It looks like it was played a bit for a few years and respected while doing that. It has mild wear throughout the body and back of the neck from playing but overall it's in good shape. John Lennon with his Epiphone Casino in December, 1968, on the set of Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus. Repairs included: a fret level/dress, cleaning, and setup.Īction height at 12th fret: 1/16” overall (fast, spot-on)Ĭondition notes: the pickguard, tuners, and bridge are all replacements of better quality, though there are some old screwholes on the back of the headstock from the Kluson-style original tuners.
It's comfy and lighter-weight for a big guitar, has a quick neck, and is ready to roll. I'm thinking - rockabilly cleans, real bluesy dirt. It doesn't push the amp into distortion right away, though, which means it's not too aggressive. It has a big, ballsy, straight-up P90 tone to it when jacked-in clean and it sounds really nice that way - almost a real fat in the mids version of a DynaSonic tone.
Its bridge, pickguard, and tuners have been swapped for better gear than original and at least the pickup covers have been, too, as I've only seen these with chrome covers from the factory. This is a 2007, Korean-made, Epiphone Casino.
