The Epiphone Inspired by John Lennon Casinos offer the professional musician the same key features of Epiphone's acclaimed John Lennon signature U.S.A. Casinos but at a more affordable price. Also based upon the 1965 Casino and the Revolution Casino, these two Inspired by versions combine the cost-effective workmanship of Epiphone's own factory in Asia with original Gibson U.S.A. electronics including classic P90 pickups with dog-ear, nickel plated covers and a Switchcraft made toggle and output jack.

The Inspired by 1965 Lennon Casino
In 1966, during the recording of Revolver, John Lennon and George Harrison each acquired vintage sunburst Epiphone Casino guitars. The 1965 Casino is a reproduction of the original guitar John purchased with its sunburst finish and stock hardware. Attention to detail includes the correct burst pattern and front and back, neck joint at the 16th fret (instead of the 17th), vintage style tuners with small metal buttons, black washer around the toggle switch and the historically accurate rectangle blue label inside the sound hole.
The Inspired by Revolution Casino
In 1968, John had his Casino sanded down to the bare wood and covered with a thin, dull finish. During that time, he also replaced the tuners with Gold Grovers and removed the pickguard. He first used this natural Casino during The White Album sessions in 1968. The Inspired by Revolution Casino is a reproduction of this stripped guitar and as it also remains today.
The Complete Package
Both Inspired by Casinos include a hard case while the Revolution version also includes the unattached pickguard and mounting bracket.
Support Music Education
As with all Epiphone Lennon guitars, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each goes to the BMI Foundation for the John Lennon Scholarship Fund which supports music education. Backed by Epiphone's Limited Lifetime Warranty and 24/7/365 day Customer Service, these new Inspired by Casinos capture the essence of the 1960's and the Beatles with their authentic looks, specifications and one-of-kind sound and feel that only a Casino has.

| I Didn't Go Wrong |
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| I've looked this over from top to bottom and cannot find anything to complain about. It appears to be well built and has quality workmanship. Those who say not to buy a China made guitar appearantly never picked up one of these. I see no reason why it will not last for years and years. |
|
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| As I have mentioned, I've only had mine for a few weeks and I have all the confidence that it will serve me well for many years to come. |
|
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| I've had this guitar for a couple of weeks now and I really can't find a fault with it. The sound, playability, finish and build all are better than anticipated and worthy of a higher price tag. |
|
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| I did lower the bridge a bit but otherwise it is easy and fun to play. |
|
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| Experiment with the settings and you will find that you can get most any sound you may desire. |
|
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| The finish is awesome. I have the Vintage Sunburst and it is beautiful. |
|
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| The set up out of the box was fairly good although I did lower the bridge a bit after a few days. |
