![]() It won't fit in a standard sized gig-bag. Rare - Casino Coupe in Natural Finish If you're looking for a Casino Coupe in Natural Finish, here it is (This is the 'Coupe' model, same size as the ES-339, not the full 335 size Casino) Epi doesn't make this finish anymore because it requires the best woods and more effort. 3 hands would be handy! (Pardon the pun!) Regarding Gig-bags or cases : if it's not supplied with the guitar, then I'd suggest going for either the dedicated gig-bag (the Casino has an unusually long peg-head) or better still, an optional Epiphone or Gibson 335 style hard-case. It is a fiddly job at the best of times, and I personally adhere to attaching a wire to each of the pots/switches/jacks externally before dropping the whole assembly into the body, and extracting it through a pick-up hole. Makes one hell of a difference I can tell you! The original pots have little variation until you come to dead-spot where both volume & tone dissolve into a mush!

It looks good, is generally well-finished at the price, but most importantly, it plays & sounds great! I replaced the pots with US made CTS versions, and the p/u selector with a Switchcraft. As you’d expect, the USA Collection model has a number of specs that elevate it above the regular Epi version. Overall, I would give Epiphone Casino the thumbs-up. Now, for 2021, Epiphone has officially unveiled a made-in-USA version of the hollowbody beloved by The Beatles.
