Epiphone Casino in Sunburst Hollowbody Guitar, (Used)
The Epiphone Casino in Sunburst is a fully hollowbody electric guitar originally introduced in 1961, built around a laminated maple body with no centre block, which gives it a more open and resonant acoustic character compared to semi-hollow designs. It features a set mahogany neck with a SlimTaper 60s “C” profile, a 24.75-inch scale length, and a 12-inch radius fingerboard with 22 frets, providing a comfortable, vintage-style playing feel.
Electronics consist of two dogear-style PRO P-90 single-coil pickups, controlled via independent volume and tone knobs for each pickup along with a three-way selector switch. This setup delivers a distinctive tonal profile with strong midrange presence, clear attack, and a slightly compressed edge typical of P-90 pickups, making it suitable for clean, driven, and edge-of-breakup tones.
Hardware includes a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge paired with a trapeze tailpiece, which contributes to the guitar’s airy resonance and looser string feel compared to stopbar designs. Because of its fully hollow construction, the Casino is more responsive and lively but also more prone to feedback at high gain, making it particularly well suited to styles like indie, rock, blues, and classic pop where its open, chimey character can stand out.
