The 'Inspired by' John Lennon Casino and the “Revolution” Casino offer professional musicians the same key features of John Lennon’s personal Epiphone Casino that he purchased in London in 1965. While models such as Masterbilts, Broadways, Wilshires, Coronets, Emperors and Texans are some of Epiphone's most memorable models, the Casino is arguably our most famous due to its close association with The Beatles. Epiphone has made a name for itself by producing some of the greatest and most innovative musical instruments for over 135 years.
