I'm unsure whether this was to differentiate it from the Natural Elitist (i.e natural finish, not 'stripped' or 'unfinished' like Inspired By JL or USA Assembled Revolution casino) or if there is a real difference or if it was to change the marketing angle once the casino was the only one being produced in this range to tie in with their historic thing of late. However, for a while the Elitist VSB was marketed as the Elitist 1965 Casino and on some websites is still being sold as such. There are two types of commercially available Japanese Casinos that have been produced in recent times: The USA assembled John Lennon Reissues and the Elite/Elitist. I also got confused by this at one point but this is the best I can explain it.
