Yes, it has the classic metal-covered-P90 tone - a hair less aggressive than 'regular' dogear pickups and with maybe a tiny scoop on the lower-mids. The overall sound isn't changed very much, though, and I often stick 'soundposts' in older hollowbody electric guitars to tame feedback for their owners, anyhow.Īll that out of the way: what do I think? Yes, it's the right size, shape, and feel. This 'soundpost' setup means it'll be a little less acoustically loud than a period guitar but it will have much less feedback, a bit more sustain, and overall it will be a bit more stable. It has hollowbody construction but there's a roughly 2x2' square mahogany post that bridges the top and the back under the bridge on the inside.

The second main difference is that it's not entirely a hollowbody guitar like an old ES-330, Casino, or ES-125T. I like that on a new guitar, anyway - it feels clean and can, of course, be a lot thinner than a modern gloss finish. The first difference is that this has a satin finish rather than a gloss nitro one. Homework was done when getting the details right - it handles and feels like the '60s beast it mimics, though with a few differences. It's Indonesian-made, but very high quality.

There's also an American-made model built alongside Gibson products in the Gibson factory. The standard Epiphone Casino (these days) is a Chinese-made model. Thoughts on value welcomed.This is a really impressive guitar. My understanding is that pair number 1 were given to Yoko. I've never seen any of these original 48 with the lithographs for sale. It's a really nice piece - see below with my guitar: These 48 came with a limited edition metal lithograph of John made by Peter Kellett. The first 48 were held back from the original launch and then released by Fullers Vintage Guitars - two of each number, a sunburst and a natural. They were limited to 1,965 and came in two finishes - one in sunburst, as Lennon originally got it and one stripped to natural to mimic how he tweaked his. It's an Epiphone John Lennon 'Revolution' Casino. Epiphone also made the cheaper 'Inspired By' ones more recently - but this is one of the preceding ones from around 15 years ago.

I'm after some help valuing a guitar of mine.
