge: A critical upgrade that locks to the studs, ensuring maximum vibration transfer and rock-solid intonation.

​Grover Locking Tuners & GraphTech Nut: This combination provides modern tuning reliability, even with heavy vibrato use. String changes are now a matter of seconds, not minutes.

​Feel and Condition

​This guitar is incredibly resonant; the acoustic volume alone speaks to the quality of the setup and the way these components work in harmony. It has been played and loved, developing a "broken-in" feel that only comes from years of dedicated use. Check out the YouTube video within this listing. The guitar has been maintained to a professional standard.

​I am only parting with this to streamline my personal collection. For a player who understands the value of boutique electronics and high-performance hardware, this Casino stands in a class of its own.
