If you don’t feel like hauling a large guitar around or you simply want a smaller version for easier access and convenience, then the Coupe certainly ticks all of these boxes. Overall we really like the size of the Epiphone Casino Coupe. This means you have easier access to the upper part of the guitar which can be a godsend for learners and those who want to move on from the beginning to a more intermediate level of playing.
On the original model, this is at the 16th fret while on the Coupe the neck and body meet at the 19th fret. Perhaps one of the big differences between the Coupe and the larger Casino is where the body meets the neck. It has the fully hollow body design of the original Casino but fits it into a smaller ES-339 body which is ideal for a number of reasons. If you like the original Casino but feel that you need something a bit smaller then this is definitely a guitar to consider. The Casino Coupe is a more compact version of the Casino and it is more on par with the Les Paul in terms of size but it is a lot lighter. We are going to have a look at the shape and size of this guitar, how it sounds, its reliability as well as some of the other features that this electric guitar offers. Even though the Epiphone Casino has been used by some of the biggest names in the music business, how does the Casino Coupe model stack up?
