![]() ![]() While a trapeze tailpiece is standard on the Casino, tremolo options were offered with. Like other Gibson-produced thinline, dual-cutaway models, the Casino's body shape was adjusted over time. The Casino was redesigned slightly over its production run. Introduced in 1961, it is the Epiphone equivalent of the Gibson ES-330TD. I'll try to add pictures of the bare body as it is today and as it was originally too. The Epiphone E230TD Casino is a hollowbody archtop electric guitar. It’s far more ornate than the L-5 or any other Gibson archtop of the era, with a generous amount of binding, fan or cloud fretboard inlays, and Epiphone’s iconic. Here are pictures of the original wiring, which I don't have. Created to compete with Gibson’s legendary L-5 archtop, the retooled De Luxe boasted a big, 17 3/8-inch lower body width and Epiphone’s newly developed Frequensator tailpiece. Has anyone ever seen a Casino or ES-330 with this configuration? Can anyone point me to another model with such a setup? Does anyone have a wiring diagram showing this on any Gibson or Epiphone guitar? The only thing I can think of is the fifth knob on a Rickenbacker 325 or maybe a Gretsch configuration? Dunno! I don't know if the extra pot is a tone or volume, and I don't know why it would be on this guitar. I am 99.9% sure the extra pot (same correct codes) and hole in the horn (perfectly clean and like the others in the body) are factory OEM, but I have several of these guitars and have never seen anything like this. It has an extra pot on the treble horn, in addition to the normal neck and bridge volumes and tones, three way switch and jack. I have a 1967 Epiphone Casino that has an electronics configuration I have never seen before.
