Thanks for the compliments. Pretty geeked and waiting sucks.
The seller actually has/had several guitars that were burgundy mist--a Riviera, a Sorrento, and another I don't remember. She's still thinning out the herd, I think. While we were there, she pulled out a '78 Strat that had a beautiful red-orange paint job. Really cool lady and we all sat around and talked about guitars for a while afterwards.

That does look lovely. I always fancied one of those, I just hadn't realised how much until I saw this.

that is a nice find plaidbeer and I'm glad you finally settled for it, look after her. i would be tempted to take the pickguard off but the colouring looks nice. Upgrading the tuners will definitely add to tuning stability.

I didn't know it was even an available colour before this thread but burgundy mist works very well on these. Great job picking that one up. You won't regret it.

I really love my Casino (its chineese)..
I have a mexican deluxe strat, but I play the Casino way more..
Wanted to put a bigsby, or upgrade the saddles..
But havnt got around it yet.
The burgundy color is beautiful, trully.

Question about strings--I used 10s on my BT Jazzmaster and was fine with that, but since the Casino is a slightly shorter scale and hollow-bodied does it make a difference? Also, should I stick with nickel-wound? Going for full on jingle-jangle.

I used the same strings for all of my guitars; I find the fatter necks and a little bit lower tension is nice. If you're unsure, just try both, strings are cheap.

It will be fine, I doubt you will notice.

My god, that looks like pure sex. So jealous! You better enjoy the shit out of that geet!

Thanks. I'm going nuts right now. I won't have it back until roughly this time next week (which will be 3 weeks since I last had a guitar). I'm fighting off the temptation to go buy some used Epi LP Special just to have something to play until then.Sparky wrote:My god, that looks like pure sex. So jealous!
