The guitar is quite heavy considering and I can tell that is all the original Stereo Varitone electronics in there.

Maybe the original owner didn't play with it on? So on one hand It looks so 'new' I wondered whether it wasn't original, but the store said it was original and the yellow blotchiness and warping tend to push me to original or at least quite old. need to bend the lower attachment thingy to lower it. it has yellowed in blotchy areas (hard to photograph) and there is virtually no scratch marks on the guard. No problems with the neck at all as far as I can see/play. but if my luthier recommends a full refret I have no issues (also I trust him implicitly) Cowboy chord frets are lower than the others, but not by much. again so minor to not really worth mentioning. aparantly in 65 the change occured to chrome parts and it was a toss up as to what you got when you ordered a Casino in 1965.Ĭouple of marks on the end of the headstock where it may have rested against something. All the nickel parts have that great tarnish look. The repair to the jack input does not look as bad (ie the black washer) in real life than it does in the photos. Even though there is checking in the nitro, there is still a great sheen on the paint finish as you can see in the pics below. the neck width is great, just like a Fender. A couple of marks on the back of the neck, but nothing of any consequence.

The Casino is basically as the advert photos had shown. any advice you can give about how one actually makes a posting to the Gibson/epi forum will be appreciated. but I am a Fender guy and maybe that is what they had back in the 60s.Īnyway. When I look at the new reissue Casino they say it has:ģ00k linear seems really strange to me. Before I get the Casino opened up by my guitar man, I'd like to know what sizes/types the pots are.

I would like to know if anyone has an actual 1960s Casino layout schematic for the wiring, so I can confirm what the pot sizes are for the Tone/Volume. The reason I joined the Gibson/epi forum is that I did a search of their posts and could find what I was looking for. ĭo you need to have that confirmation email replied to before you can post a new thread at the Gibson/epi forum ? I have requested it now again 4 or 5 times and nothing comes through on my email. but the confirmation email thingy never came to my email address. I filled in all the details and can log in. and as I am having trouble working out how to post a thread I thought I'd PM you here. I saw your name in the Gibson/epi forum when I signed up today. still can't actually believe it's here on laying on my couch.Īnyway. Saw the post you did in my 65 Casino thread.
