It’s a hugely versatile guitar that naturally lends itself well to blues, jazz and country, but equally to classic rock and beyond. The tone of this beautiful guitar is flawless! The Elitist construction combined with the American-made Epiphone pickups and components all combine for a legendary tone that is saturated with vintage character. Don’t forget the hardshell case, which is a vital inclusion to protect this baby

There’s also a Delrin nut and saddle for good tonal consistency while the tune-o-matic bridge keeps tuning very stable, offering enhanced sustain. For example, you’ll find an awesome set of Gotoh Deluxe machine heads with a precision 14:1 gear ratio and attractive nickel buttons. The rest of the hardware seeps quality and Epiphone stick with trusted brand names. There’s an individual volume and individual tone control for both pickups – with vintage-style gold metal pointer inserts – along with a Switchcraft three-way toggle switch to choose between them. Controls are kept nice and simple, but solid and responsive. When it comes to electronics, Epiphone borrow from their bigger brother with two sensational Gibson passive humbuckers – a Epiphone USA EP-90R at the bridge position, with a USA EP-90T at the neck. Rest assured you’re getting more than a simple factory-made Epiphone here! Even though it’s not made stateside, it’s pretty much an American instrument, with American electronics and hardware and plenty of hands-on luthier attention. Crafted in the Elitist factory in Japan, Epiphone’s craftsmanship on this one is flawless. Decoration on the Elitist 1965 Casino is kept simple but elegant, with pearloid parallelogram fretboard inlays and f-holes in the body.

This is capped with a rosewood fretboard and 22 medium jumbo frets. Just like the original Casinos from the 1960s, the Elitist features a 24.75” scale length mahogany neck glued-in at the 16th fret, with a sixties SlimTaper D profile.

This reissue features the same timeless style of the original Casino – it looks just like the one held by the likes of Lennon and McCartney! It sports the soft double-cutaway archtop body made from three-ply laminated maple on the top, back and sides, all with spruce bracing and a delightfully retro Vintage Sunburst paintjob, finished with a nitrocellulose lacquer. Lovies Guitars is offering up this Sick Epiphone Elitist 1965 Casino/VS in a Classic Vintage Sunburst Finish! With the Elitist 1965 Casino, Epiphone certainly flex their high-end muscles, showing that they can still make a must-have premium guitar in addition to all the affordable models they produce.
