Great guitar. Sounds great, fully hollow so great sustain with little natural feedback!

I love my casino. I own the Gold Top special run one. It sounds great, fully hollow so great sustain with little natural feedback! Works well with most effect pedals, though it is hollow body, you can use and over drive such as Electro Harmonix Line Power Booster 1 without any actual feedback. Though it has P90 it is not super loud guitar, actually my LP with ceramic humbuckers is way louder. I would not recommend for players who like to move and be stage flexible, the guitar is little bit deeper and seems to "bigger" than an Epi Dot and of course the whole guitar's appear is way bigger than a SG or Tele player might know.

Unique sound, but wild guitar

I own a Casino Reissue from 2013 and is my main guitr now. I had tried a lot of guitars like any mexican Fender out there, but this guitar get me the magic I needed for my band. Yeah, she has a lot of feedback when you're not controlling with volume knobs but when you pass trough it and tame thar feedback, this guitar give to you one of the best tones and guitar sound out there, and only for $600.

Love it

Love it. My first hollow body and im loving the ride. Now I understand the hype.

Nice tone, but not the easiest guitar to play

I used to have a 2016 Epiphone Casino in natural finish and it sounded great, but it had very important feedback issues. If you plan to gig it it may not big the best option out there. Plus, Chinese made Casinos haven't a great quality for the price tag, so I'd rather go find a Korean at least. I sold mine because in the end I didn't play it.

Love it

It play beautifully with its tone its really enjoyable ...............

Preferred Settings + Usage:

That other Beatles guitar

I have had the same Casino since 1996. Like many, I purchased it because of its connection to the Beatles, wanting that late era sound.

This is probably the best playing guitar I have ever owned. With its thin neck and poor sustain, I consider it a rhythm playing guitar. I am not saying to skip playing solo with it. A compression/sustain pedal should be sold with these, to help round them out.

Hopefully this will not matter to newer made Casinos, but those from the 90's weren't exactly well crafted. The "E" emblem on the pickguard well off just after a year and the electronics have needed work a few times. Also, keep a can-of-air around – this guitar gets a cold quite often.

It’s my favourite guitar

I love this guitar because of the sound and the way it feels and it reminds me of the Beatles (my favourite band)

An Epiphone Icon

The Epiphone Casino was one of my most sought guitars as a teenager and when I finally got it some months ago, it was all I wanted and more. Great sound and playability for blues and rock. It's so subtle, light and empowering to hold one of these.

It's a hollow body, so watch the feedback as you get more gain in the amp.

Great guitar for clean rhythms and using feedback.

The Epiphone casino is definitely a classic, recorded on incredible albums in the hands of greats like John Lennon the casino sound is one that defined the 60s, however, when considering the modern era it may have its flaws: - Hard reach for soloing do to the point of union between neck and body - Too much feedback with overdriven tones. The casino is the perfect guitar for the player who wants to recreate the 60's sound, play the classics, recommended for the players who like vintage sounds, not for the modern rocker.
