The Guitar That Helped Shape Modern Rock Music

Few guitars can claim to have genuinely changed the sound of popular music. The Epiphone Casino is one of them.

From the British Invasion through to modern indie rock, the Casino's fully hollow construction and unmistakable P-90 voice have appeared on countless recordings. Famously embraced by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Keith Richards, Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller, the Casino has earned its place as one of the most influential electric guitars ever built.

Now, for the first time in decades, the Casino returns to American production as part of the prestigious Epiphone USA Collection. Built in the USA using premium materials, Gibson USA electronics and vintage-correct construction methods, this is not simply a reissue — it's the closest modern Epiphone Casino has come to its historic roots.

Why You'll Love It

Our Take

The Casino occupies a unique place in guitar history because of its unmistakable voice and feel.

Its fully hollow construction gives every note an airy, three-dimensional quality that feels alive beneath your hands. Chords bloom with rich harmonic complexity, single notes have a vocal-like character, and the guitar responds beautifully to changes in picking dynamics and touch.

The Gibson USA P-90 pickups are a huge part of the magic. They deliver sparkling cleans with exceptional detail and clarity, yet when pushed they reveal the raw, expressive midrange character that has inspired generations of players. There's an immediacy and responsiveness to the Casino that encourages you to dig in, back off, and explore the full range of what your playing can bring out of the instrument.

What continues to impress is its versatility. While the Casino has become an icon of rock and pop music, its warm resonance and dynamic response make it equally rewarding for blues, roots, jazz, alternative and singer-songwriter styles. It can sound delicate and articulate one moment, then bold, energetic and commanding the next.

The return to American production elevates the experience even further. The fit and finish, fretwork, electronics and attention to detail reflect the care and craftsmanship expected from a professional-level instrument. Every aspect feels considered, from the resonance of the body through to the smooth response of the controls.

For players seeking an instrument with genuine musical heritage, exceptional craftsmanship and a voice that remains as inspiring today as it was decades ago, the Epiphone USA Casino is a truly special guitar.
