The neck is delightfully chunky, with a notable amount of heft and depth, despite Epiphone's claims that the neck has a 'slim taper' design. Professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar and strung with 10-46 strings, this Casino plays comfortably, sounds great and has barely a scratch on it! Expertly crafted to reproduce the features of the very first year of the Epiphone Casino, these guitars boast factory stock Gibson USA P-90 pickups and wiring! The tone is nothing short of pure 1960s goodness, delivering the classic growl and midrange presence of the P-90 pickup, matched with the fully hollow maple body, making this guitar a direct descendent of the Gibson ES-330 and identical in all but cosmetic appearance. Limited to only 1,961 guitars total, this reissue sold out quickly and these guitars are already becoming scarce and highly desirable.

Up for sale, a 2011 Epiphone Casino 50th Anniversary 1961 reissue model in exceptional, near mint condition and in perfect working order.
