Details

Noel bought this Casino in late 1995, advised by Paul Weller.
It was advertised in a newspaper, and Noel went to the seller's house to collect it.1

He mentioned the guitar in a November 1995 interview with Total Guitar magazine:

"I've just bought a Casino, which is the dog's knackers. I haven't used it yet because it's at the guitar's doctor being set up."2

The Casino can be seen played by Bonehead in a couple of images taken by Jill Furmanovsky during the recording sessions of Be Here Now.3
It was later used to record the demos for Standing in the Shoulder of Giants in 1999.

In August 1999, the Casino was sold (with some other guitars) to a London Guitar shop.

In November 2022 it reappeared at an auction, where it was sold for £56k.4
