Think of Epiphone, and you probably think of Gibson’s sister brand. The story of that guitar is entwined with the story of Lennon’s most iconic performances and songs, the dissolution of The Beatles, and the development of his own unique musical style.Įpiphone & The Beatles’ introduction to the Casino The House of Stathopoulo One of the quintessential images of John Lennon is that of him stood on a London rooftop, wearing a fur coat, with an Epiphone Casino strapped to his chest. Also I didn't give fret numbers for the neck/body join and the halfway point as this will vary from model to model, and this method should be transferable to any model electric guitar.The enormous rise and ruinous fall of a migrant’s family-run instrument business, and how it put the ultimate songwriter’s guitar in the hands of one of the most famous musicians of the modern era. These measurements are my personal preference, but using them you should be able to get a nice low buzz free action. If both the above check out then it's just a matter of adjusting the bridge height just high enough to eliminate the fret buzz. Put a capo on the 1st fret, then fret on the fret one past the neck/body join, there should be a gap of between 0.40mm and 0.50mm (0.015' and 0.020'), about the thickness of a business card, between the bottom of the string and the top of the fret at the half way point between these two fretted points, check the low E, you can also check the high E to check for a twisted neck, both E's should be the same.

Fret the low E string between the 2nd and 3rd frets, there should be a gap of 0.15mm and 0.20mm (0.006' and 0.008') between the bottom of the string and the top of the 1st fret, repeat on the high E, you should only need to check the E strings on a pre-cut nut.
