Casino Coupe comes with all-metal nickel hardware including a LockTone™ Tune-o-matic bridge with a Coupe Trapeze tailpiece and an Epiphone 1/4' heavy-duty output jack. Each pickup has individual volume and tone controls with Tom Hat knobs with metal inserts and pointers. And combined with the pure hollowbody of the Coupe, a guitarist can achieve almost acoustic tones at low volume. With a full rounded tone, the P-90 is the 'all purpose' pickup, capable of sharp lead tones, clean rhythm punch, and gritty, easily controllable feedback. The P-90 was first introduced by Gibson Brands in 1948 and is regarded by many as the most versatile and best sounding single coil pickup made. Casino Coupe has full-size, full power Epiphone 'dogear' P-90s. The Rosewood fingerboard has Pearloid 'Parallelogram' Inlays and a 24.75' scale, 22 medium jumbo frets, a 1960's SlimTaper™ profile, and a 1.68' nut. The Mahogany neck has single-ply ivory color binding. The orange soundhole label has the same typeface and design as 60s-era vintage models and the white and black 3-layer pickguard gives the Casino Coupe a classic look. I'll probably tinker some more on this one.Made from 5-layer laminated Maple with single layer ivory color binding on the top and back. Overall, I think shes a keeper but don't expect to get a flawless instrument. The finish had some thicker spots that I lightly rubbed down with a non-abrasive kitchen sponge. I had to file the high and low E nut slots slightly. The bridge is much more stable now and the guitar resonates and sustains better.

So I pulled those out and deformed the threads a little with some mechanical force (banging them with some pliers). I also restrung it and noticed that the bridge posts were SUPER loose, i.e. I fixed the rattly bridge by bending the wire a bit so the saddles stay put.

The selector switch feels cheapish and the bridge is the wire version so it rattles acoustically.Īsk me anything, there isn't much info yet on these guitars. Nothing is popping out at me as terrible. I don't know if they are as good as the Gibson P-90's but they are better than the D'Angelico and older Epi's I've tried. Very clear and articulate with the growl that you want out of a P-90. It has a normal nut width though so it doesn't feel tiny like some of the recent Casino's I've tried at Guitar Center. The neck profile is pretty slim with very little taper. This particular top had the most grain I've seen - many look really smooth with no grain. Feels very satiny - but nothing like the worn nitro finishes that Gibson does. Hey Y'all, just got my Epiphone Casino in from Sweetwater.
