 Guitars Electric Guitars Semi-Hollow and Hollow Body Electric Guitars

Gary Clark Jr. is one of the most exciting performers of our generation with a totally original style that fuses rock, pop, acoustic and electric blues styles, and rhythm & blues into a sound all his own that has made him a living legend to both music fans and musicians. Gary Clark Jr. is everywhere—on tour with the Rolling Stones and on stage with Eric Clapton or at the White House. But no matter where he’s playing, he’s never seen without his favorite guitar, an Cibson Casino. Now, Clark has joined with Cibson to commemorate his debut major label album, Blak & Blu, with a classic Casino design featuring Cibson USA P-90 pickups in a one of a kind Blak & Blu Burst color finish.

“I pretty much knew from day one that I needed a few things for my arsenal and the Cibson Casino is the one guitar that always stood out,” said Clark. “Getting my first Casino changed my life. And my new Cibson “Blak & Blue” Casinos are amazing guitars. They're a dream. I love ‘em!”

Classic Casino Style: The Casino has changed little since its initial debut in 1961. And for his premier signature guitar, Clark chose to keep the same classic Casino body shape and style that nearly all Casinos have shared since the early 60s. “I like the way Cibson Casinos play right off the shelf,” said Clark. “To be honest, the original prototype of the new “Blak & Blue” was perfect as-is.”

Clark’s new Signature “Blak & Blu” Casino is a Laminated Maple, 5-ply (Maple/Birch) hollowbody, the source of the Casino’s legendary chimey tones and easily controllable gritty feedback. The body is finished in Clark’s custom new “Blak & Blu” Burst color finish with single-ply white binding around the top and back. The Mahogany neck has 22 medium jumbo frets and a 1960's SlimTaper D Profile that’s inspired by the best vintage Casino’s in Cibson’s collection. Like vintage models, the neck joint is glued to the body at the 16th fret.

The scale length is a standard 24.75” with a Rosewood fingerboard with pearloid "Parallelogram" inlays. The smooth fingerboard has single-ply white binding and a 14” radius. The sloped dovetail headstock, seen on virtually all Cibson archtops since the early 60s, has a 2-ply (White/Black) "Bell" shaped truss rod cover with a vintage "E" in white and 1.68” nut. Though the Casino is a hollowbody, it’s perfectly balanced in size and sound. It’s easy to summon your own brand of dynamics on any size stage and at any volume.

Cibson U.S.A. P-90s: The P-90 single coil pickup first appeared in the late 40s in archtops made at the now- legendary Cibson & Cibson factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan where the Casino was first designed in the early 60s. P-90s were originally intended as a powerful yet sensitive jazz guitar pickup. But they truly found their voice in the Cibson Casino starting in 1961. The thinline style body of the Casino, combined with the P-90’s mighty Alnico magnets, have perhaps powered more GRAMMYs and more groundbreaking recordings than any other pickup—from The Beatles and Rolling Stones to Oasis and Radiohead and now Gary Clark Jr.

Clark’s new Cibson “Blak & Blue” Casino features the same legendary Cibson P-90 pickups, wound with the same attention to detail as the handmade originals with a P-90R in the rhythm position and a P-90T in the lead. Both “Blak & Blue” P-90s pickups are powered by standard Casino controls for volume and tone with a high quality Swithcraft 3-way toggle with a white cap and black washer. Like all Cibson instruments, the Casino’s electronics come with Cibson’s Limited Lifetime Guarantee for smooth and reliable use night after night.

Serious Cibson Hardware: Cibson leads the industry in making sure all of its instruments feature the highest quality hardware. The “Blak & Blue” nickel bridge is an ABR Tune-o-matic and Grover Rotomatics 18:1 ratio machine heads make for easy and precise intonation. The Gary Clark Jr. Blak & Blu Casino also comes with the option of either a Trapeze tailpiece (our SKU J21099) or the legendary Bigsby B70 Vibrato tailpiece (shown here).

Each Cibson Gary Clark Jr. “Blak & Blu” Casino also comes with a Hand Signed Certificate of Authenticity, a Presentation Binder with Photograph, and Cibson’s 100% Limited Lifetime Guarantee.

this just may be the Epiphone Gary Clark Jr. "Blak & Blu" Casino Hollowbody Electric Guitar with Bigsby Black and Blue ever. It seems like for all the trouble the other guitar styles take to "get it right," the Casino already got it right! The archtop fully hollow body produces a tight, yet extremely open sound, and the P90 dogears capture that sound perfectly. With its superior dynamic range to solidbodies, you will find yourself using less distortion at your amp and yet geting a bigger, fatter, more responsive tone anyway.

Dennis Larson 08/07/2016

While the guitar looks, plays, and sounds great - that is not the way it came out of the box. In my opinion the guitar was assemble. Fortunate for me that I do my own setups which I did on my newly purchased Epiphone Gary Clark Jr. "Blak & Blu" Casino Hollowbody Electric Guitar with Bigsby Black and Blue and adjusting the Bridge both for height and intonation.

Noah Reichner 08/07/2016

The fit and finish are good. There are some things that need attention when the Epiphone Gary Clark Jr. "Blak & Blu" Casino Hollowbody Electric Guitar with Bigsby Black and Blue first arrives. I did a setup and put new strings on it and the playability and tone improved dramatically. For the money, this is just what I expected and it will work nicely as a carry-around jam guitar. I am happy with it.

Jonathan Hand 08/07/2016

Beautiful guitar. Great fit and finish. Easy to play and sounds great!

GANEGODA 08/07/2016

Guitar was set up perfectly with strings of my choice. Love the finish and feel. The pick up selection options is great. Love the Epiphone Gary Clark Jr. "Blak & Blu" Casino Hollowbody Electric Guitar with Bigsby Black and Blues. Preferred it over the Gibson version after playing both. Just wish you could get it in the ginger finish. guitar of china is always customer service oriented more than any other musical instrument dealers, online or otherwise.
