Limited to just 1,961 units worldwide, this example is finished in the stunning Royal Tan colourway - one of only two finish options offered on this anniversary model - and recreates the original 1961 E230TD Casino in authentic detail, with appointments and features discontinued after the first year of production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Casino's status in rock history is without parallel among hollow-body electric guitars. When Paul McCartney went looking for a guitar that would feed back like his favourite blues records, he chose a Casino - and John Lennon and George Harrison soon followed, using their Casinos on stage and at Abbey Road through the remainder of The Beatles' career and on recordings as landmark as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Carl Wilson, Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher, and Keith Richards are among the countless artists who have defined their sound with this instrument. The 5-ply laminated maple and birch fully hollow body produces the clear, ringing, acoustically alive tone that made the Casino so distinctive - capable of glassy, bell-like clean tones and, when pushed, a natural, harmonically rich overdrive that a semi-hollow guitar simply cannot replicate. Gibson USA P-90 pickups, a Kalamazoo headstock with badge, Wilkinson vintage tuners with white buttons, and a period-correct trapeze tailpiece complete a reissue of genuine historical authenticity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis 2011-built guitar is in wonderful condition, with minimal playwear and a great slinky action. It's had an aftermarket Bigsby vibrato installed, which works beautifully and completes the vintage aesthetic. An all-time classic with upgraded specs. Includes original hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eModel: Epiphone 1961 50th Anniversary Casino (trapeze version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eYear: 2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSerial number: 11051501655\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBody: Fully hollow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBody material: 5-ply laminated maple and birch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBody binding: Single-ply cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNeck: Mahogany, SlimTaper profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNeck binding: Single-ply cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNeck joint: Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood, 12\" radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFingerboard inlays: Dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNut width: 1.68\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHeadstock: Kalamazoo with badge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTruss rod cover: Bullet, multi-ply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePickups: 2 x Gibson USA P-90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eControls: 2 x volume, 2 x tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eKnobs: Reflector, gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBridge: Tune-O-Matic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTailpiece: Trapeze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTuners: Wilkinson vintage with white buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHardware: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePickguard: Casino tortoise with logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFinish: Royal Tan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLimited edition: 1,961 units worldwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Epiphone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48132744544477,"sku":"CON12411","price":2599.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/8045\/files\/0H3A5614.jpg?v=1784863307","url":"https:\/\/www.acousticcentre.com.au\/products\/epiphone-casino-1971-50th-anniversary-preowned","provider":"Acoustic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
