LIMITED EDITION
Left-handed casino
It may be pure coincidence that at the same time the Casino was in its planning stages at Epiphone's headquarters in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the Beatles were beginning their historic run at the Hamburg Star Club. In 1964, the Beatles were stars and when Paul McCartney went to buy a new guitar that could give him a comeback, he turned to a casino. John Lennon and George Harrison soon purchased their own Casinos and used them on stage and at Abbey Road throughout the band's career. Carl Wilson of the Beach Boys, Paul Weller of the Jam and Noel Gallagher of Oasis are just some of the players who made great records with Casinos.
