Few hollowbody guitars carry a musical identity as recognizable as the Epiphone Casino left-handed hollowbody electric guitar. Since its introduction in 1961, the Casino has built a lasting reputation through players ranging from The Beatles and Keith Richards to Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher and Gary Clark Jr. This left-handed version brings that legacy to southpaw players with a lightweight, fully hollow five-ply maple/poplar body and a pair of Dogear P-90 PRO pickups—a combination that gives the Casino a lively acoustic response and an expressive amplified voice. A glued-in mahogany neck with a Rounded C profile and 24.75" scale provides familiar playing dimensions, while independent volume and tone controls offer direct control over each pickup. A Locktone Tune-O-Matic bridge, trapeze tailpiece and Vintage Deluxe tuners complete a design that remains closely connected to the Casino’s vintage roots.
Fully Hollow Five-Ply Body for Lively Resonance
Beneath its familiar outline, a layered five-ply maple/poplar body gives the Casino a lightweight, resonant foundation. Unlike a semi-hollowbody guitar with a centerblock, the Casino is fully hollow, allowing the body to respond freely to the strings. The trapeze tailpiece and deep-set neck further enhance vibration transfer through the instrument while positioning the bridge for optimal performance. Played unplugged, that responsiveness gives the Casino a lively acoustic voice well suited to casual playing and songwriting; plugged in, the resonant construction becomes part of the dynamic feel that has long distinguished the model.
Rounded C Neck for Comfortable Vintage Feel
Building on that responsive body, the glued-in mahogany neck uses a Rounded C profile and joins the body at the 16th fret in keeping with the Casino’s vintage specifications. A 24.75" scale and rosewood fingerboard provide familiar proportions, with a 12" radius and 22 medium jumbo frets supporting comfortable chord work and lead playing. Mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays and single-ply fingerboard binding add classic Casino detail without changing the straightforward playing surface. Together, the neck profile, scale and fingerboard dimensions provide a traditional foundation suited to the wide range of styles associated with the Casino.
Dogear P-90 PRO Pickups Deliver Distinctive Casino Character
Once amplified, two Epiphone Dogear P-90 PRO pickups put the Casino’s distinctive electric voice front and center. Independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, along with a three-way toggle, provide direct access to neck, bridge and combined sounds. The pickups can move from shimmering, articulate cleans to gritty edge and assertive overdrive, giving the guitar useful range across rock, blues, pop, country and jazz. Its fully hollow body also responds readily as gain and volume rise, producing natural feedback that can be shaped through palm muting and fretting-hand control into expressive sustain.
Locktone Bridge and Trapeze Tailpiece Maintain Vintage Style
The vintage-inspired approach continues with a Locktone Tune-O-Matic bridge that provides precise intonation across the fingerboard, while a trapeze tailpiece anchors the strings in traditional Casino fashion. Nickel hardware, white plastics and Gold Top Hat knobs with silver inserts preserve the model’s familiar visual language. At the headstock, Epiphone Vintage Deluxe tuning machines with metal buttons and press-in bushings work alongside a Graph Tech nut to support stable, dependable tuning. Together, these appointments complement the fully hollow construction while retaining the straightforward hardware layout associated with the Casino.
Historic Casino Character for Left-Handed Players
From its fully hollow construction to its Dogear P-90 PRO pickups, this left-handed Casino brings together the defining elements behind more than six decades of musical history. Its lightweight body provides a lively response both unplugged and amplified, while the Rounded C neck, independent pickup controls and traditional hardware create a familiar platform for styles ranging from rock and blues to pop, country and jazz. A premium Epiphone gig bag is included for storage and transport. For left-handed players seeking resonant hollowbody construction, expressive P-90 tones and unmistakable vintage character, the Epiphone Casino left-handed hollowbody electric guitar remains a distinctive choice.
