It was an ideal guitar for stage and studio and can be heard on many landmark recordings including The Beatles’ Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band and The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds.Maybe it’s purely coincidental that at the same time that the Casino was in its planning stages at Epiphone headquarters in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the Beatles were starting out, too. By 1964, the Beatles were stars and when Paul McCartney went shopping for a new guitar that could feed back, he reached for a Casino.

Widely known as the king of single coil pickups, these lean and mean P-90's offer a stellar combination of high output and biting treble response. The P-90 pickups were a favored among jazz players for their clear horn-like tone and were adopted by rock and rollers from the US and the UK who wanted to emulate the R&B records and were also looking for new sounds in the studio. Quality Construction, Hardware and Add-ons!Unlike an ES-335, the Casino is completely hollow which contributes to its unique, signature sound.
