Epiphone Casino















1999 Epiphone Casino. Korean made hollowbody guitar. Known for easily feeding back because it's fully hollow. Thus it is an extremely light guitar. Vintage cherryburst on this one which isn't available anymore. I got it in an even trade with the Gibson Les Paul Faded Doublecut. It has two dog-ear style P90 pickups. Very nice sounding guitar with very nice acoustics. I modified this one by putting a frequensator tailpiece on it. The thought behind the frequensator is the longer bass strings provide higher stiffer tension and a tighter bottom end sound while the shorter strings have a little more treble and brilliance... In the end, I sold this one because it had a weird string buzz that i couldn't get rid of and so I couldn't get a real clean sound. I even compared it to some newer ones and they didn't have that problem so I decided to part with it.
