You do have to hear it to believe it because the Coupe provides a great sound and performance for a wide variety of music styles. It also offers more resistance to feedback which is mainly down to its smaller size and you get a lot of resonance with this model too. The two P-90s on the Casino Coupe are ideal for playing a variety of sounds so you can range from rock, Jazz, funk all the way to blues. The hollow body allows for an acoustic session – although don’t expect it to sound as good as a fully acoustic guitar but it offers a lovely acoustic sound nonetheless. The great thing about this guitar is that it sounds absolutely fantastic and if you only have one electric guitar at home then we’d recommend it is this one. It is all very well the Coupe being the smaller version but if it comes at the expense of a great sound then the size difference will hardly be worth it. Probably the most important part of any guitar – how does it sound?

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?
