@@michaelprivate8115 In the sense that the CBC did it to themselves and removed the Canadian element from coast to coast, then I might agree.On that note, the other Canadian broadcasters are just vessels for American programing.I wonder if Big Bang Theory is on right now?
I have that vibrato and it can be improved by taking it apart and lubing with graphite powder. The spring is a torsion rod and quite simple to dissemble, remove pin.
I love Casinos! I have a “coupe” of my own and a customer brought in 2019 USA full size Casino for some lacquer touch up (very nice). As always thanks for sharing!
I have an es330 of that era. Yes my small handed friend loves playing it. I remember swapping humbuckers into these guitars was popular in the 70s and 80s.thankfully now p90 prejudice is at an end now :) Merry Christmas
Paul McCartney has often said his Casino is his favorite guitar, and in addition to using it on for the famous solo on Taxman, and on Drive My Car and Paperback writer, I think he said he’s used it on every album in the past decade or two.
The Gibson version of the Casino was the ES-330. My father owns one from around 1962 - gifted to him from one of his guitar students. This particular guitar most likely started out as a Gibson ES-330 but "customized" by an employee who liked the name Casino better than ES-330.
This guitar has the Casino fret board inlays, which are slightly different than the es-330. I think it started out as a Casino. The headstock is from an ES-345, not as ES-330. When the headstock broke, it is possible that the whole thing was replaced. It is curious that the orange label is so faded and discolored. I have heavily used orange label Gibsons, but the labels maintain their orange color.
@@radrandall No, it started as a Gibson 330. Look at the headstock. It probably had the fretboard switched. OR like I said, it was a custom one off by someone who worked there for themselves. As for the crown inlay, for a 345, they simply used a 345 headstock overlay.
To see a guitar like the Casino , just amazes me. We as the audience can only surmise that you reach a lot of people. The word gets around that you can do just about any fix to an instrument. Folkways , I thought was tops for years. I think they got too expensive. A different set of business. They don’t teach ! Right out of the gate you have that great gypsy jazz tune that hugs the viewers . Thank you Ted for sharing … you are a truly amazing repair teacher of cool , fine and unique instruments . Merry Christmas to you and family . Alberta Dave 🇨🇦😊🇨🇦
Thank you Ted for all of your content. Learning new things about how guitars work that I never new before. Have a safe and happy holiday. Looking forward to what you come up with next year. -Cheers
Love the history and the setup. Thank you as always for sharing. Hope your holidays are relaxing and filled with laughter. Look forward to all of your endeavors in 2022.
All the best for Christmas and the New Year, Ted. I only "discovered" you during this year, and have been binge watching to catch up! Yours is now one of the first sites I check at the weekend for your new vids! Thank you for helping to keep us sane during all this current madness!
What a great red Christmas guitar! Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us again Ted. I have learned so much from you throughout the year and I am most grateful for how you generously share your hard-earned knowledge. Have a very Merry Christmas! All my best wishes for the New Year.
All the best for the holiday season! I loved the "hey good lookin we'll be back to pick you up later" reference. Nice blast from the past. Your asides I find very entertaining. Thanks much for all you do!
Nice and unusual guitar to finish the year on Ted. Thank you for all your content this year, and looking forward to the next one too. Have a great Christmas.
had some smashing video's from you this year, thanks so much for your time and effort, have a wonderful Christmas and new year, looking forward to next year cheers :)
Have a very happy Christmas and best wishes for 2022. Thanks for all you have shared with us through’21, always well worth watching. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thanks for the diagram about filing the nibs down too far. Very helpful. And thank you for all your videos. Safe and fantastic holidays for you too. For us all.
I have ‘63 ES-330 that I bought around Y2K. Absolutely luv it. Been toying around w/ doing a refret on it w/ taller frets. I will run the frets to the fingerboard edge to gain more acreage at the nut. A new nut w/ wider spacing will need to be made. This will help playability for me since I have big fingers… Also on the bridge post screws: Mine were loose & wobbley, causing the bridge to lean forward. I replaced them with stainless steel screws & superglued them in place. Along with that; I put another set of height adjusting wheels (orig were missing) against the top as they should be. Bridge is rock-solid now w/o any movement. ThxTed for sharing all your expertise on repairing guitars & your exclnt presentations…
It was a great year of videos, much appreciated. I have what I believe is a 1960 Frankenpaul Jr with a very similar neck. The head stock is narrower than the usual Gibson just like the one in your video. The Casino’s is the only other guitar I’ve seen with that head stock profile. I had an excellent luthier here in the Bay Area, Stephen White, do some work on it a few years ago and he believes it was probably made by a Gibson employee as a one off. Also just got your t-shirt and love it!! Have a great couple of weeks and I look forward to your 2022 videos.
Came across your site on the way to something else, but found your repair sessions relaxing and almost therapeutic; great skills, knowledge and narration.
Have a wonderful holiday, sir! And a safe, happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!! Thanks for all of the great content, Ted. Totally looking forward to 2022 with you!!
I just started to watch your channel, I don't do the guitar thing but love fine woodworking And learn from every one that is skilled at their craft . Keep doing your repairs I will keep watching.
Love the channel, even if I’m not Canadian! Ha Ha! You are a very good luthier! HHs and will be thrilled when you post a new video! Love from the lower 48! Thanxz
Have a merry Christmas and happy new year! It does seem like it's project time; I'm waiting on a package from StewMac myself, so that'll be a fun thing to be working on in the new year.
Interesting. A friend has a 335 with 345 parallelogram inlays, employee order. Goofy and nice. Stop tail too in 1966 well after trapeze introduced. Great content, the very best thank you
Interesting guitar.....not sure if I like it or not! Thank you for the videos and for some very informative conversation throughout the year. You and yours have a good and safe Christmas/New Year too. All the best from NZ.
Never have I seen such a tail piece as that. I do love the nylon saddles on the bridge. I had a bridge like this one on a late 60s les paul. "Back to zero" is a very good thing.
"Not a booger"...haha...✌ Thank you Ted for the technical details. Very interesting and meticulous. I always love the history part. Remarkable. Have a nice Christmas and a fruitful New Year. Stay safe. 🎶🎶🎶

