{"product_id":"03-2800005733068","title":"[SN 328393 45of1965] USED Epiphone \/ Limited Edition John Lennon Revolution Casino Natural [03]","description":"A limited-edition signature model—replicating the beloved guitar used by John Lennon of The Beatles in his later years—is now in stock, with only 1,965 units available worldwide!\u003cbr\u003e \nThe Revolution model recreates the stripped-back, natural finish that John Lennon favored from 1968 onward.\u003cbr\u003e \nProduced in 1997 with the cooperation of Yoko Ono, this high-end model was created after John’s actual guitar—which had been stored at the Dakota House—was thoroughly measured. The wooden components were meticulously assembled by Terada Gakki in Japan, and the electronics were installed, followed by final inspection and setup, at Gibson’s headquarters (Gibson USA).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThis instrument is an extremely rare early-serial model, manufactured as the “45th” of a limited global run of 1,965 units. The serial number “328393,” engraved on the blue label on the back of the headstock and inside the F-hole, is identical to the serial number on the actual 1965 Casino owned by John Lennon himself.In this limited edition series, “328393” is engraved on the back of the headstock of every instrument as a tribute to John’s original guitar.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nIt features a 5-ply maple and birch construction that faithfully reproduces the Kalamazoo Factory specifications, along with a one-piece mahogany neck and a fingerboard crafted from carefully selected, high-quality rosewood. Another notable feature is the extremely thin, single-coat satin lacquer finish, which recreates the appearance of the original sunburst finish having been stripped away.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nFurthermore, every iconic detail has been faithfully reproduced—from the traces of the nylon saddle and the replacement of the original Kluson tuners with gold Grover tuners, to the original holes left after removing the pickguard, the screw remaining at the neck end, and the poker chip plate attached to the toggle switch. The guitar also comes with a replacement black control knob for the front volume control.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nIt is equipped with Gibson USA Alnico-V P-90 pickups. It is characterized by the superb natural resonance produced by the thin lacquer finish and high-quality 5-ply body, combined with the sweet, harmonically rich tone of authentic USA-made P-90s—the quintessential Beatles sound.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nWhile there are some minor scuffs on the headstock surface, paint irregularities at the tip of the headstock’s back, and some tarnish on the hardware, there are virtually no signs of wear, indicating that it was carefully stored.\u003cbr\u003e \nIt comes with a full set of accessories, including an early-production brown hard case with no signature on the lid.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThis is a guitar that lets you experience the special atmosphere unique to the early production run, marked as “No. 45.” It is an extremely rare specimen and is in excellent condition, making it highly recommended as a collector’s item!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* Please note that due to the nature of this product, we are unable to transfer it between stores.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition Grade: B+: Some minor scratches, but no issues with normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: 328393 45of1965\u003cbr\u003e \nYear of Manufacture: 1999–2000\u003cbr\u003e \nCountry of Manufacture: United States\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Hard Case\u003cbr\u003e \nAccessories: Limited Edition Certificate, pickguard, black control knobs, manuals, cloth pouch, wrench\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 2.89 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: No issues; rod movement confirmed up to 60 degrees to the left and right with no problems\u003cbr\u003e \nRemaining Fret Height: Within normal range; fret height is sufficient for playing\u003cbr\u003e \nString Height (Low String Side): 2.0 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nString Action (Low String Side): 1.7 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nNut width: Approx. 43 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 628 mm (24.75\")\u003cbr\u003e \nRadius: 305 mm (12\")\u003cbr\u003e \nStrings at Setup: ERNIE BALL 2221 \/ .010-.046 set\u003cbr\u003e \nRepairs and Maintenance Performed: Cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, string height adjustment, and fretting surface leveling\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, or other imperfections that are not clearly visible in the photos or not listed here.
