Model: John Lennon Limited Edition 1965 Revolution Casino

Condition: Very good

Description: 

A Epiphone John Lennon Revolution E230TD Casino in very clean, 100% original condition complete with the original John Lennon hardshell case. This is the limited edition version and not to be confused with subsequent "Inspired By" line of Lennon instruments, this was a top of the line Casino version built in agreement between Gibson USA and Yoko Ono with a total run of 1965 instruments worldwide, built between 2003-2006. Gibson was granted access to John Lennon's original 1965 Casino and used detailed measurements and photos create these exacting replicas. Featuring a satin nitro lacquer natural finish, Gibson USA electronics, and nickel-plated hardware with true to mid-1960s Gibson/Epiphone specs using fully hollow five-ply maple/birch body construction with spruce bracing.

This one is in very good condition overall and plays incredibly well. Body shows some light surface marks and some light cracks in the nitro finish (not in the wood itself), but is otherwise in excellent shape. Neck shows a decent amount of surface wear and marks but is structurally in great shape with no issues. Headstock shows some light surface marks but is otherwise clean. It appears as though the tuning machines have been changed, but that is not the case; This being an exact replica of John Lennons actual guitar it comes with gold Grover tuning machines and they even went as far as to install original style tuning machines then take them off before installing the Grovers to have the exact same appearance as the real thing. Fretboard is in excellent condition and frets show only very minimal wear. Hardware shows a good amount of pitting and patina but is all fully functional. Electronics have been thoroughly cleaned and work perfectly. P90's in this one sound phenomenal. Number 460 of 1,965 made. Literally as close as you can get to John Lennon's actual guitar, but not just a novelty- this guitar plays amazing, and is in great overall condition. Has been fully inspected and set up by our tech, ready for a new home. Incudes original Hard case.
