If you need a special-purpose instrument for blues, rock and jazz, the Epiphone Casino is a sure thing.
It is easy to think that the guitar makers Fender and Gibson instruments have always been the best sellers of music they are now, but it’s really not. Believe it or not, for many years, Epiphone dominated the universe really electric guitar, mainly thanks to a group of young musicians from Liverpool (the Beatles, if you do not know your music history very well).
George and John are not the only guitar that could be seen playing Epiphone Casinos. The casino is soft, vibrant tones could be found in tons of concerts and recordings. Although it is unlikely that you’ll be able to pick up a 1960-s true Casino, you can get a model of current edition is worth the trip. Some details of the current model.

Performance
As you are testing a new Epiphone Casino, you’ll probably see at least a few things. First things first. The casino is very easy, because of its semi-hollow design. If you’re used to playing a Les Paul, the casino feels like a feather in comparison.
The second thing is to realize that the sound itself. “Crisp” is probably the best adjective you can use to describe it. Not used Fender or Gibson tone, but not a bad thing. It is unique, its own animal.
