Weird markings on my JL Rev

That's to mimic the patern left by John's original guitar having "Kluson" tuners. He removed them' date=' and

added Grover's later. The Kluson's left an impression, in the headstock. So, they do the same thing,

with the Reissue. Just for accuracy's sake. It's "normal!"

JEEZ...... that's crazy detail right there. I would had never thought Epi or any other guitar mfg. would be that detail. Pretty darn impressive=d>

 

One more thing I noticed is the headstock seems really thin in width at the nut in comparison to the opposite end of the head stock, it almost looks disproportionate, but still looks cool in a weird way.

 

The standard Casino headstock looks more evenly proportioned...... Or is it just my eyes playing tricks on me?

No, your eyes are correct...the '60's headstocks were wider at the top (widest) point, than the current versions....

The current ones are wider, but not as much so...so they are a bit more proportioned. I actually like the old version,

myself, but don't have any problem with the current version, either. You may also notice, that the "Epiphone" script

inlay, is a bit narrower in lettering, than current models. That too, was typical...and that script was (sometimes) a

bit lower, from the top of the headstock, on the '60's models, than it is on current ones. But, it varied...so it's not an "absolute" that way.

 

Congratulations, on your "Lennon" Casino. Awesome guitars, truly!

I wish they had done the script inlay in M.O.P. like the originals, and not in pearloid which they have!! Apart from that it`s a pretty close replica.
