His hands-down favorite guitar, the Casino can be heard on countless Beatles records, as well as many of Paul’s post-Beatles recordings. Paul got his Epiphone Casino in 1962, and immediately altered it for left-hand playing. Remember that Paul McCartney started out with the Beatles as a guitarist, and indeed played quite a few of the guitar parts during the band’s illustrious recording career. There was something magical about the combination of the Casino’s P-90 pickups and the tube amps of the day that resulted in tone that made Beatles songs instantly recognizable. The Epiphone Casino Coupe is the modern version of the legendary hollowbody thinline archtop that the Beatles used throughout their recording career.
