Japanese Terada Casino

that is a handsome instrument, indeed. what is the nut width? what does the neck feel like? is it a hog or maple neck?

 

Its a slim neck like the USA/MIJ Lennon models as opposed to the slightly chunkier Elitist neck which is more like my old '67 Casino. Its mahogany 3 piece neck, I will have to measure the nut, again it feels similar to the Lennon and slightly smaller at the nut than the Elitist.

Is this the same guitar that Jonny-2-owls used to own, and put up on ebay (U.K.) recently?

 

I would hazard a guess that the neck is actually a 3 piece Maple one, as most of the Matsumoku and Terada made(Pre-Elitist) Casino`s are.

 

Congrats on the Casino and enjoy [biggrin] .

Will have a closer look, its quite a dark walnut colour so its hard to see the grain through....

 

 

Yep it's the same guitar.

 

Sad to see it go but still loving the Riviera.

 

Glad it's gone to a good home!

 

Small world!, havent been on here in a long while, Is JerryMac still knocking about?

1 9/16" nut is what i'm told, with a slimmer than elitist neck. i keep hearing how awesome these are, even better than the elitists, but i don't know if i can go that small on the neck, much less the nut. it would require a leap of faith and trial period. makes me nervous.
