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.
This entry covers a 1958 Fender Telecaster with no specific documented owner attached. By 1958 the Telecaster had settled into its classic form: an ash or alder body, a maple neck often finished with a distinctive slab-cut rosewood fingerboard that Fender introduced mid-decade, and the model's original bridge and neck single-coil pickups wired through a three-way selector. Guitars from this window are prized by collectors for the combination of a still-lightweight body and the newly introduced rosewood board, which many players feel adds a touch of warmth to the classic bright, cutting Telecaster voice without losing its fundamental character.
