The headstock retains the original Kluson-style tuners with lightly greened tulip buttons, turning smoothly and holding pitch well. The truss rod is responsive and ideally adjusted, and the neck is straight, offering low action in every register and effortless playability. The original medium jumbo frets retain their full factory height and have tons of meat, showing only light wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-8, playing cleanly in every register up the 24 3/4' scale. The smooth gloss finish on the profile feels great on the palm, and the bound rosewood fretboard features pearloid trapezoid inlay. The neck has a medium C-shaped profile carve with generous shoulder in every register, measuring. The guitar is featherweight at only 6lbs 12oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar and dialed in for optimal action and intonation with 10-46 roundwound strings. Whether you want dynamic cleans or thick overdrive, these pickups can produce either with ease and with a refinement beyond most other modern Casino reissues. The P-90s pickups are wound to vintage spec with plenty of midrange bark, and have a glassy, percussive quality. Stacking up well against the Elitist line, this Casino is expertly crafted and extremely well-kept.Īcoustically, the fully hollow all-maple body has an articulate and airy tone, capturing both the clear note attack of maple as a tonewood and the warmth of the hollow construction.
