The Casino
The Epiphone Casino’s unique design put it in a class of it’s own, sporting a smaller body depth and a big clear tone. It’s ability to feedback and be overdriven immediately attracted the attention of Paul McCartney, and soon gained a following by the likes of The Beach Boys, Keith Richards and Gary Clark Jr. to name a few. Sporting the same classic styling as the original, the Casino remains a go-to guitar for over two generations of musicians.
Epiphone has been a household name with artists and players alike for over 120 years. Creating some of the most memorable and innovative instruments of our time, it’s classic arch top guitars have remained ubiquitous in rock ’n roll lore.
From Epiphone:
A rock classic in “coupe racing” size
The Casino Coupe is the legendary Casino reborn in an ES-339 body size. It’s a racecar-sized, super slick coupe version of the legendary hollowbody that since its release in 1961, has been a favorite of tone connoisseurs from Keith Richards to The Beatles, to GRAMMY winner Gary Clark Jr.
The new Epiphone Casino Coupe has all of the Casino’s trademark tone features–from neck size to tone woods to pickups–but in a “Coupe” size for easy travel. Now you can play the legendary archtop in a smaller size without a smaller sound.
Like all Epiphone instruments, a hard case is available for the Casino Coupe and the guitar comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty and 365/24/7 Gibson Brand Customer Service. Visit your Authorized Epiphone Dealer today and be the first to make history with the Epiphone Casino Coupe.
