The one-piece mahogany neck has a slender C-shaped profile carve with full shoulders in every register and a hair more overall heft as you travel up the fretboard, measuring.
The guitar is featherweight at only 6lbs 1oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 11-49 roundwound strings, dialed in with low action and accurate intonation. Whether you want dynamic cleans or thick overdrive, these pickups can produce either with ease and with a refinement far beyond most other modern Casino reissues. The Gibson USA P-90s pickups are wound to vintage spec with plenty of midrange bark, and have a glassy, percussive quality.
Produced in Japan at the Terada factory and featuring a vibrant and era-correct Sunburst finish, this is an upscale and rare Epiphone model complete with the original Gibson USA-made P-90 pickup pair.Īcoustically, the fully hollow all-maple body has an articulate and smooth tone, capturing both the clear note attack of maple as a tonewood and the warmth of the hollow construction. Up for sale, a 2003 Epiphone Elitist '65 Casino in near mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags.
