Description: Description Its predecessor dates back to the 1800s, and Epiphone boasts a long history that far surpasses that of Fender and Gibson. It has made innovative contributions to the musical instrument industry, such as the development of wah pedals and electronic tuners. Among the many models, the "Casino" became extremely popular because it was used by all members of the world-famous monster band "Beatles", and is the most popular model in Epiphone's long history. This time, we would like to introduce you to a legendary model among Beatles gear freaks for being the ultimate reissue of the 1964 Epiphone Casino. This model was ordered in the 1990s by with, a long-established Beatles gear specialty musical instrument store that is not only extremely well-known in Japan, but also has the knowledge of an advisor/mentor to the original brand. With the permission of Gibson/Epiphone, this model was produced in Japan with a high-quality finish, reproducing the very fine details that could not be completed in regular reissues. In addition, the previous owner upgraded it to be closer to John Lennon's specifications, making it a special instrument. The basic specifications of this Casino are a maple full hollow body, mahogany neck, and high-quality rosewood fingerboard, which is suitable for a limited production item with a black finish. The body top is made of carefully selected figures, which show that high-quality materials are used. Other features of the "with project" have also been confirmed (lacquer finish/Epiphone logo's distinctive i part/vintage style peg bush/two-point rod cover & e logo printed/17-degree head angle/fret edge binding fingerboard/16 fret joint/1P neck without joint extension/Gibson P-90 installed/flat E mark sticker on pickguard/blue label, etc.). And a more unusual point is that, in addition to the label serial number, which is only available in the later stages of the with project, the serial number "328393", which is the number of the instrument used by John Lennon himself, is stamped on the back of the head. This is a nice point for fans. In addition, the binding finish, the color of the burst in the paint, and the way the wood grain of the body back is brought out are different from the regular product, and the passion for pursuing quality is conveyed. As an added bonus, the previous owner replaced it with the original long tailpiece from the 1960s, nylon saddle, and ALLPARTS reflector knob. It is a perfect upgrade that brings the sound closer to John's specifications, such as the nylon saddle, in addition to the looks. *The tailpiece is fixed with a strap pin to avoid an extra hole. As for the sound, the first thing you will be shocked by is the wonderful raw sound. Despite the thin body, the large volume does not make you feel it, and the sound spread with a lot of sweet overtones makes you feel the reason why it is a famous machine Casino. The output from the pickup is also exquisite, and the nickel-covered Gibson P-90 suppresses the high-frequency range that is harsh on the ears, and only the parts with good sound are raised, outputting a wonderful tone that can be said to be the Beatles sound. The natural reverb amplified within the body and the crisp string bounce create a wonderful sound reminiscent of a vintage Casino. As for the condition, there are scratches, dents on the back of the head where the paint is thin, and paint cracks, but there is no major damage and no areas that would interfere with playing. Considering the year, it is in good condition. As for the neck condition, a truss washer has been added, but there is still room, it is straight, and about 70-80% of the frets remain, so it has good playability. As for accessories, there are no original parts to replace, a wrench, and a black hard case. The popularity of the With Planning Casino is tremendous, and even in private transactions, there is a history of it being sold for about 400,000 yen, so it has risen in price. When it is sold from a shop, the market price is expected to be higher than that, but this time, thanks to the kindness of the previous owner, we will be offering it at a surprisingly special price. It is a special guitar with a quality that will satisfy even those who already use Casino. If you are interested, please do not miss this opportunity.
