You're right Paul, at least the got the thin finish part right on the Revolution though I would much preferred it had they not put such a heavy tint in it.
I like the 1965 version and think Epi did a fine job on it though again I wish they didn't color the binding so dark if it was to be like an actual 1965 model!īut for all the hype with Lennon's guitar being inspected to make sure every detail was right is PR hogwash.
I do regret selling the Elite though even though I disliked the finish it cut more than the Lennon models. I eventually sold the MIK and Elite and kept the 2 Lennon Casinos figuring I should be playing them rather than keeping them around for a special occassions. While I thought the Elite was a top notch well built guitar I really disliked the thick poly finish and to me it felt like the guitar was encased in glass and screaming for air lol! The MIK felt like a toy in comparison to the others and lacked the nice acoustic qualities of the others. I've owned 4 Casinos at one point that included the MIK, The Elite and both versions of the Lennon Reissues.
