USED EPIPHONE / Elitist 1965 Casino [03]

We've just received a used EPIPHONE / Elitist 1965 Casino!
The "Elitist" series represents Epiphone’s pinnacle of craftsmanship, rivaling Gibson guitars made in the USA.
This Japan-made masterpiece was manufactured in 1995 by the renowned Terada Gakki, a company with a reputation for crafting high-quality instruments.

Its appeal lies in the lightweight yet rich, natural acoustic resonance produced by the 1965-spec 16th-fret joint and full-hollow body construction.
It’s a superb instrument with a pleasant, vintage tone—rich and deep—thanks to the P-90 pickups.

There is paint chipping at the tip of the headstock due to an impact mark, and the entire body shows impact marks and scuffs; belt marks are particularly noticeable on the back of the body. The metal parts show a somewhat pronounced patina.
Considering its age, the guitar is in good overall condition and plays well.

After this item arrived at our store, we replaced the strings with new ones and had our repair department clean, maintain, and set up all parts.
