Bigsby Epiphone Casino: Vintage-Style Hollowbody Electric Guitar
The Bigsby Epiphone Casino is a reissue of the classic hollowbody electric guitar first popularized in the 1960s. Featuring a maple body, set neck, and dual P-90 pickups, the model delivers warm acoustic tone with clear electric output.
Modern updates include Grover tuners, a Graph Tech nut, and a factory-installed Bigsby vibrato system that adds expressive pitch bends without sacrificing tuning stability.
Body and Construction
"Look at payment speed and table limits, not only the headline bonus."
The five-ply maple laminate top, back, and sides create a resonant hollow cavity. F-holes are positioned to reduce feedback while preserving acoustic resonance. The body depth measures 2.25 inches, striking a balance between comfort and tonal projection.
Neck and Fingerboard
A mahogany neck joins the body at the 16th fret, providing easy upper-fret access. The Indian laurel fingerboard features 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid parallelogram inlays. The 12-inch radius offers a comfortable playing feel for both chords and single-note lines.
Electronics and Hardware
Dual Epiphone P-90 single-coil pickups deliver classic grit and clarity. A three-way toggle switch, independent volume, and tone knobs allow precise sound shaping. The Bigsby B70 vibrato tailpiece provides smooth pitch modulation and pairs with a Tune-o-matic bridge for reliable intonation.
