Epiphone - Casino Natural

A rich, woody resonance emanates from the Epiphone Casino Natural’s hollow body at the slightest strum. The five-ply maple, poplar and maple body, fully hollowed out and finished in Gloss Natural, amplifies the natural harmonics of the Casino shape. The Dogear P-90 PRO pickups, fitted at the neck and bridge beneath Dogear covers, produce a crisp, rounded tone which the three-position toggle switch – complete with a cream-coloured knob – directs towards the body or the neck.

The top and back, crafted from the same maple-poplar-maple laminate, are edged with a single-ply binding that protects the edges over time. The glued-in mahogany neck with a Rounded C profile joins the body at the sixteenth 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 which reduces string tension.

The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Trapeze tailpiece anchor the .010 to .046 strings, supported by two strap buttons that hold the strap in place without any play. The Epiphone Vintage Deluxe tuning machines, with metal knobs featuring rings, sit atop a slanted Dovewing headstock finished in nickel hardware. Two volume and two tone controls, finished with Gold Top Hat knobs featuring silver inserts, balance the blend of the two P-90s to a 6.35 mm output jack, and the Premium Gig Bag accompanies this semi-hollow body guitar, played since 1961 by guitarists such as Keith Richards and Noel Gallagher.
