Epiphone Casino USA Vintage Burst Original

An Art Collection Between Visual Identity and Epiphone Heritage

This Epiphone is part of the "Art Collection" approach: beyond the instrument itself, the idea is to offer a guitar with a distinctive look, conceived as a collectible piece, while remaining a true playing machine. Its ES-339 format reflects the DNA of the brand's laminated body guitars, with a more compact approach, easy to handle both on stage and in the studio.

For Whom and In Which Styles?

Thanks to its SlimTaper D-profile neck and short scale length, it is well suited for beginner to intermediate guitarists seeking quick playability, as well as advanced players who want a responsive, expressive, and characterful instrument. The two P-90 pickups excel in rock, blues, garage, indie, and punk, with excellent response to attack and playing volume.

Sound

The laminated maple construction, reinforced by basswood bracing, provides a clear attack, great midrange clarity, and good chord definition. The P-90 Dogear pickups deliver an open and edgy sound: thicker and rougher than a single coil, but more airy and articulate than a humbucker. With its 2 volume / 2 tone controls and a 3-way selector, you can easily switch from a warm neck tone to a sharp bridge bite, while shaping brightness and saturation according to your amp and playing style.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, choose a set of electric strings in gauge 10-46 (10, 13, 17, 26, 36, 46), matching the indicated setup.
