And to top it off, the “Dwight Trash” features Mini-GroverTM 14:1 ratio tuners. The truss-rod cover is 2-ply black/white in the traditional Firebird shape with “Epiphone Dwight Trash” in silver silkscreen.
Dwight Yoakam’s signature is on the back of each headstock along with the Elitist logo. Now, lead players who love to play melody lines on the low strings will have a deep, articulate twang while still maintaining the chiming, bell-like treble tones the Casino is known for. Dwight Yoakam Slash Nancy Wilson Vivian Campbell Emily Wolfe Emily Wolfe Sheration Joe. These USA models are somewhere in the middle, cosing just under 3000. For fans of the Dwight Yoakam sound who seek a low, almost baritone quality from the low strings but want to stay in standard tuning, the Reverse Firebird™ style headstock is a huge plus. Up until last year, if you wanted an Epiphone Casino, you had to get a vintage instrument (which could cost tens of thousands) or a cheaper import model. This allows bass strings to have a slightly looser tension and treble strings to have a higher tension while still retaining the Casino’s personality. For the first time in the history of the Casino, Epiphone and Dwight Yoakam collaborated to give the “Dwight Trash” Casino a Beveled Reverse Firebird™ style headstock.
Breaking New Ground: But it’s at the headstock where the “Dwight Trash” breaks news ground.
