The Epiphone Casino is an all-time favourite of ours here at PMT - a classic affordable semi-hollow body guitar with all the style and grace of a vintage Jazz guitar.
WHY CHOOSE AN EPIPHONE CASINO?
The Casino has been Epiphone’s best-selling archtop guitar since 1961. Famously used by John Lennon, the guitar boasts a thin line body, single-coil pickups and comes in a variety of finishes. As a hollow-bodied versatile all-rounder, the Casino can pretty much deliver on any sound or genre. Semi-acoustic options are also available if this is more suitable for you.
A VINTAGE STYLED FAVOURITE
Perhaps this is because the Epiphone Casino helped define the sounds of the sixties, or down to its elegant vintage looks and tone, but this is a much-loved favourite amongst the guitar community. Its hollow body offers a full warm sound and this is why the Casino has been popular within the jazz genre. Other artists who have favoured this guitar include Keith Richards, Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher, The Edge and more.
