Epiphone Casino Worn Hollowbody - Worn Olive Drab

The Epiphone Casino Worn Hollowbody in Worn Olive Drab is a modern take on Epiphone's iconic full-hollowbody electric guitar, famed for its resonant tone and unique aesthetic, notably popularized by The Beatles. The "Worn" finish gives it a played-in, vintage feel right out of the box.

Key Features:

• Full-Hollow Body Construction:
  • Body: 5-ply Layered Maple/Poplar, delivering a resonant, airy, and open tone characteristic of fully hollow instruments. This construction makes it lightweight and acoustically lively.
  • No Center Block: Unlike semi-hollow guitars (like an ES-335), the Casino has no center block, which contributes to its unique acoustic resonance and a tendency to feedback at higher volumes, a quality many players embrace for its distinct character.
• Neck & Fingerboard:
  • Neck Material: Mahogany, offering warmth and sustain.
  • Neck Profile: Rounded "C" profile, providing a comfortable and familiar feel.
  • Fingerboard: Indian Laurel, with a 12" radius and 22 Medium Jumbo frets.
  • Scale Length: 24.75" (classic Gibson short scale).
  • Nut: Graph Tech NuBone, enhancing tuning stability and sustain.
• Pickups:
  • Equipped with two Epiphone PRO P-90 Dogear single-coil pickups. These pickups are known for their bright, articulate, and punchy tone, offering more bite and clarity than humbuckers, and more body than traditional single-coils. They deliver classic Casino chime and grit.
• Hardware:
  • Bridge: LockTone Tune-O-Matic for stable intonation.
  • Tailpiece: LockTone Stop Bar for sustain and reliable string anchoring.
  • Tuners: Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons, providing a classic look and good tuning stability.
  • Hardware Finish: Nickel, often with a "worn" or aged look to match the body finish.
• Electronics:
  • Standard 2 Volume, 2 Tone controls, utilizing CTS potentiometers for reliable operation and smooth taper.
  • 3-way Epiphone toggle pickup selector.
• Aesthetics and Finish:
  • "Worn Olive Drab" Finish: This unique matte or satin finish gives the guitar a vintage, broken-in appearance, as if it's been played for years. The Olive Drab color is a distinctive, muted green that sets it apart visually.
  • Binding: Single-ply cream binding on the body and neck.
  • Inlays: Pearloid parallelogram inlays on the fingerboard.
  • Pickguard: 3-ply White/Black/White pickguard.
• No Case Included: Typically, this model does not come with a case, allowing players to choose their preferred option.
