yonkiman Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I got a beautiful new MIC Casino for Christmas. I love it but it rattles and buzzes like a sitar. That's fine, since I was planning to upgrade the hardware anyway (before I have it set up by a pro). So I was looking for recommendations (or things to avoid) regarding aftermarket bridges, tail pieces, P-90 pickups (looking for Beatle-ly 1960's sound - is it possible to get that sound in a hum-cancelling design?), electronics, even nuts. Anything that's fine as-is I'll leave, but it seems like the bridge at a minimum needs upgrading. Additional rattling might be coming from tailpiece or pickups, I'm not sure. All advice appreciated!

Larsongs Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Congrats! Casinos are super great & vesatile Guitars! Excellent choice. USA Gibson P90’s if you can find them. Next choice Fralin or Lollar P90’s. Switchcraft Jack & 3 way Switch. A proper B-7 Bigsby.. These mods aren’t too expensive & will turn it into a Tone machine! Let us know how it turns out.. Best of luck.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonkiman Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Thanks Larsongs. I'll probably pass on the Bigsby - I want to keep this guitar whammy-less (was never really good with a whammy bar in the first place). But really appreciate the suggestions.

I don’t use it that much either. A little bit once in a while. The reason I suggested a Bigsby is between my 3 Casino’s the ones with Bigsby or Tremotone have improved sustain...

stevo58 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) The cheap and easy way is to replace the bridge with a Gotoh wireless. If you want locking, a TonePro will work - it’s the same as the Gotoh with an added grub screw. The Casino uses a 1-piece bushing/threaded post, so the grub screw will do a number on the threads. I used a TonePro for a while, then I pulled the bushings and installed Faber hardened steel, which required enlarging the holes to 12mm. The Faber locking system is clearly better (no tilt), and the hardened steel bushings made a subtle but real difference in the bass response. But the Gotoh is fine for non-compulsive people.
