The ultimate top of the line and by far best reissue Epi ever did. This is my 65 Lennon Casino..plays like butter and sounds just like the real deal.

Congrats.

I have a Revolution prototype in Lefty. Wish I bought both of these back in the day when I had the chance.

was shocked to find that every guitar has the exact same serial number Lennon had on his..the sticker inside differentiates the serial. They made 1,965 (1965) of them and I have #1213

They are the cousins of the 1964 Epiphone Sheraton John Lee Hooker … great guitars.

I have a revolution reissue casino limited addition (not the "inspired by"), a 2006 terada elitist casino and a real 1966 casino. the reissue sounded a lot better when i replaced the abr-1 bridge with a real mid sixties abr with original nylon saddles. very noticeable difference. I did this with my elitist casino and it is my favorite over the reissue revolution and the vintage casino. Both the sound and feel is exceptional, I am not sure that would be true for all elitist, maybe i just got a good one.
