Epiphone Casino Jazz Tone

4/6/2022
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. The hollow body design of the Casino makes it more prone to feedback than solid body guitars, so it is not generally considered a good choice for hard rock and metal styles, but the Casino works well for blues, country, Americana, roots-rock and even jazz styles. Today Epiphone offers this guitar in a few versions, including a standard model. Original Gibson & Epiphone guitar & bass wiring diagrams listed by guitar model. A Casino, has a darker tone, than say.a Fender. But, it's more midrange, at the full open positions on volume. Tone, than Humbuckers. Being full hollow body, limits it use as a high volume, shredding maching. Excellent 'clean,' and for 'Jazz' and 'Blues' tone, as well as some Classic Rock, or even progressive rock.

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.

New Usa Epiphone Casino

Since 1961, the legendary Casino has been Epiphone’s best-selling archtop and a rock ‘n’ roll standard. 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. The Casino was first adopted by Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones who used a Casino to record the demo for “Satisfaction” at Chess Records in Chicago. Howlin' Wolf took a Casino on his first tour of the UK, appearing on Thank Your Lucky Stars. Shortly afterwards, John Lennon and George Harrison bought Casinos for the Beatles 1966 world tour. Featuring Dogear P-90T Classic™ pickups and a 5-ply Maple body with Basswood top bracing. Available in Natural, Vintage Sunburst, and new Turquoise color finishes.

P-90 Single Coil Pickup

Legendary Tone

First introduced in the early 1950s, Gibson's legendary P90 single coil pickup produced a raw powerful tone that helped define the blues and rock and roll in their formative years. Today, the P90's traditional combination of high output and brilliant tone is still considered a favorite among many top musicians. Known by such familiar nicknames as the 'Soapbar' and the 'Cobalt,' the P90 still cuts through any type of music, all while displaying amazing tonal sensitivity for everything from blues and rock to mellow jazz riffs. It's perfect as a vintage replacement, and features vintage, braided two-conductor wiring. It's also fully wax potted to eliminate any chance of unwanted microphonic feedback.
