John Lennon and George Harrison soon bought their own and used their Casinos on stage and at Abbey Road throughout the band’s career. By 1964, the Beatles were stars and when Paul McCartney went shopping for a new guitar that could feed back, he reached for a Casino. Maybe it’s purely coincidental that at the same time that the Casino was in its planning stages at Epiphone headquarters in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the Beatles were starting their historic run at the Hamburg Star Club. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band and The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds. It was an ideal guitar for stage and studio and can be heard on many landmark recordings including The Beatles’ Sgt. Though from a distance the Casino had the look of an ES-335, the Casino was a true hollowbody giving players a clear, ringing tone that could be pushed into overdrive when needed. The introduction of the Casino was a modern design that announced that Epiphone’s unique history would continue separate from Gibson’s. After the merger with Gibson in 1957, Epiphone moved away from making large archtops. The Casino Story For the Epiphone Company of 1961, the Casino was a small breakthrough. 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. 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.
