Epiphone Casino Matsumoku 1980 - 1989 - Wine Red

Up for sale is a vintage Epiphone Casino, made in Japan at the renowned Matsumoku factory during the 1980s. Finished in a stunning Wine Red, this semi-hollow electric guitar carries the unmistakable tone and vibe that made the Casino a classic. This guitar sounds and plays great -- it's currently setup with 10's. The frets are in very good condition (pictured). A few slight marks and nicks on the headstock and body but nothing major of note. Comes with a semi-hollow epiphone case in good condition. One of the latches on the case is missing (pictured). Doesn't effect ability to stay closed as all the other latches work as expected. All electronics are tested and working properly. Weight comes in at around 6lbs 8oz.

Featuring fully hollow construction with laminated maple body, set mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard, this Casino delivers the lively resonance and airy chime players love. The pair of vintage-style P-90 pickups provide warm cleans, gritty midrange growl, and that unmistakable blues/rock punch.

The Matsumoku-era Epiphones are increasingly sought after for their excellent craftsmanship, playability, and build quality, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Gibson and higher-end Japanese models of the same era.
