Epiphone - Casino Natural LH

The pick finds its natural home on the Epiphone Casino Natural LH, where the archtop design is reversed to fit the left hand. The fully hollow body, constructed from five layers of maple, poplar and maple and finished in a gloss finish, transmits every attack to the arched top. The Dogear P-90 PRO pickups, fitted at the neck and bridge, produce a biting tone that the three-position toggle switch – with its cream-coloured knob – directs towards the body or the neck.

The white pickguard provides a sharp contrast against the top and back, which are made of five-ply maple, poplar and maple, edged with a single-ply binding that protects the sides over time. The glued-in mahogany neck with a Rounded C profile joins the body at the 16th fret and houses an adjustable truss rod beneath a two-ply Crescent Bullet cover stamped with the E logo. The rosewood fingerboard, with a 12-inch radius, featuring 22 Medium Jumbo frets and parallelogram mother-of-pearl inlays, extends to the 43 mm Graph Tech nut, over a 24.75-inch scale length that eases the tension of the strings beneath the fingers.

The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and trapezoid tailpiece anchor the .010 to .046 strings, supported by two strap buttons that hold the strap securely in place. The Epiphone Vintage Deluxe tuners, with metal knobs and rings, sit atop a slanted Dovewing headstock finished in nickel hardware. Two volume and two tone controls, Gold Top Hats knobs with silver inserts, control the blend of the two P-90 pickups to a 6.35 mm output jack, and the premium gig bag accompanies this left-handed semi-hollow body guitar in the tradition of those played since 1961 by Keith Richards and Noel Gallagher.
