Epiphone Casino - Ltd Edition Inspired by John Lennon with Gibson P90 pickups
The “Revolution” Casino offers the same key features of John Lennon’s personal Epiphone Casino that he purchased in London in . Originally a Sunburst guitar,Lennon had it stripped down and added Gold grover tuners. This is the version he used for The Beatles White Album, Abbey Road, the rooftop concert for the Let It Be film, and his first solo work with the Plastic Ono Band. Similar to the Epiphone Elitist Casino this is a top of the range Epiphone and features Gibson P90T and P90R pickups. It has a nylon saddle to add to the authentic Beatles tone and has a beautiful natural wood finish with just a thin layer of lacquer. This Casino is as far away to the standard Casino as a Gibson is to a Tanglewood. The standard feels plasticky and cheaply made and the tone is lacking. Plug this Revolution Casino into a decent Tube Amp and the Gibson P90s will sing out with those classic Beatles tones. The Casino was used by Lennon, McCartney and Harrison and is said to still be McCartney's favourite instrument. Having said that, the Beatles and the 60's isn't all that it can do. The Casino has been used by countless Jazz, Rock and Blues artists over the years. This is a true hollowbody guitar in great shape. It has had limited use in my smoke-free home. There is one very small nick at the top of the headstock (see picture). There is also some light tarnishing of the metal hardware but this can of course be polished away. Comes with Epiphone hard case. Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
