Up for sale, a 1991 Epiphone Casino in excellent, 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, sporting a gloss Sunburst finish on the lightly figured maple body and a pair of dogear P-90 pickups.

This Casino’s fully-hollow thinline body has a smooth, bright tone with great articulation, qualities captured accurately by the P-90 pickups. Wound to vintage spec with plenty of midrange bark, these pickups have a glassy, percussive quality, with a refinement beyond most modern Casino reissues. Sensitive to picking dynamics with an overarching sweetness and sparkling cut, they’re equally suited to detailed cleans and rich overdrive. This Casino benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Sunburst finish highlights subtle birdseye figuring in the maple with some light cloudiness in the finish on the back and headstock face and minor dings and finish scratches on the body as a whole. The gloss on the neck profile is smooth and clean, with a few shallow nicks in the lower register that are imperceptible to the palm while fretting.

The original Epiphone gigbag is included.
