darling67 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Those 6-digit serial numbers are tough to track. Epiphone used the same serial number system as Gibson. The best I could find is that your guitar could have been produced anywhere between 1970-1975—and perhaps even as late as 1977. But, the fact that Epiphone began making guitars in Japan during the early '70s, and yours is a Kalamazoo... that would lead me to believe your Casino is from 1970, 1971.....? Good luck!

flyingarmadillo Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 If the pickup covers are indeed chrome plated - 1967 If they are in fact nickel plated - 1963 The headstock would be a different shape between those years too.
