frenchie1281734003 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 As of today, one of my old Matsumoku made Casino`s has come back home. My friend Marcus to whom I sold it to, a year or so ago, has only gone and bought that one guitar too many, which has made his better half put her foot down. He now has to sell three immediately and lose two others, one of which being this great old Casino, which is now on permanent loan back to me, I might add, that to soften the blow a little, my wife and I have lent his wife a Roland digital piano, also on permanent loan, thereby helping to save poor Marcus`s skin! Here is an old photo for now, with ohers to follow. Matsumoku made 1983 Epiphone Casino WR (Wine Red). Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny_2_owls Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Sweet looking guitar! My first "great" guitar was an 80's Matsumoko Casino just like that one! Wish I still had it too. I've had a couple since and an '84 Riviera is my main guitar now. Great guitars! Congratulations on getting it back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Johnny, and I totally agree, I think the Matsumoku`s have the best playing necks, all three that I have owned over the years, had better playability than my current "John Lennon 65", although the Lennon`s nice too.

Red 333 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Glad you got your baby back, Frenchie. Your wife sounds like a pretty cool lady, too, by helping you out the way she did, and not raising a rukus about another Casino. Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
