Cosmo had two of the regular Casinos in natural in stock and he selected the nicest one and then had the techs do the initial set up for me. He bought his used on eBay, whereas mine was brand new, sourced through my dear friend Peter Waldon at Cosmo Music in Richmond Hill, Ontario. In a recent Vlog, Mick took viewers through his own Casino experience.
I do not do everything that Mick does, but he and Dan do influence me, in very positive ways. This purchase, and I did buy it, I blame on myself, but with significant influence from distant bud Mick Taylor of That Pedal Show.
Why a Casino? Some odd desire to try to be John Lennon? Nope. That makes for a really nice instrument at a price tag in the realm of affordable for more people. Don’t get excited, this is not the long awaited US built version of the Casino, it’s the Casino that you can get today, built at the Epiphone factory in China.