“We known it’s an official Gibson because it has the proper headstock break”. What a gem!!!!
“It’s like a far more complicated, and yet less efficient Bigsby.” He’s got a million of them.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@mightyluv I drill a hole in both sides and pin those crummy Epi vibrolas in place with a couple of grub screws.
That had me laughing out loud
Haha yep i laughed out loud
You should have ur own CBC/ PBS television program. You’re definitely an old world artisan. Thank you,Ted and merry Christmas.
That would be TVO .,,and it would actually be a real homegrown educational program. He'd probably get too much interference though.
So true!
But if it was on CBC no one would ever see it!
@@michaelprivate8115 In the sense that the CBC did it to themselves and removed the Canadian element from coast to coast, then I might agree.On that note, the other Canadian broadcasters are just vessels for American programing.I wonder if Big Bang Theory is on right now?
I concur.
6:18 "a disturbing cutlet of dried sludge" is a phrase I plan to sprinkle throughout my conversations going forward.
“hey, good looking, I’ll be back to pick you up later”...now that is a blast from the past...awesomeness as always Mr. Ted!!!!
i lol'd at that mr. microphone reference.
"We know it's an official Gibson because it has the proper headstock break..."
If that isnt the funniest line here....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So true!! I knew someone had to have posted this!
"We know it's an official Gibson because it's got the proper headstock break" 🤣🤣
You beat me to the punch! So true...
@@pepppery Haha...very on target! I have 7 Gibsons [ 5 SGs ], and no headstock disasters yet, but there is still time...
Don't taunt the headstock gods. They'll come to your house and reenact the French Revolution if you're not careful.

Solid lol when he said this

I love these oddities; one offs, employee builds, transitional period offerings,… The original “prehistorics” are some of my favorite LPs.
Ted I'm shocked you didn't recognise the 'detune bar™️' that takes the guitar down half a step for transport and long term storage 😁
Lol.
Thanks Ted for a full year of interesting videos! So relaxing to hear you talk about instruments. Happy Holidays and see you in the New Year!
Thank you for the time you take making these fantastic videos! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours!
