      Just picked up a stellar 1968 Domino Californian off eBay. Man it's a hot guitar. It's a Japanese Vox Phantom wanna be.. check it out. It's in pretty good shape, although it needs a bit of TLC. the jack / pots have been swapped out, but the owner sent the originals if I wanna try to rewire it. Sweet case too.

      Anyone else have this guitar? Ever played one?

      Our Guitarist has a turquoise one he picked off of ebay. It was basically just the neck, body, tremolo and pickguard. Put in fender 250K pots and a Seymour Duncan Phat Cat in the bridge with a jaguar bridge, and vintage style shaller tuners. That guitar sounds HUGE. It's his favorite "axe".

      I've seen similar guitars with different brands on headstock. I think they were made in the Teisco factory but don't quote me on that. A lot of the different brands from that period used the same factory. I've never heard of the Domino brand but there are so many different ones that it's hard to keep track!
      Those pickups are really cool, they can be quite microphonic, great for feedback solos!

      no -trash is a good fit for it. Been fighting with some dead spots but it sounds great -running through a black cat fuzz and a fender twin
