Super cool Epi John Lennon Revolution Casino fresh in our Vintage & Rare shop.This is number 864 of only 1965 made.
The Epiphone Revolution Casino Electric Guitar without doubt showcases Epiphone at their highest level of quality.
In 1966, during the recording of Revolver, John Lennon and George Harrison acquired sunburst Casinos.
John was taken by his new guitar and made it his main axe from that point on, using several different versions over the ensuing years. In cooperation with Yoko Ono, Epiphone introduced 2 Limited Edition Lennon Casinos.
The '65 Casino is a reproduction of the original guitar John purchased with its sunburst finish and stock hardware.
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.
The John Lennon Revolution Casino is a reproduction of this stripped guitar as it remains today, featuring one coat of lacquer, gold Grover tuners, and the pickguard removed.

But it was Lennon who became most associated with the instrument, most famously playing it on the infamous rooftop appearance of 1969.
