Epiphone - Brad Whitford's (Aerosmith) Casino Elitist Guitar, Sunburst, Used Live and in Studio (#31) Serial Number: T118603

WOW! Here's a rare opportunity to own a piece of history from the greatest American hard rock band ever.

After 50 years in Aerosmith, and a lifetime infatuation with guitars and amps, Brad Whitford accumulated so much gear that it’s overflowing his warehouse. He used this gear to create some of the most iconic rock and roll of our time. He selected over 170 of his precious guitars, amps and speakers and asked my help in finding them new homes with players and fans who will appreciate them as much as he does.

Serial Number: T118603

From the Brad Whitford Collection at Donn Bennett's Drum Vault.

This Epiphone Casino Elitist guitar was part of Brad Whitford's touring rig used on the Aerosmith's 2012 Global Warming tour. It is set up exactly as he used it in performances with Aerosmith. The guitar can be seen in his Premier Guitar Rig Rundown video below. In the video he refers to this guitar as a "back up" to his blonde Casino Elitist. Brad used a total of three Casino Elitists on this tour, one blonde and two Tobacco Sunbursts.

There are some very minimal signs of wear. It's been expertly cared for by the best techs in the business, and remains in excellent condition with nothing broken, damaged, altered or missing.

Epiphone Elitist guitars were made to very high specifications. These guitars cost more than twice as much as a standard Epiphone guitar. The Elitist series was discontinued in 2008, with the exception of the Casino model.

Acquired directly from Brad Whitford. Brad's guitar tech personally inspected the guitar. He adjusted the neck, polished the frets, oiled the fretboard, sprayed the pots and installed new strings. The guitar is in excellent working condition with no notable issues. The guitar is in as new condition. The guitar is identified by an Aerosmith inventory tag on the headstock. It includes Brad's hardshell case, one of Brad's custom Aerosmith guitar pics and a certificate of authenticity signed by Brad Whitford.

Serious offers considered.
