hilm3 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 So my '71 SG is in the shop for going on 8 weeks now (re-repairing a cracked neck that was coming apart from the 1st repair 24 years ago - long story) and I was going nuts with nothing to play, so off I went to the mega-mega to play the Epi's and not-Epi's and decided on a Casino. Found one on craigslist for next to nothing, with a hard shell case to boot, and looking like it had never been played. Rusty strings way out of tune and not a swirl mark or smudge to be found. Took it home, scrapped the plastic crud off the fretboard and soaked it in lemon oil, smoothed the fret ends and filed the casting burrs off the saddle, new strings, intoned. What a sweet guitar! Might need a tweak to the truss rod and I will polish the frets also. Pictures, I know ... tonight I promise. Plays like a dream, love the neck, stays in tune, great action. Don't have an opinion on the pickups yet as my Champ amp is also in the shop getting new caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonzoboy Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Congrats on buying the Casino, I have 2 Casinos and they are a joy to play.They sound fabulous through an old Fender tube amp such as the Princeton Reverb,Super Reverb or Twin and of course we all know how great they sound through a Vox.

Oldhippie Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Welcome to the forum and have fun with your Casino. I always find it very interesting to read from which country you all come from. That makes this forum so worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
