1961 Epiphone Casino- First Year of Issue-

code VA042

'61 Casino w/ 2 Black P-90 Pickups and Dot Inlay.  The 23709 serial number on this old Epi Casino dates it to 1961, making it one of the earliest ones made. It has the cool early features, including black plastic covers on the two P-90 pickups and dot inlays on the fingerboard, not the chrome covers and trapezoids found on later models. And this one has the unique Epiphone tremelo complete with the hard to find arm. Single line Kluson Deluxe tuners.The three ply white guard is original- when you look closely you can still see the outline of the missing E logo.
