Members Zadillo Posted May 23, 2006 Members Share Posted May 23, 2006 I was just watching Late Night With Conan O'Brian, and it looked like the Edge was playing an Epiphone Casino. Is that a guitar he normally uses, or is this something special? Sounded pretty good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if maybe this had something to do with the Music Rising thing (I came across something mentioning that Gibson was doing a special Music Rising Epiphone Casino, so maybe that would explain why the Edge was playing it). -Zadillo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stratopedia Posted May 23, 2006 Members Share Posted May 23, 2006 I saw the show too just now. Definitely an Epi Casino. Says so on the pickguard and headstock IIRC. Yeah, nice tone but that's all from his pedals I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rydogg_sc2 Posted May 23, 2006 Members Share Posted May 23, 2006 It was a casino but in the song I saw it hardly sounds like a guitar. Closer to a synth thanks to all the effects I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Lennon seemed to do alright with one. Even the ones made today are pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ThomasH Posted May 23, 2006 Members Share Posted May 23, 2006 He used it for a couple of songs on their latest album. And no, it's not a knock-off. It's a vintage guitar from before Gibson bought the brand and turned it into their budget line. I know he used it on All Because Of You. I can't remember which other songs got the Epi treatment.

Unlikely! Gibson bought Epiphone in 1957. The first Casino's came out in 1961. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that. But it's still a vintage guitar so I believe it was made in US unlike today's more budget minded Epiphones. Maybe I'm wrong, though...

Nothing personal, but the above exhibits total ignorance of the history of Epiphone generally and the Casino in particular. Fail. Your implication that a Casino wouldn't be played by a pro guitarist who has his pick of guitars is demonstrably false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
