This specific '65 Casino is a reproduction of the original guitar John purchased with its sunburst finish and stock hardware. In cooperation with Yoko Ono, Epiphone introduced 2 Limited Edition Lennon Casino guitars in 2008. 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 1966, during the recording of Revolver, John Lennon and George Harrison acquired sunburst Epiphone Casino guitars. The Epiphone John Lennon 1965 Casino Electric Guitar has a heritage as fascinating as the man whose name it bears.
