So I've pulled the trigger on a very special casino! I hear that these can be inconsistent, but this one plays beautifully. Rings true at every fret and absolutely kills that lennon thing.
I've been trying to pull together some history- but it's certainly been around the bend!
67-73 : Mystery Owner: (recently came into Guitar Colonel (Melb, Aus) with a scrapbook)- says he purchased it on Denmark St, Brand new at Selmer Music in 1967. Whilst attempting to clean it, he accidentally ruined the original sunburst, and had it professionally refinished in natural top.
73-?: Mystery Original Owner then allegedly sold it to Graeham Goble of Mississipi (which became Little River Band) who then sold it later in the 70s
7?-2014: some time in the 70s, it was purchased by a local, Melbourne-based musician who played it until his death, at which point the family which inherited the guitar. brought it in for consignment to Anthony of Guitar Colonel)
2019: me
Bonus: Graeham Goble playing this guitar at Sunbury Pop Festival, Australia, Jan 28, 1973
Cheers!
