After the merger with Gibson in 1957, Epiphone moved away from making large archtops. The Epiphone Casino still has the same classic look, sound, and features that have made it the go-to guitar for two generations of artists including Paul McCartney, Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher, Keith Richards and Gary Clark, Jr.įor the Epiphone Company of 1961, the Casino was a small breakthrough.
While models such as Masterbilts, Broadways, Wilshires, Coronets, Emperors and Texans are some of Epiphone's most memorable models, the Casino is arguably our most famous due to its close association with The Beatles. Epiphone has made a name for itself by producing some of the greatest and most innovative musical instruments for over 120 years.
