Toted by all three pickers of the Beatles, as well as Keith Richards and a whole host of others, the Epiphone Casino can be heard on many of the most iconic songs of the 1960s. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first A7 chord strummed on this guitar transports you back to Abby Road. The earthy snarl of the fully hollow body with warm, nickel covered P90 tone conjures up that sound that is instantly familiar. It is almost surprising how much of that classic Beatles tone is held in these mid 60s Epiphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar is set up well and is a joy to play. The neck is on the slimmer side at 1 5\/8ths nut width. With nice straight neck, low action and smooth frets with minimal pitting this guitar is very easy on the hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Epiphone Casino appears to have all original wiring, pickups and potentiometers. On 3 of the pots the date code is obscured by solder, but the last pot reveals a date of 1964. On account of the longer headstock, this places the build of this guitar in late ’64 or possibly early ’65. Earlier 65 instruments typically have a 1 11\/16ths nut width, while later ones typically have a 1 9\/16ths nut width. This guitar has a nut width of 1 5\/8”  which is smack dab in between the two nut widths. Necks on these mid 60s Epiphones often had an approximate 1\/16ths variance from one guitar to the next. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar received a refret sometime in the 1980s. The fret thickness is .080\" versus the standard 0.100 at the time. At this stage the guitar received a graphite nut and mahogany binding, replacing the white plastic up the sides of the neck. The original white binding is still in place at the end of the fretboard. The back of the neck was then oversprayed, ending at the body and base of the headstock. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar sports nickel P90 covers, and an original white scratch plate with the plain metallic pre 1966 “E” decal. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterestingly, the Trem O Tone tailpiece sports the ’66 and later raised plastic “E” logo. It is also chrome, rather than nickel. These attributes show that it is slightly newer than the rest of the guitar. The transition was made from nickel to chrome in ’65. Underneath the tailpiece there are two extra screw holes which appear to be from the original trapeze tailpiece. The original tremolo arm and clamp are not with this guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis style of vibrato tailpiece did come as standard on this model of Casino, and its fitment was done very early on. Possibly even before its initial sale. The original tuners have been replaced with contemporary Schaller tuners. The original case is also no longer with the guitar and has been replaced with a modern Epiphone case. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original bridge with nylon saddles has been replaced with a newer Gotoh bridge, sitting on the original posts and thumbwheels. The 21st fret inlay has been replaced at some stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecently the original Gibson ABR-1 bridge was recovered by the owner and will be included in the sale. It has 4 original screws and 4 of the original nylon saddles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no significant damage to this guitar. The paint is in great shape throughout with no signs of touch up or repair. There is light patina and checking on the headstock and subtle checking on the body. There are some small bumps and nicks to the finish as evidenced in photos, but, over all is in great shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite several modifications, this is a very clean example of one of the most recorded guitars of the 60s and a model that holds a high ranking in the history rock and roll.
