Members Danox3 Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 A shop around here had a real nice stop tail one used for $499 w/case, and I would go with my girlfriend at least once a month (she was shopping acoustic pickups) and spend the entire time playing it. If I didnt' have my Gretsch, I would have bought it in a second. Sadly last week, it was gone. What a fantastic guitar! BUY ONE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members johanwastaken Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'm having a bad casino gas too Going to buy one in 3 weeks when I've gotten paid. Not sure if I want bigsby version or not though. Is it really worth it? Or will I just end up using the bigsby for weird things but not for anything useful?

Members Mandooks Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 I get some feedback on mine when I'm playing loud and with lots of gain.Why lot's of gain, you ask? I only had my Casino with me and the other guitarist went into an old metal tune we used to play just to get my guitar squealing. I haven't found mine to squeal at all thru my DRRI cranked and playing about two feet from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members johanwastaken Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 DO IT... I did. Wow :love: That's so hot it should almost be illegal to post. Do you have any higher res pics? Wow. Do you find yourself using the bigsby much? Have you compared that to a regular Casino, does the bigsby add much to the tone? And that natural one is really hot too. If they had a bigsby version of it I would have a really tough choice. I'm gonna have to get 2 casinos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HeartfeltDawn Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 is no-one gonna say they suck? I've bought two in the last six weeks. First one was in cherry red and got sold on because the fretboard wasn't very wide. It was similar to the necks some Gibson 335's apparently had in the mid 60's, a 1 9/16" nut width. Last Saturday, I picked up a Casino I bought from Ebay. The seller was an absolute star, measured the neck for me before I bid, kept the guitar for me for two weeks until I could get down to London, and I ended up staying ta his place for two and a half hours. Much wider neck, perhaps a little less deep in terms of neck thickness than my previous Casino but it feels better to me. I know it sounds wanky to talk about neck width but there was 3 mm difference at the nut between the two Casino necks and I never felt comfy with the first one. I'll pop pics of my Casino up tomorrow. It's a natural one, 2002 Peerless made model, and the previous owner upgraded the pups to Kent Armstrong P-90's in black covers. It's a great rhythm guitar. I don't find it quite as slinky as my 335's and it's not quite as versatile as them for my uses but it does the rhythm guitar role superbly and the pups sound great.

Members Mandooks Posted June 19, 2008 Members Share Posted June 19, 2008 is no-one gonna say they suck? No cause they don't suck. Except that I get the notorious static build-up discharging into the P/U's which causes the occassional crackle, which sucks a little. It get's pretty annoying but I removed the pickguard and the guitar looks even nicer now. I'll take some pics tonight and load them up in high-res. I've played the non-bigsby Casino at GC and was actually gonna get one of those but I found this one and fell for the Bigsby. Very nice for little subtle vibrato. I didn't notice any loss of sustain but that's probably because the Casino doesn't sustain much anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IRG Posted June 20, 2008 Members Share Posted June 20, 2008 OMFG!!! Best casino ever!!! WANT!!! Thank you kind sir. Just bought it not too long ago. Brand new, MIK model. I think a 2003 model. My dealer had been an Gibson/Epiphone dealer, but since they didn't sell $100k a year, they lost the dealership, and they had a few left over that hadn't sold. So I sold a couple of things I didn't play much, and made the wise decision to get this one. Plays so nice, I just love it. Feeds back a bit when I use my Big Muff, but everything else is fine. Pretty aggressive pups, which I like. Nice and light too. Apparently the MIC necks a chunkier than the MIK ones. I like mine, that's all I know.
