Shortly afterwards, John Lennon and George Harrison bought Casinos for the Beatles 1966 world tour. In absolutely stunning condition, near factory mint. Howlin' Wolf took a Casino on his first tour of the UK, appearing on Thank Your Lucky Stars. The Casino was first adopted by Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones who used a Casino to record the demo for “Satisfaction” at Chess Records in Chicago. First introduced in 1961, the Casino was just one of several new thinline archtops designed and produced at the company’s adopted new factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan that it shared with one-time competitor and new partner, Gibson. Since 1961, the legendary Casino has been Epiphone’s best-selling archtop and a rock ‘n’ roll standard.
The Epiphone Casino still has the same classic look, sound, and features that have made it the go-to guitar for two generations of artists including Paul McCartney, Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher, Keith Richards and Gary Clark, Jr.
