The Epiphone Elitist 1965 Vintage Casino is a semi-hollow body electric guitar delivering warm, articulate vintage tone. Its premium construction and vintage pickups provide authentic 1960s character. The Casino appeals to indie and classic rock players.
Zakk Wylde's 1989 Gibson Les Paul Custom, nicknamed The Rebel, started life as a stock black Les Paul Custom during the Ozzy Osbourne No More Tears era before Wylde painted a rebel flag across it out of love for Southern rock acts like the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd, later noticing Poison guitarist Bret Michaels playing a similarly painted guitar the same year. Over time Wylde further modified it himself, sanding the back and sides, relicing the finish, reportedly setting it alight, and covering it in beer bottle caps and graffiti, turning a stock guitar into a genuinely one-of-a-kind instrument. It runs Wylde's usual EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck active humbuckers with gold hardware, and while his Bullseye Les Paul remains his most recognized guitar, The Rebel has stayed a fan favorite in its own right.
