Expert Review: Epiphone Casino Coupe

The Casino is arguably one of Epiphone's best known models, and they're generally highly prized by their owners. Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison of the Beatles and used by numerous other artists including Keith Richards, Gary Clark Jr. Paul Weller and Matthew Sweet, the Casino has been popular with players for decades. The headstock is angled at 14 degrees, which helps increase string down pressure at the nut, and thus sustain. The rosewood fingerboard has a 12" radius, and is adorned with pearloid parallelogram inlays. The nut is imitation bone. Both the pickguard and the bullet shaped truss rod cover feature the stylized Epiphone E logo, and the headstock also features an inlayed pearloid Epiphone logo. The tuners have vintage cosmetics and a 14:1 gear ratio. Coupe's slimmed down body size, some other aspects are also changed compared to a standard sized Casino. The neck joins the body at the 19th fret instead of 17th fret as you'll find on a standard Casino, which gives the Coupe even better upper fret access. The trapeze tailpiece is also shorter than a standard Casino's, with a shorter string length between the tailpiece and bridge. I prefer the more C-shaped profile of my Casino, but many players will no doubt love the profile of the Casino Coupe's neck as well, which is still a SlimTaper in terms of thickness, but with the meatier shoulders of a D-shaped profile.

With some caveats it's a very capable rock guitar, but it's not well-suited for heavier styles like metal. Casino Coupe's smaller trapeze and shorter behind the bridge string length provide slightly different pitches and string tension feel than a full-sized Casino.I have to admit I went into this review with a bit of skepticism. Casino Coupe would measure up. The build quality is similar, and the smaller ES-339 sized body is really a wonderful option; it's more comfortable and easier to hold and play than the larger, full-sized Casino, which will appeal to smaller players. Those who are more accustomed to playing solid-bodied guitars like Les Pauls and SGs will also no doubt find the Casino Coupe a more comfortable and familiar fit that can make the transition to an ES-style instrument easier. With a full rounded tone, the P-90 is the “all purpose” pickup, capable of sharp lead tones, clean rhythm punch, and gritty, easily controllable feedback. The SlimTaper™ is patterned after prime vintage models. Its comfortable for hours of play and for smooth transitions between rhythm and lead. At the top of the neck is the 60s style Sloped Dovewing headstock with a 14 degree angle for great intonation. The vintage “Epiphone” logo is in pearloid and the Kalamazoo-era “bullet” truss rod cover—also a feature of 60s Casinos--has the Epi “E” logo in white silkprint. P90's in my Cabronita Tele but ultimately decided against it. The P90 hunger persisted, so I went for what I considered a "cheap/affordable" option. I can find to whine about is the small divot at the bottom of the left F hole cut. Neck came stick straight, frets are great, bridge is buzz free (I guess this is an issue with the MIC Casino's) and the pickups sound fantastic. Back in September I bought a used Gibson SG, the 1950 Tribute w P90's. I paid $500 used and it is a piece of junk.

I didn't have them at the same time, but I will say that the completely hollow Casio Coupe sounds different than any guitar I've played. I really love too.
