1961 Epiphone Casino E230-TD

 
 
 

Introduced in 1961 by Gibson, the Casino is the Epiphone equivalent of the ES-330:
same pick-up configuration and hollow body construction.
But with its white pickguard, and neat headstock design, it looks and feels somewhat different.
Keith Richards and Dave Davies from The Kinks were Casino players but it is the ultimate Beatle guitar as
John, George and Paul all owned and played one.

This absolutely stunning Casino is from the first year of production.
Not only it’s one of the cleanest and coolest Casinos we’ve had, it’s one of the first few fitted with the metal bikini logo.
It’s been played so sparingly that it’s not even been fitted with a second strap button!
Complete with its original mint tan case, leather strap plectrum case, picks, and strings.
