The original bone nut measures 1 9/16' in width, and the headstock retains the Kluson Deluxe-style nickel tuners. The guitar plays cleanly up the neck, and the truss rod is responsive and optimally adjusted.
The rosewood fretboard retains the original medium jumbo fretwire, and the frets show decent grooves beneath the plain strings on frets 1-3, with fainter wear extending until fret 7. The neck has a notably slender and fast-feeling C shaped profile with modest shoulder and gentle taper as you travel up the fretboard, measuring.
Weighing only 6lbs 8oz, we've had this Casino professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar and dialed in for optimal action and intonation with 10-46 strings. Perfect for bold cleans or overdriven sizzle, these pickups take full advantage of both the snappy attack of the maple body and the warmth of the fully hollow construction. Faithfully replicating mid '60s spec, the P-90s have plenty of bark and growl, with a glassy, touch sensitive sound.
Produced in Japan at the Terada factory, this is an uncommon and early Epiphone reissue which preceded the current 'Elitist' line. Up for sale a 1992 Epiphone Casino in 100% original condition and in perfect working order.
