in 1981,Ī few years prior to all this 'Vintage' insanity. I bought it, 'sight unseen,' from a fellow in Seattle Wa. That's a beautiful guitar Charlie' date=' really beautiful. Basically it is part of him, like an extra arm or something. My former guitar teacher has a 1968 Les Paul Custom which he bought new when they started making them again, and he has played it ever since as his main guitar. Did you buy the Casino recently as a vintage instrument, or did you buy it new in 1966? If so, it must be wonderful to own an instrument like that for all of its life. If it's not a rude question.in some of your other posts you mentioned that you gave up guitar for many years and then returned to playing. That's a beautiful guitar Charlie, really beautiful. Clapton's Red, Block marker, ES-335 was of the same body shape, as well. This was typical of both Epi and Gibson 'thin-lines' starting that year, or possibly even Paul Weller's '66 is the exact shape of mine.which is also a '66.LOL! (Yeah' date=' I know.DUH!) >)īut.As you can see, it's got more pointed upper bout 'horns' than the Lennon, or earlier Casino
