U2 performed on the Later...With Jools Holland show on BBC America & BBC2 on 10/21/2014. During the performance of the song "Volcano", The Edge was playing an Epiphone Casino Custom with Bigsby. You can see The Edge using it starting at 0:04, with the first upclose shot at 0:12. Throughout the rest of the video there are multiple up-close shots of the guitar. According to this [article](http://www.epiphone.com/News/Features/2014/The-Epiphone-Casino.aspx) from Epiphone.com, "the Casino was discontinued throughout the 70s and when Epiphone got back into action in the 90s, both vintage and new Casinos enjoyed a renaissance thanks to Paul Weller The Epiphone Casino, Lenny Kravitz, Noel Gallagher of Oasis, U2's the Edge, Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, Brendan Benson of the Raconteurs, instrumentalist William Tyler, and of course, Dwight Yoakam who has carried the flag for the Casino for years before designing his Dwight Trash Signature model." This statement leads this moderator to believe that this is the re-issue.

"At first, the Gibson ES-125 kind of changed my world as far as introducing me to the hollowbody sound. And then from there, I had my eyeballs on Casinos for a while until I finally got one."

Featured in this page from the Elite Guitars website. > The following photos are from the companion book to one of the best music documentaries that I have ever seen named "Runnin' Down a Dream."

It's a great guitar, but it's kind of tough to take it on the road because it feeds back at loud volumes. Even so, the last time we were in here rehearsing, the Casino is what I was playing most of the time.

Sonic Youth's [website](http://www.sonicyouth.com/mustang/eq/gtr115.html) states, about the Epiphone Casino used by Lee Ranaldo: "Used by Lee: 2002-2005 2002 -- F#F#AAEE (Shadow of a Doubt) 2003 -- F#F#AAEE (Shadow of a Doubt) 2004 -- F#F#AAEE (Shadow of a Doubt) 2005 -- F#F#AAEE (Shadow of a Doubt) NOTES: New Epiphone Casino used for "Shadow" on the North American Murray Street tour and beyond.

"And there’s the practicality. I have a lovely 1964 Epiphone Casino that I used on the album, but I bash guitars very hard – I have terrible technique where I hit the guitar as much as the strings! So I wouldn’t take my Casino on the road – I’d probably punch a hole straight through it. So I’ll always be a Les Paul man, live," says Dan Hawkins, in [this interview](http://www2.gibson.com/News-Lifestyle/Features/en-us/darkness-and-jimmy-page-black-beauty-0823-2012.aspx).

By looking at the trapezoid inlays of this guitar you can guess that Jimmy McCulloch uses an Epiphone Casino in this picture. I don't think that he is playing a Gibson ES or something like that in the picture because the E-sticker often comes off of the pickguard and there is no such an sticker on the pickguard in the picture. Also the Casino has not a Bigsby like in the profile picture of the guitar and also has not a white pickguard.

> I believe I’m using a pick on that, but yeah, it’s a repeated riff. I stuck with the part played on the original recording of that song even though it kind of interferes a bit with the bass, because it works for every change. I find that line to be fairly hypnotic, and as simple as the part is, it can be a challenge to play it all the way through the song without varying it. I think I played an Epiphone Casino on that track.
