Hello, I have been selling with eBay from Japan so I can provide you the best service.
This item is sold out everywhere in Japan and very hard to get it!!
First come, first served.
◆Appearance of the item
Please check the photos for the detailed condition of the product.
Neck: Straight
Fret: 70%
Truss Rod: Unknown
Weight: 3006g
Epiphone CASINO VINTAGE Made by Terada Musical Instruments.
It seems to be a model that was produced for a short period in the early 1990s.
The neck has a 16th fret joint, over binding, and is made of mahogany like the original.
The body material is also of high quality with a soft quilted heather look.
It was previously given to me here, and was properly maintained, adjusted, and polished before being stored.
The pickguard was missing from the time I got it, and there was a lot of damage to the electrical hardware.
Almost everything except the pickup has been replaced, including the pod and wiring.
There is no commitment to originality, so the knobs are Gibson speed knobs,
The pickguard is carved from ebony and made by myself.
However, the number of extra screw holes has increased.
I used black for both the bridge and tailpiece to coordinate the whole thing.
The pickup cover was originally chrome, but it had rusted, so
I changed it to a nickel color with a calm color.
At the same time as replacing all four pods,
The capacitor was also changed to one with a capacitance of 0.033μF according to established theory.
As a weak point...
Although I have some experience, it is an amateur's work, so the soldering is not very beautiful.
Also, the paint on the back of the neck is cloudy.
It doesn't affect the feel, but it doesn't look good.
There is some peeling on the binding at the neck of the body near the neck joint.
It's hard to tell unless you look closely...
Toggle switches sometimes have poor contact.
There is no extreme wear on the frets, and there doesn't seem to be any major noticeable scratches.
In any case, it has been about 30 years, so there are small scratches, deterioration of the paint,
Is it due to sunburn?To put it bluntly, you can see yellowing.
Fortunately, the resin binding around the body does not seem to have deteriorated.
Please note that this item has been used for some time.
When I first got it, I replaced it with Ken Armstrong's pickup and used it,
Due to my preference for sound quality, I went back to the old P-90 that came with it.
I won't be using it anymore, so I'll give you the Ken Arm pickup.
Enjoy the difference in sound by swapping them out depending on your mood. (See photo)
In any case, the sound quality is lighter compared to hum... I think it's perfect for the Beatles (lol).
A hard case is included.
