epiphone casino john lennon limited edition

I know that Epiphone also sold seconds of these guitars with a big R stamped into the back of the headstock. you used to be able to find it on the epiphone site as well in the 'Historial Collection', but recently they have changed it to 'An exact replica of John Lennons '65 Casino', with no mention of 'Limited Edition' with a BUY IT NOW!!!! The advert i saw in a magazine when i initially bought this guitar says 'A total of 1,965 of these individually hand-numbered instruments will be produced' I still have the advert! you can still buy this promo on ebay, and find the exact same sales pitch on numerous websites online. The certificate i got with the guitar starts of 'This is to certify that this Limited Edition John Lennon Casino.' The bottom left hand side of the certificate states number 208 /1965. Initially, when Epiphone released this guitar, it was sold as a limited.

Lets ponder that for a moment, shall we? i asked the guy at the shop at the time, and he said 'mate, i doubt we can get any more, its a limited edition. When i bought the guitar it cost me $4000 Australian Dollars, which was abit much at the time, but I just wanted this guitar so much.

The serial number is 208 so i was lucky enough to get one of the early ones. I have owned this guitar since 1999 and it is the most beautiful instrument to play and look at, I am very very proud to own my casino. I own a John Lennon Epiphone 65 Casino E230TD.
