guitar12 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I picked up a very gently used Elitist Casino on Ebay about 6 weeks ago and I'm loving it even tho I'm only playing it thru a Vox Amplug headphone amp (no time right now to look for an amp). Love the fit and finish and easy playability of this guitar. I took the pickguard off a few weeks ago to wipe down the guitar and want to put it back on now. The pickguard attaches in two screwholes, one a little south of the high 'E' string and the other screw hole is located on the side of the body. There is a little black felt washer that goes with one of the screws but I can't recall where it was situated when I took the pickguard off. I've tried to attach pics but can't get it to work.. I believe that the washer goes on the bodyside but just want to make sure from other Casino owners. Thanks. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeko Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 How about a picture? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar12 Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Here is a pic of the felt washer. I tried to upload a couple of other pics but it said that I would be exceeding my global limit. I went to Photobucket to upload them and insert a link here but Photobucket is just absolutely unusable these days. rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweed2 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 When I replaced my pick guard, the felt washer was at the "top" of the guard, next to the neck, between the body and guard. 50/50 chance, eh? Too bad on the picture issue, I'd love to see your Casino. Love mine. Not an Elitist, but with Lollars, a damn fine guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try again tomorrow to upload photos again so you can take a look at my new beauty. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibsonWarrior Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 The black washer sits under the scratch plate against the body allowing the screw to sit flush with the top of the scratch plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitar12 Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Ha, even tho Tweed and Warrior have given me the answer I finally figured out how to post pics so just so everyone knows what I was talking about here goes! It's a great guitar and nails the Beatles sound which is what I wanted it for. I had it setup at my local shop and it plays like a dream. I had them shim the bridge pickup so now both pickups are equal in volume. I think that the only other thing that I might do is change the pickup covers to black. It's a 2014 model btw.

bobouz Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Yes, the washer is for the screw hole next to the fingerboard, to prevent the pickguard from resting directly on the wood of the body & to help reduce the chance of rattling or buzzing. Also, note that if you want to change pickup covers, the original metal covers are soldered on, and changing to black plastic covers might alter the tone a bit. Elitist Casinos are great guitars. Congrats & enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
