As the Beatles’ music became more adventurous, the band searched for new sounds. McCartney bought a Casino on the recommendation of John Mayall, using it for Ticket To Ride, and Harrison and Lennon followed suit in 1966. It was Lennon who became most associated with the guitar, playing it on Sergeant Pepper’s... and the White Album, before immortalising it at the Beatles’ legendary 1969 rooftop gig. Lennon and McCartney both used their Casinos for the rotating solos in The End. Other notable users include Noel Gallagher and Johnny Marr, whose Casino is shown here.
