'Nuff said.
That is an AMERICAN MADE Epiphone Casino - made in Kalamazoo BY GIBSON - and is basically a Gibson ES330 with an Epiphone headstock. That guitar has NO CONNECTION with the Epiphone guitars of today.
I knew what you meant. Just wanna see you dot your Is and cross your Ts.Well yes, River - and they have also done Gibson USA made Epiphone Casino (Lenon) reissues recently as well - but saying "well, John Lennon played an Epi - that means they're good enough for anyone" as a way of exalting a Korean or Chinese Epiphone is silly.
I have an Epiphone Casino myself - it is Korean. I like it. I don't feel the need to draw a spurious correlation between it and John Lennon to prove its "worth" though - as there is really no connection to be had between vintage American stuff and modern Asian models.
Why do you guys give a flying fork what the YouTube copy-cats use? Their only accomplishment in life is getting people like you to pay attention to them.

"spurious correlation" - you've obviously been paying attention in school.

I was the Teaching Assistant for a "Research Methods" course my Sr. year of Undergrad. That is about the only thing I remember from my 4 years of BA courses! I'm proud of ya, man. Precious few people know "spurious", much less in conjunction with "correlation".
It is there, honest. The confounding variable is smoking cigarettes. Coffee drinkers are more likely to smoke, and smoking is a factor leading to heart disease - therefore there is a spurious relationship which could be construed to show that coffee drinking leads to heart disease. 
Ice cream kills. Fact, Jack.
