The "Inspired by" 1965 Casino
During the recording of Revolver in 1966, John Lennon and George Harrison both acquired 1965 Epiphone Casinos. Representing the original state of this instrument, Epiphone's "Inspired by" 1965 John Lennon Casino retains its original vintage sunburst finish and all original hardware and appointments. Period-correct appointments on this model include the correct "burst" pattern on front and back, an accurate neck joint at the 16th fret (rather than the 17th fret), vintage Kluson-style tuners with small metal keys, a black plastic washer around the toggle switch, and the historically accurate rectangular blue label inside the upper f-hole.
The "Inspired by" Revolution Casino
Amid a growing trend for stripped "natural" guitars, John Lennon sanded down his Casino's original finish in 1968 and covered it with a thin, satin finish to create a natural (aka blond) look on the guitar. Around the same time, he also removed the pickguard and replaced the original Kluson tuners with gold Grovers, a popular upgrade of the era. Lennon first used his stripped "natural" Casino during recording sessions for The White Album in 1968, and this is how the guitar exists today. This instrument is represented by Epiphone's "Inspired by" Revolution Casino, supplied complete with gold Grover replacement tuners and removed pickguard and bracket (which are included in the case).
