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. Its appeal starts with a lightweight, fully hollow body and a pair of Dogear P-90 PRO pickups—a combination that gives the Casino both an expressive acoustic response and the direct, lively amplified character that has helped define the model for generations.
Fully Hollow Five-Ply Body for Lively Resonance Beneath that familiar outline, a layered five-ply maple/poplar body gives the Casino a lightweight, resonant foundation. Its fully hollow construction lets the body respond freely to the strings, while the trapeze tailpiece and deep-set neck help transfer vibration through the instrument. Played unplugged, that responsiveness gives the Casino a lively acoustic voice; plugged in, it becomes part of the dynamic feel that has long defined 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 smooth chord work and lead playing. Mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays and single-ply fingerboard binding complete the classic Casino playing surface.
Dogear P-90 PRO Pickups Bring 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 blended sounds. The pickups can move from shimmering, articulate cleans to gritty edge and assertive overdrive, while the fully hollow body responds readily as gain and volume rise. With thoughtful muting and fretting-hand control, that natural feedback can become expressive sustain rather than something to simply avoid.
Locktone Bridge and Trapeze Tailpiece Keep It Classic That vintage-inspired approach continues at the hardware, where a Locktone Tune-O-Matic bridge provides precise intonation and 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. Together, those details complement the fully hollow construction without distracting from the straightforward design that has long defined the Casino.
Vintage Deluxe Tuners Complete the Casino Look 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. A premium Epiphone gig bag is included for storage and transport, rounding out a guitar built to move easily between unplugged playing and amplified performance. For left-handed players who want lightweight hollowbody resonance, expressive P-90 response and a design with decades of musical history behind it, the Epiphone Casino left-handed hollowbody electric guitar remains a distinctive way to bring that character into their own playing.
