Description

This Epiphone Casino reissue marks the 50th anniversary of the models 1961 introduction, reproducing the fully hollow, dual P90-equipped body that made the Casino a favourite of British Invasion and blues players for its resistance to feedback compared with archtop hollowbodies and its bright, cutting P90 tone. The 1961 launch year places the anniversary reissue in the earliest Casino specification, before later revisions changed pickup and hardware choices. Gary Clark Jr, closely associated with the Casino platform generally, is linked to this example.

The Fender Telecaster is an iconic solid-body electric guitar delivering bright, cutting tone with twangy character. Its single-cutaway design and dual pickups make it versatile for blues, country, and rock. The Telecaster remains one of the most influential guitar designs ever.
