Weighing in at only 6lbs 6oz, we've had this Casino professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar and dialed in for optimal action and intonation with 10-46 strings. Perfect for bold cleans or overdriven sizzle, these pickups take full advantage of both the snappy attack of the maple body and the warmth of the fully hollow construction. Faithfully replicating mid '60s spec, the P-90s have plenty of bark and growl, with a glassy, touch sensitive sound. Produced in Japan at the Terada factory, this is an uncommon and early Epiphone reissue which preceded the current 'Elitist' line. I don't mean to offend in any way.Up for sale a 1990 Epiphone Casino in 100% original condition and in perfect working order. If you want a quality practice tube amp, you can get a phenomenal Vox AC4TV for $250. If you want cheap, you can pick up a Vox Pathfinder 15r for just a little over $100 and still get that awesome Beatle chime.

You say you don't need one, I'm assuming cause you're not out playing live gigs all the time.that's fine!! There are plenty of low volume practice amplifiers that sound killer and will help you with your tone. I would do yourself a huge favor and go out and buy an amp. It makes no sense at all to have an electric guitar like the Casino, with its great P90 pickups and the relationship between those pickups and the hollowbody construction, and not have an amp. The big thing with any electric guitar is how the amplifier takes the guitar's naked signal and alters both the volume and tone in very unique ways. Both are roughly the same thickness even, so not even a nitro nut can tell you differently. The poly finish will not significantly effect the tone of the guitar. You should get something.anything at all really. You don't even need a tube amp, although I highly recommend it. If you want good sound/tone/volume, you need to get some sort of amplifier. Fingers, I don't want this to come across the wrong way, but why spend $1000 on a nice electric guitar and then not get any amp? Plugging your headphones in doesn't do anything, you can probably barely hear a signal coming out and it's mostly the acoustic sound anyways.
