Casino ABS 1984 - possible replacements?

Hi there

 

I own a 1984 Casino Epiphone (bought in the UK in the mid eighties). I've played the hell out of it since, including putting my foot through it circa 1994 in a Hendrix/Townsend moment. I've calmed down a bit now and am more into BB King. Have though of buying an Epiphone BB King Lucille, but I'm sure the neck won't be a patch on the 1984 Japanese Casino. Would go for a refret, but the front has been patched up and given an ebony finish, so may not be worth it (the cost of a proper repair would be more than a replacement).

 

Any words of wisdom on a suitable replacement would be gratefully received. Is there any current model I could fit the ABS neck to? Anyone in UK with 80s Casino to sell - I'm your man!

 

All advice gratefully received.

 

Cheers

 

Rockin' Roger

 

P.S. And yes, in hindsight, I appreciate it would have been better not to put my foot through it in the first place. But, hey it's a unique guitar now...
