Epiphone USA Collection John Lennon Signature 1965 Casino (Sunburst)


Epiphone's Casino is one of the most widely recognized and popular electric guitars in the history of rock and roll. Epiphone's original semi-acoustic, the Casino was the preferred guitar of John Lennon and The Beatles. The John Lennon "1965" Casino is a replica of the original Casino that Lennon made famous and used throughout his career. In cooperation with Yoko Ono, Epiphone introduced 2 Limited Edition Lennon Casinos. Yoko allowed Gibson to measure and document Lennon’s actual Casino that John used with the Beatles and during his sole career. The result is this limited edition, historically accurate reproduction. Andy Babiuk worked on this project with Epiphone/ Gibson. Includes a deluxe Lennon signature hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity.
