Vintage schmintage, the casino plays ok, but the old tuners aren't for spit. The SG is decent, still not worth the $$$ though.
I've got a tricked out Daisy rock MoJo JoJo Monkey that can shred that ancient stuff at one tenth the price.

The John Lennon Casino was offered as an 'exact replica' of Lennon's 1965 Epiphone Casino, including a 1965 tan/pink case with pink shroud. Note that the damaged guitar was also a '65, so its case would have been tan/pink as shown in the photo and video.
The Lennon Casino was available in a sunburst, which had the original (terrible) tuners, or in a plain, sanded finish, which had the replacement (Kluson?) tuners that Lennon put on it after he sanded the finish off the guitar.
The SG Goldtop was a limited edition model which was only available through Guitar Center and Musicians Friend, as far as I know. It, too, came with a special vintage case, as goldtops are associated with the 50s.
Standard Gibson cases are now black with no shroud.
