Built with a 5-ply maple hollowbody, nitrocellulose finish, and Gibson USA P-90 pickups, it delivers the vintage-inspired character players love, but with the precision and craftsmanship that made these Japanese-made Elitist models so desirable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"693\" data-end=\"702\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"704\" data-end=\"823\"\u003eThis guitar is in mint condition.

With Gibson USA P-90 pickups, premium electronics, nitro finish, and excellent Japanese craftsmanship, they are much closer to a boutique or Gibson-level instrument than a typical Epiphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2150\" data-end=\"2408\"\u003eThis model also captures the classic Casino formula beautifully, with fully hollow construction, trapeze tailpiece, and vintage-correct styling.

The fully hollow body gives it warmth and resonance, while the Gibson USA P-90s add bite, chime, and clarity. It works beautifully for clean rhythm tones, roots rock, blues, indie, and dynamic lead playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2721\" data-end=\"2926\"\u003eAt just 6 lbs 2 oz, it is lightweight, resonant, and very comfortable in hand.
