The '65 Casino is a reproduction of the original guitar John purchased with its sunburst finish and stock hardware. In cooperation with Yoko Ono, Epiphone introduced two Limited Edition Lennon Casinos.
John was taken by his new guitar and made it his main axe from that point on, using several different versions over the ensuing years.
