The Mick Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 my 78 pro deluxe. with 60's slim taper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 The so-called 60's neck. They are all different but in general this is it. You own a Casino, that is is even thinner than a 60's Gibson profile. Talking about Casinos, have you improved the nut and pots, mine are a joke but I have not gotten to it yet.

Talking about Casinos, have you improved the nut and pots, mine are a joke but I have not gotten to it yet.[/quote'] Yes, new bone nut, switchcraft toggle, pots, wiring and kluson deluxe tuners. My casino looked awesome but i was frustrated with the sound/tone and tuning issues. Drove me nuts and figured I'd sink a little money into it and see if I could make it sound as good as it looked. Huge improvement now she's a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 That IS sweet cookieman. How hard was it to fish all the wiring and stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 It's a royal pain but ya just have to tie everything to some fishing line and be very patient, get it right the first time and pull everything back through. Never want to do it twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 There were some thinnish ones in the early seventies - kinda random. Look for anything in the last ten years that says 1960 or Slim Taper neck on it. It's my preferred profile, got six of 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 One more question on the Casino if you don't mind. Did you use 500K pots for the volume controls or 300K? On the Les Paul neck you are just going to have to try them out, I recently grabbed a 60's profile at GC and it was definitely on the thinner side.

Riffster Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Agreed, I like them too. I was concerned that the 500K pots would make the guitar sound too bright, but then again I do not know what is in it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was concerned that the 500K pots would make the guitar sound too bright, but then again I do not know what is in it right now.[/quote'] The tone was so muddy and just plain crap that I figured 500k was the only option. I was at the end of my rope. It was a christmas gift from my wife and it was a beautiful guitar. It just wouldn't stay in tune and had an awful hum over and above the normal p90 hum. The tone sucked and I was ready to sell it off and get the elitest or a Lennon but figured I'd gut the sucker replace everything chinese with American and change the nut to bone. Well she came to life and now plays as purty as she looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
