In the spring of 1966, during the recording sessions for "Revolver", John Lennon and George Harrison acquired a pair of Epiphone Casino guitars. The Epiphone Casino stands out as one of the most significant electric guitars used by John Lennon and the Beatles and can be heard on many of the most memorable Beatle recordings. By the mid-point of Lennon's career as a Beatle, when guitar manufacturers of the day would have done anything to get their instruments into his hands, Lennon often chose the Epiphone Casino over all other guitars for recordings, live performances, television appearances and films. In 1968, Lennon decided to "strip" the finish off his Casino. This is my newly acquired replica "Revolution" Casino. The John Lennon "Revolution" Casino is a faithful reproduction of his with a "stripped" natural finish as it was then and as it remains today. Only 1965 of these replica guitars have been produced.
