Gary Clark Jr.Clark’s new Epiphone “Blak & Blue” Casino features the same legendary Gibson 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. 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. But they truly found their voice in the Epiphone Casino starting in 1961. P-90s were originally intended as a powerful yet sensitive jazz guitar pickup. The P-90 single coil pickup first appeared in the late 40s in archtops made at the now- legendary Gibson & Epiphone factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan where the Casino was first designed in the early 60s.
It’s easy to summon your own brand of dynamics on any size stage and at any volume.
Though the Casino is a hollow body, it’s perfectly balanced in size and sound.
