The original P90s have a wonderful voice with healthy output and a nice punchiness that makes them a formidable option in the indie, Brit rock, and alt-country realm (think Radiohead, Wilco, Oasis, etc). Still, these are exceptional guitars for blues, R&B, and jazz, with a distinctly dry and woody midrange-forward acoustic voice that has nice focus and power.

The style of trapeze tailpiece is most often associated with Epiphones dating back to the early 50s, but post-Gibson acquisition can often be mixed with Gibson's diamond-embossed trapeze tailpiece seen on many of their archtop and thinline electrics. Judging by the cleanliness of the guitar and relative hardware, we presume this to be original to the guitar.

Ironically, the guitar came in with a quite worn vintage hardshell case that is not original to the guitar. It's the proper style - likely an Ess & Ess case made in the 60s or early 70s - and fits the Casino comfortably. It was understood from the old owner that the original case "had simply broken down" and this was its replacement down the line. It's got some duct tape on the edges/seams to protect some fraying , but is otherwise structurally sound.

Collectors and players alike could see this Casino as a sure-fire addition to the stable - tone, playability, and condition are all there!
