Jack Fossett 1 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hey folks! Said I'd do this a while back, and here it is! A back to back shootout between my Standard Casino and Elitist Casino - Enjoy! Jack PS - the guitars pickups & wiring are stock - I took the pickguard off the standard, and on the Elitist I changed the pickguard to a black one, plus swapped out the grovers for grover locking.

cunningham26 24 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Awesome! I've been doing the research into a casino lately, and was absolutely looking for something like this. thanks for taking the time to put it together. I think there is a difference between the two, but it was surprising (maybe it wasnt) how the standard holds its own. I think that if you've got the money for the elitist it's definitely worth it, but the standard certainly gets the job done. I'll likely go standard, unless they find a way to do a nitro-finished elitist for a little more than the current run. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Fossett 1 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Thanks everyone! Glad you're all enjoying it. The Standard definitely holds its own, its a great guitar. The tone of the Elitist is slightly darker and woodier, and has a touch more liveliness, but overall they're both excellent. The other thing you'll tend to get with the Elitist is higher quality wood (the back of the guitar, which I didn't video tape, is stunning) and the Grover tuners, better quality electronic, etc. Plus the purple plush case lining! I wouldn't sell or trade either of these guitars though, and I've used them both in the studio, they both stack up against guitars that cost 2/3 times as much.
