1963 Epiphone Casino E230-TDV

 
1963 Epiphone Casino E230-TDV
 
 

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 lovely Casino is nearly identical to Keith Richards’ 1962 model,
from the black pickup covers to the factory Tremotone.
It features a nicely figured top and comes complete with its original grey case.
