casterblaster Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 They say third time is a charm and they were right. Bought my 3rd casino and its a keeper. Cherry 'scratch and dent' from MF. No scratches or dents or anything else except the wrong screw (larger screw) holding the pick guard down. I noticed though that the sticker inside the upper bout does not have the serial number on it, it is blank. No problem for me, but interesting. Decided I should do my share to jump start the economy so I picked up an amp also. Crate V33H with 2 V212B cabs. It will definitely wake up the neighbors. The casino is the best, set up and strings were good out of the box, all it took was a little tune up and away I went. It appears to be a little heavier than the other casinos I had. I'll post a pix or 2 later swifty It don't mean a thang if it don't got that twang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eNo Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Sweet... Ya can't beat a good Casino!! So, what happened to the other 2?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casterblaster Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 The first one was a b-stock one that had some siginficant issues. The second was an elite with a scarfed up neck. I got really depressed when I had to send it back. It was in February and they said no more elites until June. Took me a few years to try again. I did get a sweet zephyr blues deluxe though. I really like the full hollow single coil guitars, they have a tone all thier own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabar Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Will this do in the meantime? It's a Carlo Robelli ES-500, made in the Peerless factory (which also made the Epiphone ZBD), and pretty much the same guitar other than the headstock, neck inlays, pickguard, and it has a Bigsby instead of the Frequensator (bonus!)

JefferySmith Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Looks kind of like my Washburn J-5 with flame maple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
