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. to name a few. Sporting the same classic styling as the original, the Casino remains a go-to guitar for over two generations of musicians.

The Epiphone Casino Coupe is the modern version of the legendary hollowbody thinline archtop that the Beatles used throughout their recording career. There was something magical about the combination of the Casino's P-90 pickups and the tube amps of the day that resulted in tone that made Beatles songs instantly recognizable. The Casino Coupe is capable of sharp lead tones, clean rhythm punch, and gritty, easily controllable feedback. The dual P-90’s are paired with a 3-way toggle switch, as well as individual volume and tone controls for each pickup. The Casino Coupe’s two P-90 single-coil pickups deliver classic, assertive Casino tones but with more focused midrange and less susceptibility to feedback. The Riviera Custom P-93 has a semihollow design and three P-90 single-coil pickups that provide a wide range of tones and textures. This is a video I did comparing a Casino Coupe with a 339 pro. I've posted it as a response to people looking, but hadn't shared it on its own thread yet. Enjoy, and hope it helps anyone on the fence!

Epiphone has been a household name with artists and players alike for over 120 years. Creating some of the most memorable and innovative instruments of our time, it’s classic arch top guitars have remained ubiquitous in rock ’n roll lore.

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.
