Beautiful Japanese-made Epiphone Elitist 1965 Casino in Vintage Sunburst. Built at the Terada factory in Japan, the Elitist series was Epiphone’s premium Japanese-made line, with excellent build quality, fit and finish.
The guitar is in very good condition and has been well cared for. It plays and sounds great, with the open, resonant character you expect from a fully hollow Casino and a pair of vintage-style P-90 pickups. The one-piece mahogany neck has a comfortable ’60s Slim Taper D profile, 24.75” scale length, and 12” radius rosewood fingerboard.
Features include:
- Fully hollow laminated maple body
- One-piece mahogany set neck
- Indian rosewood fingerboard
- 22 frets
- Vintage-style P-90 neck and bridge pickups
- Tune-o-Matic bridge
- Trapeze tailpiece
- Grover tuners
- Nickel/chrome hardware
- Vintage Sunburst finish
- Made in Japan
Includes the original hardshell case and original accessories/case candy shown in the photos.
A particularly nice example of the Japanese Elitist Casino and a substantial step up from the standard-production Casino models in materials, construction and overall fit and finish.
Sale is final. No returns or refunds. Please review all photos carefully and feel free to ask any questions before purchasing. The guitar will be packed securely and shipped fully insured.
