1988 Epiphone Casino Natural Figured Near-Mint, Pre-Elitist Revolution, Japan

Description: Up for sale, a 1988 Epiphone Casino in showroom-clean, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced in Japan at the Terada factory, this is an early Epiphone reissue which preceded the "Elitist" line, sporting a gloss Natural finish and a pair of dogear P-90 pickups. Acoustically, the fully hollow maple body has a smooth, bright tone, offering an ideal platform for the stock pair of P-90 pickups. The pickups are wound to vintage spec with plenty of midrange bark, and a glassy, percussive quality. Offering a refinement far beyond most other modern Casino reissues, these pickups are sensitive to picking dynamics with an overarching sweetness and sparkling cut, equally suited to articulate cleans and rich overdrive. Featherweight at 6lbs 7oz, this Casino has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation. Neck Specs: -Wood: Maple -Shape: Slender C, moderate shoulders, measuring .800” 1st fret, .905” 12th fret -Fretboard: Rosewood, parallelogram inlay -Frets: Medium jumbo, no wear -Scale Length: 24 3/4” -Nut: 1 9/16”, bone -Tuners: Kluson-style, Gotoh Body Specs: -Wood: Maple (birdseye) -Pickups: P-90 x2 -Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, Three-way pickup selector -Hardware: ABR-1 bridge (nickel-plated), trapeze tailpiece -Plastics: Gold reflector cap knobs, raised three-ply pickguard with “E” Epsilon silkscreen logo -Serialization: Orange oval label dates to ‘88 The gloss Natural finish highlights bubble and birdseye figuring in the maple on the top and back, and there’s barely a mark on the body as a whole. The gloss on the neck profile is similarly flawless. The original faux leather padded gigbag is included.
