1Smoke1 Here, Hello everybody and you too Ed, LoL
When you gonna get out of those SC sticks and visit me up here in the MD sticks? Been hidin but still here listenin!!!

Anyone have any history on Kustom Kasino guitars?

Just got that red one off eBay last week and it has no SN or MFG markings on at all. They said it was a 70's but no proof here in any cavities or neck cavities are all clean. Has one HB pick up only with a Strat style hardtail bridge that the strings feed thru the back not thru body. 4 Bolt on maple neck. Body bright red with Black broken glass crackle pattern painted under a nice thick coat of lacquer. I think the body is Alder since its so light. Body is also thin just over an inch thick. I slapped in a set of vintage Jackson tuners until the chrome Wilkenson lockers arrive, a new FAT Overwound GFP HB with 2 new pots and put on some Strat bridge string sliders and this is now a good sounding and playing Axe.

Any history on these Kasino guitars would be Cool Cool

Thank, Smoke1

No REAL proof Confused

because there is no normal SN or any inspector markings on it anywhere. Just the neck at the tuners has big Black ink printed on it that says KASINO and below it in a smaller font is "A product of Kustom" I played it for an hour last night and again for another hour tonight and it plays and sounds real good but that is mostly because of all the new hardware is brand new and premo and the neck is straight with only a very small relief bow in the 3-7 fret range that is fine. I'm very happy with it. It's light, good looking and it's just Cool. I'm sure to sell it soon. Thanks, Anybody else out there know about Kasino guitars let me know if you have info.
I guess it might just be an Asian copy and someone just slapped the Kustom and Kasino logo on it. Either way it's a nice guitar now that I juiced it up. Shocked

No, It is all solid neck with a thin fingerboard. The Truss rod adjuster allen head is at the body end and you have to remove the neck to turn/adjust it.
