Classic Vintage Styling and Unique Features: Introduced in 1961, the original Casino had unique features that ultimately were never offered beyond that first year. These include the pre-Gibson era triangle metal logo badge on the headstock, “dot” fingerboard inlays, a blank two-ply “bullet” truss rod cover, a tortoise-colored pickguard with foil “E,” and black dog-ear P-90 pickups. Epiphone has faithfully reproduced these features for a one-of-a-kind retro look not found on Casinos produced after 1961. Other attention to detail includes the correct ’burst patterns on front and back, a neck joint at the 16th fret (instead of the 17th), Wilkinson Vintage-Style tuners with white buttons, and the historically accurate rectangle “blue label” inside the sound hole.
Original Premium Electronics: No detail of the original ’61 Casino has been missed. Since the original Casinos incorporated parts and electronics from the Gibson factory, the 1961 Anniversary Casino has followed the same philosophy. Epiphone has recreated the original black P-90s using a Gibson USA P-90R dog-ear pickup for rhythm and a Gibson USA P-90T at the bridge. Widely known as Gibson's first successful single-coil pickup, these lean and mean P-90s offer a stellar combination of high output and biting treble response. They also feature vintage two-conductor, braided, shielded wiring and black plastic covers. Other electronics faithful to the original Casino include a Switchcraft 3-way toggle and ¼” output jack.
The P-90s were a favorite among jazz players for their clear horn-like tone. A young jazz student in 1961 could put on some flat wounds (and perhaps an unwound third if the teacher wasn’t looking) and hear the tone of Barney Kessel, Tal Farlow or maybe even Charlie Christian.
Quality Construction, Hardware and Add-ons! Unlike an ES-335, the Casino is completely hollow which contributes to its unique, signature sound made most famous by The Beatles. The body is made of 5-layer Maple/Birch with a solid Mahogany SlimTaper™ neck attached using the traditional mortise and tenon neck joint hand-fitted and glued to the body using TiteBond™ glue. Hardware includes a Tune-o-matic bridge and your choice of either a trapeze tailpiece or Epiphone’s new reissue of the original Tremotone™ vibrato. Cool! To top it all off, each 1961 Casino features an original-style hard case with gray exterior and blue plush interior and a numbered certificate of authenticity. As with every Epiphone, it also comes with the peace of mind you get from a Limited Lifetime Warranty backed by Gibson Musical Instruments famous 24/7/265 day Customer Service.
Epiphone Dot If you're lusting for a Gibson ES-335, but can't swing the lofty price, the Dot is an attractive alternative. Like the original, the Dot features a laminated maple body, a glued-in mahogany neck, and a dot-inlaid fretboard. Its '57 Classic pick-ups have alnico magnets (just like the vintage units), and the cherry finish is period correct. The stop tailpiece and bonnet knobs are authentic touches, as are the "Gibson" engraved trussrod cover and the orange sticker visible through the upper f-hole. Only the headstock shape, the "E" logo on the pickguard, and the bridge (which is wider than a Gibson Tune-o-matic) foil the ruse. The Dot is well made. Its medium-sized frets are lightly polished and well shaped, the neck joint is clean, the hardware robust, and the finish is flawless. Weight is a moderate 7.5 lbs.

The Epiphone Casino with Bigsby Semi Acoustic Guitar, features a Bigsby tremolo, Alnico P90 Pickups, Laminated Maple Body and Top, Vintage Sunburst Finish. A classic guitar style used by the Beatles, with vintage tones.
The Epiphone Casino with Bigsby Semi Acoustic Guitar is equipped with two vintage P-90 single-coil pickups, delivering that Beatles tone at a very affordable price. The Epiphone CASINO is made with a select maple body and top with F-holes, trapeze bridge, mahogany neck (24-3/4 inch scale), neck and body binding, 2 volume and 2 tone controls, and parallelogram inlays.
The tone of the Epiphone Casino with Bigsby is bright and warm. Acoustically better than any semi because of its hollow body construction, strumming unplugged is a pleasant experience. Lennon used his CASINO extensively in the latter part of the Beatles recording years, to get an idea of the sound produced by the Epiphone CASINO, take a listen to the Beatles' "Revolver" album and anything after that. Rock, jazz and blues are the best applications for the Epiphone CASINO. Features of the Epiphone Casino with Bigsby Limited Edition EPIPHONE CLUB

Featuring many of the same design cues and distinguished components as the esteemed VOX Virage, the sharp-horned HDC-77 offers an outstanding value for a quality instrument well worthy of the VOX name. Beautiful to look at, the HDC-77 is available in two colours both featuring figured maple-ply top & back with mahogany sides.
In addition to the unique body sculpting and design, the HDC-77 features the same inverse heel joint, deeply cut for free access to the upper frets, as the original Virage series guitars. The MaxConnect™ aluminum bridge and VOX Super Smooth tuners offer superior string handling, and offer tuning stability as well as a thick, rich tone with clear, singing harmonics. Large rectangular position markers adorn the fingerboard; dot position markers grace the side of the neck for fast reference. The rosewood fingerboard provides a comfortable playing surface; the mahogany neck is rock-stable.
Our whisper-quiet CoAxe pickups feature three distinct tones, each derived from a different pickup element. The result is a versatile assortment of unique and sophisticated tones. The passive analog tone circuitry offers extended control using the Master Volume and Master Tone knobs. Logically laid out and easy to use, the controls allow fast changes during performance. The HDC-77 offers a deep range of tonal choices to satisfy your tonal cravings.
