Elias Graves Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I actually went into the shop to have an old frankenstein amp looked at when I spotted this beast on the wall. I've always wanted a casino, but had never fout "it." Plugged this one into an old Princeton and it was magic. Nice sparkling P90s, all original with Epi case and barely a mark on it. A little finish fading, but, hey, it's 17 years old. Looks like a MIK model from 95. The turquoise color is really cool, but the guitar sold itself on feel and sound. Most all the new ones I've tried seemed heavy and kinda dull sounding. This one is barely 7 pounds and is quite lively. Who says poly doesn't age?

Blueman335 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Nice! I remember those turqoise ones, I like them, wish they weren't discontinued. I've got one of the black ones, another discontinued color. Nice guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaSTuS Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Tremendous find Elias, looks in very good condition, and a player too, congrats and HNGD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Graves Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Tremendous find Elias, looks in very good condition, and a player too, congrats and HNGD. While not a total case queen, it's pretty low mileage. I can't even find any scuff marks on the frets. Lol I haunt the local shops quite a bit but seldom buy anything. I've been wanting a csino for a while, but this is the one that grabbed me. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Graves Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 It's a beaut, EG! Congrats! Hope you've not sold that Gibby LP Junior though. I did! As much fun as that one was, it just wasn't for me. My act is solo...just me and the guitar. I need a guitar that has a big fat, full sound. The Jr rocked in a band, but I don't play in a band. The casino and my custom tele fill the bill much better. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNick Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 NO Damien, I don't have one either. I have a Washburn hb35 that I like. I got rid of a bad DOT about 7 years ago. That as close as I have gotten to a Casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
