Other attention to detail includes the correct 'burst' patterns on front and back, a neck joint at the 16th fret (instead of the 17th), Wilkinson Vintage-Style tuners with white buttons, and the historically accurate rectangle 'blue label' inside the sound hole. Epiphone has faithfully reproduced these features for a one-of-a-kind retro look not found on Casinos produced after 1961. These include the pre-Gibson era triangle metal logo badge on the headstock, 'Dot' fingerboard inlays, a blank two-ply 'bullet' truss rod cover, a tortoise-colored pickguard with foil 'E', and black dog-ear P-90 pickups. Introduced in 1961, the original Casino had unique features that ultimately were never offered beyond that first year.
