Description
What makes this guitar special: Modeled after John Lennon’s iconic 1965 Casino, and manufactured in Nashville, Tennessee alongside contemporary Gibson offerings! These Casinos are pretty rare, and increasing in rarity, having been discontinued long before the run reached the advertised 1,965 units (This one is number 893). This piece comes with all the original goodies, including a signed Certificate of Authenticity, a John Lennon pick, informational paperwork, and the ultra-cool brown leather case with John Lennon caricature. It has been professionally inspected and setup by our expert in-house luthier, and will arrive ready to play!
Cosmetic condition: Used but not abused, with some light wear present. There are various light surface scratches and marks from handling, along with some pickwear on the guard and visible tarnishing on much of the hardware.
Body: Double bound hollow maple body with dual f-holes in sunburst finish. Tune-O-Matic bridge with trapeze tailpiece. Multi-ply white pickguard with Epiphone “E” logo, and nickel pickup covers.
Weight: 6 lb, 1.1 oz
Neck: Nicely rounded C/D shaped solid mahogany neck with bound rosewood fingerboard, black side dots, and pearl trapezoid inlays. 1 11/16” nut width, 24 3/4" scale length.
