Many young bucks might think of Epiphone as the cheap guitars at Guitar Center (which they are), now knowing about a time before Gibson owned them. Gibson acquired Epiphone in 1957 because they were their main rival (from the 30’s up until that time). The 50’s and 60’s were a golden age for Epiphone because they weren’t the cheap alternative that they are today – the quality rivaled that of any Gibson being sold at the time.

Epiphone Ltd Ed Elitist 1965 Casino Vintage

This Epiphone Elite Casino is in Excellent Condition, with little to no wear. Elitist “1965” Casino Vintage Outfit is an exquisite hand-made marvel that recreates one of rock and roll’s most legendary instruments. Elitist '1965' Casino Vintage Outfit is the ultimate Casino featuring the classic look, sound, and features of an off-the-shelf 1965 Casino, the exact same Casino that propelled hits by The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher of Oasis, and modern artists as diverse as Gary Clark, Jr.

When Gibson acquired the rights to Epiphone in 1957 the company had stopped producing bass guitars (because they just weren’t making money with them). It was becoming harder and harder to compete. Gibson was smart when they acquired the rights to Epiphone, they decided to take some extra Gibson overstock, and just slap the Epiphone logo on it. They shipped many of these models to dealers that previously couldn’t get Gibson stock. The Casino is a great example of a Gibson guitar with an Epiphone label. This model was first sold in 1961 as the ES-330. This model Casino is known as the Beatles model because all 3 members bought this guitar and used it extensively. This new Casino Elitist model has a few modern updates, like larger frets, grover tuners, and a second strap button. This is a light guitar that weighs about 6lbs, which comes with a tune-o-matic bridge and a bone nut.
