1984 Epiphone Casino Vintage Guitar Natural, 1 11/16" Nut, Japan Matsumoku Pre-Elitist
Up for sale, a 1984 Epiphone Casino in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced in Japan at the Matsumoku factory, this Casino is an uncommon and early Epiphone reissue produced decades before the “Elitist” line was introduced and notable for its full 1 11/16" nut width (a surprisingly uncommon feature on many Casino reissues).
This guitar's fully hollow all-maple body has an articulate and airy tone, capturing both the clear note attack of maple as a tonewood and the warmth of the hollow construction. The Maxon-made P-90 pickups deliver plenty of midrange bark, with a glassy, percussive quality and broad low end growl. Lightweight at 6lbs 15oz, this Casino has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

-Label: Bass-side F hole
The gloss Natural finish highlights birdseye figuring in the maple, particularly prominent on the back, and cosmetic wear is limited to a cluster of light finish scratches central to the back (well short of “buckle rash”). The smooth gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
The original Epiphone-branded padded gigbag is included.
