Trying to find the value of your guitar?

Epiphone Elitist 1965 Casino
Epiphone Elitist 1965 Casino

You'll love the light weight and comfortable neck of the Epiphone Elitist 1965 Casino. The Elite series are instruments that approach custom shop perfection. Crafted with premium woods, fitted with American pickups and circuitry -even American-made toggle switches and Grover tuners-they're made at a special factory devoted to their manufacture where they receive a high degree of hands-on luthier attention. You'll find the Elite 1965 Casino true to the original made famous by The Beatles. A finely crafted, great-sounding, and easy-playing instrument that beautifully blurs the line between Epiphone and Gibson. Includes hardshell case

Allen Woody Rumblekat bass
Epiphone Allen Woody Limited Edition Bass Wine Red

Woody, who passed away in August 2000, was an avid collector of vintage Epiphone basses, and this signature model combines the features that Woody found best for playing in his aggressive, rumbling style. It has a semi-hollow, single-cutaway, archtop body similar to that of Epiphone's Kat series but without f-holes. The neck is a 30" short scale for easier play. Mini-humbucking pickups in the neck and middle position deliver a warm tone. Gold hardware.

Jack Casady Signature bass
Epiphone Jack Casady Signature Bass Guitar Metallic Gold

Deep, articulate tone and classic hollowbody style are the hallmarks of this bass. The maple body, mahogany center block, set maple neck, and rosewood fretboard conspire to create a sweet-playing bass you won't want to put down. Has a single low-impedance JCB-1 humbucker with VariTone control, as well as traditional volume and tone knobs. Pearloid trapezoid fingerboard inlays, body binding, and Jack's signature across the headstock set it apart.

Epiphone Elitist EB-3 Bass Guitar
Epiphone Elitist EB-3 Bass Guitar Cherry

The Elite series are instruments that approach custom shop perfection. They're made with premium woods, fitted with American pickups and circuitry -- even American-made toggle switches and Grover tuners. They are made at a special factory exclusively devoted to their manufacture where they receive a high degree of hands-on luthier attention. The EB-3 is a bass classic, made famous by Jack Bruce, with its SG-style body in bookmatched mahogany, a 30-1/2"-scale neck, a USA humbucker at the neck, and USA mini-humbucker at the bridge. Features:

  • Bookmatched mahogany body
  • Gotoh tuners
  • Rosewood fingerboard
  • 2-frets
  • One-piece mahogany neck set at the 17th fret
  • 30-1/2" scale
  • 1-11/16" bone nut
  • 20 frets
  • USA humbucker treble pickup
  • USA mini-humbucker bridge pickup
  • 2 volume, 2 tone, 4-way switch
  • Nickel hardware
  • Epiphone Zakk Wylde Les Paul Custom Bullseye
    Epiphone Zakk Wylde Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar Bulls-Eye

    Maybe you've lusted after Gibson's Zakk Wylde signature model and lacked the cash. Well, here's the Epiphone Zakk Wylde Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar, a more affordable take. It's equipped with a pair of sizzling USA EMG-HZ H4 pickups, glorious gold hardware, maple top, mahogany back, hard maple set neck with rosewood fretboard, and Zakk's signature bull's-eye paint job.

    Epiphone 1958 Flying-V Bass
    Epiphone 1958 Flying-V Bass Ebony Gold Hardware

    The same korina wood used on the original 1958 Flying-V bass bodies provides amazing resonance and light weight. Maple neck with a rosewood fretboard is set into the body and plays smooth with easy action from a short 30-1/2" scale. Humbucking pickups provide flawless growl and rumble while gold hardware enhances the vintage yet radical styling.

    Epiphone 1963 Firebird VII Electric Guitar
    Epiphone 1963 Firebird VII Electric Guitar Red

    Nothing looks like a Firebird and nothing rocks as hard as this 3-pickup monster based on the 1963 Gibson version. Features 3 Alnico V equipped mini-humbuckers with separate volume knobs and an original-style Maestro tremolo for a pure vintage vibe.

    Epiphone Revolution Casino Electric Guitar
    Epiphone Revolution Casino Electric Guitar

    The Epiphone Revolution Casino Electric Guitar without doubt showcases Epiphone at their highest level of quality. In 1966, during the recording of Revolver, John Lennon and George Harrison acquired sunburst Casinos. John was taken by his new guitar and made it his main axe from that point on, using several different versions over the ensuing years. In cooperation with Yoko Ono, Epiphone introduced 2 Limited Edition Lennon Casinos. The '65 Casino is a reproduction of the original guitar John purchased with its sunburst finish and stock hardware. In 1968, John had his Casino sanded down to bare wood and finished with a thin, dull coat of lacquer. He first used this "natural" Casino in The White Album sessions of '68. The John Lennon Revolution Casino is a reproduction of this stripped guitar as it remains today, featuring one coat of lacquer, gold Grover tuners, and the pickguard removed. A combined total of 1,965 of these individually hand-numbered, historic instruments have been produced, and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each goes to the BMI Foundation for the John Lennon Scholarship Fund, which supports music education. Limited lifetime warranty. Includes hardshell case.
