Like vintage models, the neck joint is glued to the body at the 16th fret. 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 Epiphone’s collection. The body is finished in Clark’s custom new “Blak & Blu” Burst color finish with single-ply white binding around the top and back. “To be honest, the original prototype of the new “Blak & Blue” was perfect as-is.”Ĭlark’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.
