The Casino, which was first introduced in 1961, was just one of several new thinline archtops developed and produced in the company’s new factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, which was shared with the former competitor and new partner Gibson.

The Classic
The model was used by Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, who used it to record the demo for “Satisfaction” at Chess Records in Chicago. Howlin’ Wolf took a Casino with him on his first tour of the UK, where he appeared at Thank Your Lucky Stars. Shortly afterwards, John Lennon and George Harrison bought Casinos for the Beatles’ world tour in 1966.
It is equipped with Dogear PRO P-90 pickups and a body made of 5-layer maple. Available in Natural and Vintage Sunburst.
These models have no centre block and so that imparts tonally, helping that maple top resonate and helping to give the Casino its distinctive tone.

What exactly is updated on these models ?
According to the Epiphone site “New Finishes” though looks to be a relaunch of the three models
The Sheraton is pretty different than how they’ve been making that model since at least the 90’s; it’s now styled after the 50s/60s version with mini humbuckers and the trapeze tailpiece.
The Casino looks exactly the same to me..?
For the money, I’d recommend finding a used Eastman instead, but to each their own.
So Epiphone is dropping lefties?
The Epiphone site lists both Right and Left-handed versions as before.
Lol they’re literally pushing people to other brands with these price hikes.
