The Epiphone Elitist 1965 Casino is a beautifully faithful take on one of the most recognizable hollowbody guitars ever made, bringing the feel and character of a vintage Casino to players who appreciate the details. This Japanese-made Elitist model was crafted with a fully hollow, double-cutaway maple body, a classic Vintage Sunburst finish, and the unmistakable Casino silhouette. With its slim body depth, it has a comfortable feel against the body while the spruce bracing helps give the guitar a lively, resonant acoustic response.
The one-piece mahogany neck carries a 1960s SlimTaper D profile that feels fast and natural in the hand, while the 12" rosewood fingerboard, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and pearloid parallelogram inlays deliver an easy-playing vintage-inspired experience. The 24.75" scale and bone nut give it the familiar Gibson-style feel, while the glued-in neck construction provides a solid foundation for both rhythm and lead playing. Plugged in, P-90 pickups deliver the raw, articulate character that makes a Casino so addictive, with plenty of bite, warmth, and dynamic response that reacts beautifully to your picking attack.
The vintage-style appointments complete the experience, from the multi-ply Casino pickguard and metal E logo to the nickel hardware, trapeze tailpiece, and ABR-style Tune-o-matic bridge with Delrin saddles. CTS 250K audio pots and Orange Drop capacitors keep the controls responsive and musical, while the three-way Switchcraft toggle makes it easy to move between the distinct voices of each P-90. With its Japanese Elitist construction, Gibson USA electronics, vintage-inspired styling, and unmistakable hollowbody character, this 1965 Casino is a particularly compelling choice for players looking for a Casino with serious craftsmanship and plenty of personality. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
