Best Answer

John Lennon and George Harrison were given Epiphone Casino Guitars in 1965; the idea was to promote the instruments, by having popular bands be seen playing them. Lennon later had the finish removed from his; Harrison said this allowed the wood in the guitar to "breathe", and arguably made it a better sounding instrument.

Lennon had played Rickenbackers from his early Beatles days, and likely wanted a change in style and sound, making the Casino his main guitar.

There both the same guitars with a different body the Les Paul will probably be a bit comfier but SG looks pretty cool but there are better guitars about depending on how much you want to spend look at Pevay look at the Shecter Guitars there very very good if you want a good hard rock with a clean sound you have to look at something with either two hum-bucker pick ups that you can coil tap (switch the pick up down to one coil),or have a single coil and a hum-bucker pick-up with a three way switch, or you could get the P90 pick ups witch are less meatier that's on the Epiphone's and they don't sound the best but that's me I'm quite picky just giving you and range on what you can get sorry if its quite complicated.

Where is the key for the elevator in Pokemon Red?

In Pokemon Red Version, you have to go to Celadon City and go to the casino. The casino is located slightly below the Poke Center and a little bit to the left, it is about the size of a gym. Once you have entered the casino go to the back past the counter. There will be a member of team rocket in front of a poster, fight him. After you beat him hit the A button on the picture, it will say something like oh look a switch and then ask you if you want to push it. Say yes, and then proceed to your right, a staircase will be there. This part you just have to fight everyteam rocket member on every floor you can get to. One member will drop the elevator key. It should be a guy in a really secluded spot in the building. Good Luck!! I hope this helps
