First introduced in 1961, the Casino was just one of several new thinline archtops designed and produced at the company’s adopted new factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan that it shared with one-time competitor and new partner, Gibson. Since 1961, the legendary Casino has been Epiphone’s best-selling archtop and a rock ‘n’ roll standard.

This Casino’s hollow body is expertly crafted from a Maple/Poplar/Maple ply mix that creates a warm, focused tone with a vibrant, snappy twang. Since it emerged in the early ‘60s, the Casino has been championed by some of the biggest names in music - Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, Keith Richards, The Kinks’ Davies brothers, to name but a few - and for good reason it possesses a beautiful tone with a jangle, sizzle, punch and growl like no other. The Epiphone Casino has always been a hugely popular guitar.

It has been over 50 years since this iconic guitar has been produced in the USA but this model is being expertly crafted in the good ol’ US of A and its quality is breathtaking. Over the last few years, Epiphone has produced many variants of the legendary Casino archtop but this USA Casino Electric Guitar takes the prize.
