The limited-edition 1961 Anniversary Casino will be produced in a limited quantity of only 1,961 instruments--each with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. These instruments will have all the original features not found on later models such as: the triangle metal logo badge on the headstock, dot fingerboard inlays, a blank two-ply, bullet truss rod cover, a tortoise-colored pick guard with foil "E", and black dog-ear P-90 pickups.

Other features include the correct burst patterns on front and back, a neck joint at the 16th fret (instead of the 17th), Wilkinson™ vintage-style tuners with small plastic buttons, and the historically accurate rectangle blue label inside the sound hole.
