Red 333 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) They were made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, by Gibson. Gibson bought the Epiphone brand name and some of their manufacturing tooling and parts inventory in 1957, and began making Epiphone branded guitars shortly after in the Gibson factory on Parsons street, and later an adjacent building. At first, these were Gibson-derived instruments (basically rebadged Gibsons or new models based closely on existing Gibson designs, as opposed to the models Epiphone had been making in New York and Philadelphia when they were located there). The Casino, for instance, shared the top, back, and rims of the Gibson ES-335, and had Gibson P-90 pick ups; The Sheraton was a near copy of the ES-335, but with some cosmetic differences. Later, Gibson would introduce some solid bodied Epiphones of unique design, like the Crestwood. In 1970, Epiphone production was moved from the United States to Japan, and later South Korea, Indonesia, and China, and even Czechoslovakia. In 1984, Gibson moved from Kalamazoo to Nashville, TN.

Well, I meant the Casino, rather than being a design of the Epiphone company that pre-dated Epiphone's purchase by Gibson, was made from parts of the Gibson ES-335 (the 335 being the first guitar to have that shape body), and it had its top, back, and sides (but not its center block). The Sheraton (and Riviera) on the other hand had the center block. But yes, you are right, the ES-330 was the Gibson equivalent, being fully hollow. I just meant that the ES-335 was the grandaddy of Gibson/Epiphone thinline semihollow doublecuts. I probably needlessly complicated my original answer.

Oh, now I see what you meant, and indeed, the Casino design does sometimes get incorrectly attributed to the original Epiphone company. Just for a little more clarity, here are the initial release dates: 1958 > Gibson ES-335 & Epiphone Sheraton 1959 > Gibson ES-330 1961 > Epiphone Casino 1962 > Epiphone Riviera Only the ES-330 & Casino were fully hollow w/P-90s. The ES-335 had full size humbuckers, while the Sheraton & Riviera had mini-humbuckers. What a great era!

Pinch Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I think every Epi endorsee should play an Epiphone once in a while. Tony Iommi? Tommy Thayer? That's a little bit off-topic, but worth reiterating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gralst Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) I'm not going to go into a thorough history of Epiphone manufacturing as there has been some good information already offered in this thread. Quickly though, the original Epiphone company made guitars first in New York starting c.1927 and then in about 1953 production was in Philadelphia for a few years until Epiphone was sold to Gibson in a sale which Gibson announced on May 10, 1957 for the princely sum of $20,000. The purchase was ostensibly made to provide the jigs and equipment to make a line of stand up basses. but when completed it was discovered that there was a considerable stock of component parts and electronics included as well as a stock of wood . Some of which was burned in protest by former Epiphone employees who weren't happy with the sale. Gibson decided to put use of the parts by creating a second sales line, Epiphone. besides Leo Fender's Precision Bass pretty much killed the stand up bass market in popular music. This also allowed them to expand their sales network by being able to offer a Gibson-made product without infringing upon the exclusivity arrangements they had with their Gibson dealers. This was the birth of the Gibson iteration of Epiphone. In 1959 Gibson decided to replace their entry-level electric archtop, the ES-225 with a new model, the ES-330. Which was also fully hollow like the ES-225 but resembled the newer trend of thinline guitars like the ES-335, ES-345 and ES-355 although these models were "semi hollow" having a solid block down the middle of the body. In 1961 Gibson decided to issue an Epiphone version of the ES-330. This was the 230-E casino. The very first year the ES-330 and the Casino were nearly identical but as was Gibson's practice the following year changes were made to establish the differences between Gibsons and Epiphones in the sales market.. In fact 1962 there were changes through out nearly the entire Gibson product line. For the Casino the big changes came in 1963 when the headstock logo became a pearloid inlay (previously a metal plate), the fret board markers went from white pearloid dots to white pearloid trapezoids and the P-90 pickups went from having black plastic covers to nickel-plated covers. Paul McCartney's Casino was of this type being a 1962 model shipped from Kalamazoo on November 1, 1962 (serial number: 84075). McCartney obtained the Casino (along with his Epiphone Texan) at Christmas time of 1964. McCartney bought the Casino possibly on the advice of British Blues legend John Mayall after Mayall exposed McCartney to the sounds of American blues players such as B.B. King during their late night record listening sessions. Also in 1963 the headstock shape of the Casino went from a short, squat moustache type to a long, elongated shape. John and George were apparently impressed by the Casino (Though George had previously played a borrowed ES-345 on tour) so at the very beginning of the "Revolver " sessions in early 1966 they both obtained Kalamazoo-made Casinos. John's with a stop tail piece and George's with a Bigsby Vibrato. In summer of 1968 they both stripped their Casinos down to bare wood and applied a thin coat of clear lacquer for protection. The stated reason for this was because they'd heard that guitars without finishes had better acoustic resonance. In 1970 (though some models were shipped into 1971) Gibson ceased Kalamazoo production of all Epiphones and with few and rare exceptions there's been no USA Epiphone production (although I understand Gibson intends to market a custom shop-made Casino later in 2020 ($$$) All three kept their Casinos, John and George until their deaths and beyond (George's is kept at his Friar Park mansion and John's at the John Lennon museum in Tokyo). Paul still has his and it's kept at his Hog Hill Mill recording studio in Icklesham, Sussex England. Didn't intend to write a book but maybe someone found this useful or interesting. Hey, I gotta do whatever I can to get and keep that reputation thing out of the red. lol.

Red 333 I have it on good authority that the Casino, along with Mr. McCartney is currently in seclusion at his farm and studio in Sussex along with his daughter and her family but yes, he does use it on the road...are you aware that he has tour back ups for his 500/1, his Texan, his Casino and even his '60 LPS Burst? Ostensibly for "back up" but I also have a feeling they're used as "decoys" The video was made for Russia but is in English. I want Keith Smith's job.
