Anybody know anything about his gear?...(in his surfing age on '63 more or less) i almost sure that uses a reverb fender tank and maybe a rickenbecker but i'd like to know more info...

Al used lots of different axes, not just Rickenbackers, but Gibsons, Hagstroms, and the odd Danelectro or two among others. No idea about amps, though.

"Clearly Al Casey liked the Hagström Viking. He is shown here with another, not the famed Deluxe/II, but a standard Viking 1 model from around 1967."

"Above photo shows Al, age 32, holding a Hagstrum V1, in 1968."

"Some easy surf-rock with Al Casey and the gang. In the late 1960s, Casey was approached by label owner Randy Wood about arranging and recording a set of current hits for a guitar ensemble with a slightly softer sound. Wood was hoping to attract a younger audience to his mainstream easy listening label, Ranwood. As "The Exotic Guitars," the concept won a respectable, if not huge, audience, and Casey went on to record several albums, each featuring his own arrangements.(Thank you Space Age Pop)"
