List of Epiphone players

January 01, 1970

This is a List of Epiphone players (musicians) who have made notable use of Epiphone Guitar models in live performances or studio recordings. Because of the great popularity of these models, musicians are listed here only if their use of these instruments was especially significant – that is, they are musicians with long careers who have a history of faithful Epiphone use, or the particular instrument they used was unique or of historical importance, or their use of the Epiphone model contributed significantly to the popularization of that particular instrument.


A

  • Brian Aubert (Silversun Pickups) uses a vintage sunburst Sheraton II as his primary guitar. It can be seen in several videos from the "Carnavas" album.

B

  • The Beatles made prominent use of Casinos. In December 1964, Paul McCartney purchased a 1964 Texan FT-79 acoustic and a 1962 Casino; early in 1966 George Harrison and John Lennon followed suit, acquiring Casino E230TDs which they used regularly on stage and in the studio thereafter.[1][2] Lennon's Casino, first used on the album Revolver, became his main studio and stage guitar both with The Beatles and as a solo artist.[1][2] Epiphone produces two John Lennon signature model Casinos: One is a sunburst model resembling Lennon's prior to his alteration of the finish; the second, known as the "Revolution" Casino, is a replica of Lennon's after he had his sunburst Casino professionally sanded down to its natural finish.[3][4] McCartney used his Texan acoustic extensively for songwriting; he also performed the song "Yesterday" on it during an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, and still uses this guitar to perform "Yesterday" in current concerts.[1] Epiphone has issued a McCartney signature Texan replicating this guitar.[5]
