The same spirit of innovation that drove Epiphone to push the boundaries of guitar design over 125 years
ago can also be seen in those who chose to play them; musicians who themselves were visionaries.
George Van Epps, Howard Roberts, and Joe Pass would make music history with Epiphone guitars, as would blues legend
John Lee Hooker. The most recorded song ever written, “Yesterday,” was recorded with Epiphone guitars the Beatles
purchased in 1964. It is an incredible legacy that continues today with Noel Gallagher, Lenny Kravitz, and other artists who
choose to make their music with Epiphone guitars.
Elitist '65 Casino
In 1964, The Beatles went “Epi” when George
Harrison, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney
bought Epiphone Casinos (the Epiphone Casino is mostly
associated with John Lennon). The Elitist ‘65 Casino is equipped
with a maple body, mahogany set neck, and a rosewood fingerboard, which imparts a
warm midrange sound. The custom-wound pickups add to its classic tonality.

Elitist Byrdland
The Byrdland is one of the most distinctive jazz
guitars in Gibson history. It was named after
legendary Nashville session greats Billy Byrd and Hank
Garland, who worked together to design it. Like the original, the
Epiphone Elitist Byrdland is essentially a Gibson L-5 with a
rounded cutaway and shorter, fast neck for quick runs and extended chords. Equipped
with two vintage-style humbuckers, 24k gold hardware, ebony bridge, AAA flame maple
back and sides, and solid spruce top, the Elitist Byrdland offers you vintage jazz tone at a
more affordable price.
