Since the original Casinos incorporated parts and electronics from the Gibson factory, the 1961 Anniversary Casino has followed the same philosophy.
QUALITY AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS SIMILAR TO EPIPHONE ELITIST CASINO. The 1961 Casino features an original-style hard case with gray exterior and blue plush interior and a numbered certificate of authenticity. BEAUTIFUL GUITAR WITH VINTAGE CORRECT SPECS. Hardware includes a Tune-O-Matic bridge and a trapeze tailpiece. The body is made of 5-layer maple/birch with a solid mahogany, slim taper neck. These include the pre-Gibson era triangle metal logo badge on the headstock, dot fingerboard inlays, a blank two-ply bullet trussrod cover, a tortoise-colored pickguard with foil 'E', and black dog-ear P-90 pickups. Epiphone brings back the first Casino in celebration of it's 50th anniversary - the Limited Edition 50th Anniversary 1961 Casino with a trapeze tailpiece. Introduced in 1961, the original Casino had unique features that ultimately were never offered beyond that first year.
