) the Fab Four picked up three new suburst Epiphone Casinos. John and Paul used them extensively throughout the remainder of the Beatles recordings, Harrison used his but was also partial to his Les Paul (Lucy) and assorted Strats and Teles.

Originally posted by nicktheidiot:Anyone else reckon Stand Up Comedy sounds like it might be a Rickenbacker song? Possibly even the 6 string Dallas was said to have bought? And it sounds like the Zvex Fuzz Factory might make an appearance at 2:47-2:55, or maybe just the Supersonic Fuzz Gun? (Sorry if anyone's asked those before
Good to see alot of love for the Casino lately, such beautiful guitars

Indeed it was a Casino. If memory serves me correctly, in 1965 ('66?
The solo on "Taxman" is Paul on his Casino, "Sgt. Pepper" is a Casino, the fast version of "Revolution" is John on the same Casino he used for the Rooftop.
In '67 or '68 I believe, John sanded down his guitar to remove the lovely sunburst finish

However, the "Revolution" style Casino has become an iconic axe in its own right. I know Gem Archer and Noel Gallagher of Oasis have used that kind for assorted recordings and live performances. (Anyone know any others?)

Originally posted by WojBhoy:I've been thinking about it, and yeah I'd say something like a Les Paul for the solo, if not necessarily the whole song - I get a lot of hollow body feeling from the main part, probably the Casino or the Country Gent he's been using for Magnificent and Unknown Caller.
One I was thinking of though, I'd be willing to put money (if I had any!) on Edge having used a Strat. for Moment Of Surrender, especially the slide solo (really sounds like he flicked it to the neck pickup)
Thanks for the feedback, I gues we'll know it someday...
