Epiphone Casino

The Epiphone Casino is a fully hollow thinline electric guitar that all three Beatles guitarists eventually adopted. Its P-90 single-coil pickups and hollow body produce a raw, resonant tone with acoustic-like responsiveness and natural feedback at volume. John Lennon's stripped-natural Casino is the guitar heard on 'Revolution' — its P-90s overdriven into searing distortion. The Casino's hollow construction makes it lightweight and resonant but prone to feedback, which the Beatles exploited creatively on recordings. Its versatility spans from clean jazz voicings to aggressive rock tones.
