Members zedrahl Posted October 19, 2006 Members Share Posted October 19, 2006 Anyone heard of a 1967-1968 Domino Californian electric guitar and of the value of them? I recently acquired one that I am fixing up but the sound already coming out of it is unbelievable considering it was found in a shed just tossed in with no case. Just curious if it is worth anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fps_dean Posted October 19, 2006 Members Share Posted October 19, 2006 I don't know, but 1967 ads seem to sell for $25 on ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/1967-Domino-Californian-guitar-photo-vintage-print-ad_W0QQitemZ170040339610QQihZ007QQcategoryZ85852QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkSimpson Posted October 19, 2006 Members Share Posted October 19, 2006 I have a LeBan Cyclone that looks nearly identical. Mine came with original flatwounds, vinyl pinstriped gigbag, and matching "Model 43" tube amp. There were a few Japanese companies making copies of the Vox Phantom (?). I had two Domino's about ten years ago, typical MIJ stuff of that era. But I do like the sound of the pickups on my LeBan... Just wish the neck didn't feel so much like a 2x4.

Members zedrahl Posted October 19, 2006 Author Members Share Posted October 19, 2006 The pickups sound great. My guitar that I already owned has humbucker pickups so I am not use to the sound of the single coil pickups, but it is a nice sound. Really can't wait to start restoring this guitar. My only problem is that I am unsure how to paint it and get that beautiful glossy look. Is there a special type of paint I need to get or what?

Members sub006 Posted February 9, 2011 Members Share Posted February 9, 2011 The Leban's body shape and pickguard arrangement must have been inspired by a British Burns brand six-string. Their headstocks were shaped more like that of an acoustic bass. As used by the Kinks and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
