Jayyj Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I have a quick question for any Japanese Epi experts on the forum: I have a Casino that for some reason I always thought was a Fujigen built guitar but this week I couldn't remember the year it was made so ran a check on the serial no and I can't find any reference to a Fujigen semi (well, except for a very old post on here by myself!). The guitar I have matches the Epiphone Wiki site's description of a Tereda made guitar predating the Elite/Elitist, so three piece Maple neck with 'Made in Japan' decal under the lacquer and a 17th fret body join. The serial number doesn't exactly match the format given on the Wiki page but it's a five digit code (no letters) starting with a 6, so I guess it's a '96. Am I right in thinking it's a Tereda build or has anyone come across a Fujigen built semi? I'm guessing most of these were built for the Japanese market as I only ever see Elitists or the earlier Matsumoko versions in the UK, and even they're not common. This one came from Ishibashi in Japan - I saw it on Ebay and fell in love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Can't really help with the original question, but will say that my 2010 Terada made Elitist Casino is just one great guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
