John Lennon 1965 Casino description:

The Epiphone JOHN LENNON 1965 CASINO 6-String Electric Guitar, 2 Gibson USA P90 Pickups, Mahogany Neck, Maple/Birch Body, Vintage Sunburst Finish. A classic, immortal guitar as used by John Lennon, now one of the most widely recognised and most popular electric guitars in the history of rock and roll.

The Epiphone JOHN LENNON 1965 CASINO is a re-creation of the original guitar John Lennon purchased with its sunburst finish and stock hardware. In 1966, during the recording of "Revolver," John Lennon and George Harrison acquired sunburst Epiphone Casino guitars. John was taken by his new guitar and made it his main guitar from that point on, using several different versions over the ensuing years. In 1968, John had his Casino sanded down to bare wood and finished with a thin, dull coat of lacquer. He first used this natural Casino in The White Album sessions of '68. Rock, jazz and blues are the best applications for the Epiphone JOHN LENNON 1965 CASINO. Own a piece of rock history that is bound to appreciate in value.
