Description

Beautiful 1966 Epiphone Casino anyone?This is a stunner, there is no doubt. Classic 60s Epiphone burst, no real signs of any damage anywhere, the odd minor knock but nothing noticeable. The colour has faded a little but again this is not too extensive. The neck is in superb condition with almost no wear, the frets have plenty of life left in them and it looks like it has had a recent and decent refret. The headstock is in good shape with a few minor chips. The hardware shows some slight discoloration but nothing substancial. The vibrato works very well. Electrically everything seems to be correct. The guitar comes with a modern hardshell case.Acoustically this guitar has a pleasantly warm tone that certainly tips the hat to Epiphone’s archtop heritage. Plugged in the guitar runs the gamut from warm neck pickup to a more honky, biting bridge pickup tone.These Casinos have a worthy place in the electric guitar cannon and this fine example would make a fanatic addition to any collection.
