Up for sale, a 2006 Epiphone Elitist 1965 Casino in near-mint condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. A discontinued upscale model produced in Japan at the Terada factory and loaded with a pair of Gibson USA P-90 pickups, this Casino has been augmented to resemble John Lennon’s legendary ‘65 “Revolution” Casino with a small black switch surround and “E” Epsilon truss rod cover.
Lightweight at 6lbs 8oz, the thinline fully hollow maple body has an acoustic tone that’s both articulate and smooth, with a lively, woody cut. The Gibson P-90 pickups are wound to vintage spec with plenty of midrange bark and a glassy, percussive quality. Highly responsive to picking dynamics, this Casino excels at detailed cleans and overdriven bark, offering a very faithful analog for genuine 1960s examples. This Elitist 1965 Casino benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Natural finish highlights subtle curly figuring in the maple on the top and back at the lower bout, with just a few faint scratches in the clear coat. The gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
