📚Description: Today we are taking a look at a 2000 Epiphone USA Collection John Lennon Signature "Revolution" '68 Casino in the Stripped Vintage Natural finish. These might say "epiphone" on the headstock but do not confuse them with the budget friendly epiphones of the late 90s/early 2000s. These were assembled in the USA with Gibson electronics and crafted in Japan's Terrada factory. Even not being a Beatles-head, this guitar is such a joy to play and I totally get why people ask as much as they do for these. I'd highly suggest trying one of these out!

That headstock though. Looks like huge black lips that are trying to kiss me. I pass. Although with a router and some paint you could reshape it into the open book Gibson type of headstock. Hope Epiphone will finally be able to use it I just can't see that atrocity anymore.

@kalebaldwin5398 Месяц назад

Paul’s is a 1962 model (with the older style headstock), and he bought it in December 1964. John and George bought their 1965 models in early 1966, just prior to the Revolver sessions. Other than the Bigsby on George’s and the little black toggle ring on John’s, they were pretty much identical. George also sanded the finish off of his and put on gold Grovers. It is Paul’s favorite electric guitar, though he seems to love his lefty Les Pauls as well.

@kalebaldwin5398 Месяц назад

@@TheQakmanBoth. He loves the sound and the feedback. But he is a sentimental guy when it comes to gear. He still has his first amp, and I believe he still has his first archtop acoustic from the Quarrymen days.

@RokinLee 2 месяца назад

So pleased you did this! Always wondered the differences to regular Terada elitist casinos and there’s quite a few. Cosmetics aside, I already knew about 5 ply top but the neck heel is different. Terada usually use a multi part neck heel (I have an elite 335 and casino elitist and they are the same). This one appears to have a completely solid neck heel. The pickups while looking similar (minus sticker for epiphone USA p90) read quite different a dc meter. Also both my Terada guitars came with Japanese pots - nobles? The pots use metric measurements. Fair to say epiphone put a lot of effort into the design of this guitar and it is substantially different from regular elites or elitists.

It plays and sounds just as this one does as well. It’s a very nice instrument! Thanks for reviewing this instrument! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🎸
