Members sk8centilli Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 Most will say you'll get feedback because it's a hollow body, but I bet you'll be just fine - The Beatles were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wulver Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 older garage rock, yeah I can see that working. the hollowbody feedback on a Casino can be, if not controlled, at least tamed to some level, and for that sort of music some extra noise wouldn't be a bad thing. Of course, try to find one and test drive it, but I can't find much reason not to get. what amp are you gonna run it through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members garagerocknroll Posted December 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 a fender deluxe 85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wulver Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 a fender deluxe 85 Not familiar with the Deluxe 85, but due to the number I'm gonna assume it's one of their older SS amps, which will give you a pretty decent clean tone to work with. I use a Stage 112 SE myself and just run dirt into the clean channel. Casino, combined with a Fuzz Face or a vintage-voiced overdrive like EHX's Germanium OD, something rough and gritty, and you might have something.

Members garagerocknroll Posted December 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 the reason im kinda hesitant about buying it is that i would be spending all the money ive saved up ( im 16 and dont have a job) so i want to know all i can about it before buyin it. so some advice would be helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wulver Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 Well, I mean, honestly, you need to head to the nearest Guitar Center and try one out, as well as other guitars in your price range, and see what you like most. However, yeah, as long as you know what you're doing a Casino should work well.

Members garagerocknroll Posted December 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 ive watched it about 8 times before. But yeah i just wanted some feedback from some live people instead of reading and watching the same reviews over again so thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 I wouldn't go there for garage tone. I have an Elitist version. I mean, it will work, but dude, as said above, they are a hollow-body. How about a nice Epi Riviera P-93 if you want to go in that direction. Cheaper and less susceptible to feedback. http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-Limited-Edition-Riviera-Custom-P93-Electric-Guitar?sku=516284 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members garagerocknroll Posted December 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 yeah i have checked that out and it does seem very cool. i guess ill just have to look around a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wulver Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 exactly. Really, I can't stress enough, find a guitar shop around you and try out EVERYTHING that catches your eye. Even some stuff that doesn't. Be sure to check the used stuff. find which ones match you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HanSolo Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 ... nice Epi Riviera P-93 That is an oxymoron. I tried one. Horrible. Stick with the Casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Oldskool Texas Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 Or should i just save a couple hundred bucks and get a mim tele. thanks. I love Casinos, but if I was a jobless 16-year-old looking to play garage rock, I'd get the Tele and spend the extra cash elsewhere in the rig.

Members humbuckerstrat Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 Get the XV-910 from GFS, it shouldn't have feedback issues as it's a semi and it's about half the price of a Casino. Plus, it has better upper fret access:idea: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sheraton Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 I love Casinos, but if I was a jobless 16-year-old looking to play garage rock, I'd get the Tele and spend the extra cash elsewhere in the rig. +1I really believe there is so much trial and error about what works best with and for what. With ebay, Craigslist and the Spam thread there are gazillions of used options out there. The cool thing is if you buy it right and it isn't exactly what you were thinking it would be, you can flip it at break even and try something else. Playing stuff in a store is a great start but it's always different when you get them home with your practice space, amp, setup, etc. I'd look for a used MIK Casino around $400 to play with. If you buy new and the feedback is too much or you're not thrilled you can sell it or trade it and try something else. New guitars are like new cars; you lose a big chunk of the value as soon as you leave the store. Used guitars are like cash, they hold their value as long as you don't screw them up. BTW, to your original questions, love the Casino. It works best dirty in my opinion. Ted Nugent plays a full hollow and controls the feedback partially by where he stands in proximity to the amp on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alfsboy Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 Modern Epis have some cheap crap fittings .They sound far better with total hardware upgrades like Gotoh so buy wisely and upgrade .The bridges and all fittings really are cheap and nasty .The pickups are just OK .You dont realize it until you change it all out .The guitar comes alive .The greats played high quality Casinos etc ,not cheaper copies from Asia .Its not the actual guitar thats poor ,just all the crap thats screwed on it .Even a good tuner upgrade stops some rattles.

Members flummox Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 Don't know if you've seen one of these, but this is a GREAT guitar, especially for the money. It doesn't feed back like the Casino, the electronics and hardware are very good and workmanship is excellent. Sounds like a cross between a Casino and a Ric 330. It was designed by a forum member a few years ago and Kurt from Rondo put it into production. http://www.rondomusic.com/harm1semifg.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
