Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.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 1953 'Nancy' is a classic single-cutaway electric guitar featuring a solid ash body with blonde finish, fretted maple neck with 21 frets and black dot position markers, and a 25 1/2 inch scale length. The guitar is equipped with two single-coil pickups (including distinctive Don Mare units on the legendary Roy Buchanan example), black bakelite pickguard, volume and tone controls, and string-thru-body design. The tone is bright and cutting with strong midrange presence ideal for country, rock, and blues lead work. The ash body construction and single-coil pickups contribute to the signature twang and clarity.
