PRELOVED 1999 EPIPHONE USA John Lennon “Revolution” Casino

The John Lennon “Revolution” Casino was introduced in May 1999 as a limited edition tribute to Lennon’s famous “stripped” Casino—natural, no pickguard, and built to capture that open, woody hollowbody bite heard across late-era Beatles and beyond.

Built to mid-’60s Kalamazoo tooling specs, it features a 5-layer maple/birch laminate hollowbody, spruce top contour bracing, and a one-piece mahogany neck with a 24.75" scale for that classic Casino feel.

Electronics and hardware are equally period-correct: “Gibson-factory” electronics, Gibson USA pickups, ABR-style bridge with nylon saddles, trapeze tailpiece, and Gold Grover tuners—all finished off in a “Stripped” Vintage Natural nitrocellulose sealer finish over white binding.

Why buy this guitar?

  • Iconic Lennon Casino vibe: stripped look, airy hollowbody resonance, unmistakable jangle and grind.
  • Limited edition history: originally part of a run capped at 1,965 total Lennon Casinos.
  • Premium “USA-assembled” era with Gibson-spec electronics and build intent.
