Smeigel_12000 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Hi All, This is my first question on this forum. I hope to find some first hand experiences between these two tremolo systems. Today I will receive an Epiphone Casino Worn Olive Drab from my favorite guitar store. Because I frequently use a tremolo on my current main guitar (a Guild Starfire III with Bigsby), I want to place one on the Casino too. For some reason I find the Bigsby units to look to massive on the casino, so I was looking to put a Maestro long vibrola on (with the cover removed to make it look kind of like a normal tailpiece). My question is, how do these tremolo's compare to eachother (feel, stability, fit, etc.). Does anyone have experience with putting an aftermarket Maestro on a Casino? Thanks in advance, Smeigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen Bigsbys put on Casino’s (not sure how they do it cos there’s no support via a center block). But never seen a Maestro on a Casino. Maybe you can be the first? Don’t be surprised if in the long run the Casino’s top may have issues. Why do you think Casino’s ship with that trapeze tailpiece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeigel_12000 Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 Hi Hype, Fun fact, the casino actually has a thick piece of wood over the middle of the whole top. That's what holds the studs. I have no concerns about the top breaking. More about the string angle and tuning stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
