Description
What makes this guitar special: Limited to a total of 1965 made, this gorgeous guitar is number 1901 & is based on John Lennon's 1965 Casino finished in vintage sunburst. The guitar is exceptionally clean & comes with all its official documentation including the Certificate of Authenticity. These rarely come up for sale, but when they do the demand is very high & they sell quickly. Don't miss out on a great opportunity to own a super cool, Limited Edition Lennon Casino.
Cosmetic Condition: Excellent condition - very clean & close to new with only mild surface scratches. The only issue with the guitar relates to the case. One of the combination wheels has seized & is not functioning. Therefore, we do not recommend closing the combination latch. All other latches are in perfect working condition. The guitar has been fully inspected & is in perfect working condition. After it was photographed, the guitar was cased up & tucked away. It is not on display in our showroom & will remain cased until sold.
