The Epiphone Casino Coupe (Natural) is a thinline hollow-body electric guitar which is inspired by the instantly recognisable 1961 Casino, but is presented in a smaller ES-339 sized frame. This makes the Coupe around 85% of the size of the original Casino, whilst retaining all the classic features that has made the original a favourite among influential guitarists since its introduction.
The laminated Maple body and 5-ply Maple top with Basswood bracing construct a resonant chamber that reacts with the 2x new P-90 pick-ups to create a rich tonal spectrum and wide ranging character options. The output of the guitar is further embellished by the LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge, the harness of which aids in sustaining the signal and simultaneously brings a vintage class to the look of the instrument. A Mahogany neck is topped with a smooth Pau Ferro fingerboard, a wood that shares its warm properties with Rosewood, albeit with a lighter colour and denser composition, and features Pearloid "Parallelogram" inlays. The beautiful Casino Coupe is finished off with Nickel hardware, and is available in a collection of eye-catching finishes.

I just got my new Epiphone Casino Coupe, and let me tell you, I totally fell in love with it! First of all, the design is beautiful (as you can see in the picture), it feels great when you touch it. And then, the sound is really awesome as well. One thing I love about this is that its really light, and its great for playing while standing up. I definetely recommend to everyone!
This guitar is incredible, out of the box completly ready to play, confortable action of the strings, well finished, no sharp ends on the frets and really beautiful. The coupe size is really a good choice as it makes the guitar very confortable to play while sit. The sound is perfect, just turn down a little bit the volume knob and the sound cleans in a very beautiful way, if you turn the volume all the way up you gonna hear an incredible dirt sound which I love. It's a extremely responsive guitar that fits in lots of styles, it's impossible not to like of something like this.
