These Epiphone Original Collection models are intended to celebrate Epiphone’s legacy of innovation and quality.
Casino
Since 1961, the legendary Casino has been Epiphone’s best-selling archtop and a rock ‘n’ roll standard. First introduced in 1961, the Casino was just one of several new thinline archtops designed and produced at the company’s adopted new factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan that it shared with one-time competitor and new partner, Gibson. The Casino was adopted by Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones who used a Casino to record the demo for “Satisfaction” at Chess Records in Chicago. Howlin’ Wolf took a Casino on his first tour of the U.K., appearing on Thank Your Lucky Stars. Shortly afterward, John Lennon and George Harrison bought Casinos for the Beatles’ 1966 world tour. Featuring Dogear PRO P-90 pickups and a 5-ply maple body, the Casino is available in Natural and Vintage Sunburst finishes; an Epiphone premium gig bag is included.
Broadway
For over 70 years, the classic Epiphone Broadway has been considered the ultimate hollowbody jazz guitar, but it’s also excellent for roots rock and other genres. Now, this legacy-rich instrument has returned with beautiful new finishes and comes equipped with Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers, a vintage-style gold Frequensator Split Trapeze tailpiece, and premium tuners. Gold hardware and other fine appointments like mother-of-pearl and abalone fretboard and headstock inlays add to the subdued class of this versatile archtop. Available in Vintage Sunburst, and Wine Red finishes, an Epiphone premium gig bag is included.
Sheraton
One of Epiphone’s most storied guitars, the Sheraton returns in both Vintage Sunburst and Natural finishes. This elegant instrument features a semi-hollow body crafted from layered maple with a maple centerblock for feedback resistance. The 22-fret, mahogany neck has a bound Indian laurel fretboard with block mother of pearl with abalone triangle inlays. The bound headstock has a historic Epiphone logo and tree of life in mother of pearl. Epiphone ProBucker mini humbuckers deliver a wide dynamic tonal range that finds a voice in nearly any genre. Gold hardware, including a vintage styled Frequensator Split Trapezes tailpiece, adds to the simple timeless aesthetic of this Epiphone legend; an Epiphone premium gig bag is included.

The Mick Ronson Cry Baby Wah taps into the vibrant, melodic character of one of rock ’n’ roll’s most gifted songwriters. Few guitar players have been able to combine a keen musical instinct with a profound grasp of how to bring a composition together like Mick Ronson. Laden with expressive resonance, his arrangements layered deliberately chosen tones and textures to build exquisite melodies and powerful riffs. The Cry Baby Wah, set in a fixed position to serve as a filter, was key to the tone-shaping vision that Ronson used to transform the face of popular music through his work with David Bowie and many others as both an artist and a producer.
We wanted to make that incredible Cry Baby Wah sound available to all players, and legendary producer Bob Rock—a friend and collaborator of Ronson’s—was there to help. He generously loaned us Ronson’s own Cry Baby Wah pedal, an early Italian-made model whose vintage components imbue it with a truly singular sound. Ronson recorded many tracks with this pedal, and Rock would go on to use it when recording numerous other artists. With matched specs, tightened tolerances, and a custom inductor, our engineers have recreated this truly special sound.
“You place the wah, and leave it there, and that's the tone,” Rock says. “It's all over every record he ever made, and I’ve used it on every record since I got it. Dunlop’s engineers spent the time and sent me the prototypes, and we nailed that sound.”
Mick Ronson Cry Baby Wah highlights:
- Tailor-made for Ronson’s signature fixed-wah tones• Carefully spec’d from his own wah pedal
- Custom inductor replicates higher frequency response and subtler peak
- Fast initial sweep with Instant reactivity
- Distinctive EQ curve from period-accurate components
- Special finish inspired by Ronson’s monumental work
The Mick Ronson Cry Baby Wah is available now at $249.99 street from your favorite retailer.
