Description
The Ltd. Edition Casino in Sunrise Orange brings a fresh look to the Epiphone classic that has been a favourite of the world's top artists for over 50 years including The Beatles, Paul Weller, Keith Richards, Radiohead, Gary Clark Jr., and The Kinks. Featuring new Epiphone Dogear P-90 Classic™ single coil pickups and Epiphone "Deluxe" Vintage 14:1 tuners. Available for a limited time only.
Legendary Thin-line Hollowbody Masterpiece
Today, Epiphone Casinos are made the same as they were when they were first released in 1961. The new Ltd. Ed. Casino in Sunrise Orange is an all-hollowbody thin-line archtop with a 5-ply Maple top, back, and sides and with Basswood bracing.
Both the body and fingerboard have Ivory binding. The Mahogany neck has a SlimTaper™ D profile and is glued to the body at the 16th fret just like vintage models from the 60s.
The Pau Ferro fingerboard has parallelogram inlays, a 24.75" scale, a 12" radius, and a 1.68" nut while the small-sloped dovewing headstock has beveled sides and a 14 degree angle for better string tension and intonation.
Epiphone Dogear P-90 Classic
The Ltd. Ed. Casino in Sunrise Orange is powered by new Epiphone Dogear P-90 Classic™ single coil pickups inspired by the first generation of P-90 pickups that gave the Casino its unique tone. Epiphone Dogear P-90 Classics are made with 18% Nickel Silver covers and designed and tooled from the ground up with new bobbins manufactured to historic dimensions, Elektrisola magnet wire, sand cast Alnico V magnets, and pole shoes manufactured using correct alloys made to Gibson's original dimensions.
Each pickup has its own Volume and Tone control with Gold "Top Hat" knobs with metal inserts and pointers and an Epiphone all-metal three-way selector switch.
Epiphone Hardware
The Ltd. Ed. Casino in Sunrise Orange has a Tune-o-matic bridge and traditional chrome trapeze tailpiece along with Epiphone "Deluxe" Vintage machine heads with small metal buttons and a 14:1 tuning ratio for fast and accurate tuning.
