ant7629 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hello all I got this MIK off ebay, which arrived today so I thought I would share some pics... I have never played a Casino before, I am truly amazed. Both unplugged and plugged in it sounds great. In fact I have never played a guitar with P90's either. The sound out of them is incredible. I don't understand why people change the stock pickups. I actually have another Casino on order which is MIC. I am curious to see the difference as this seems to be a hot topic on this fine forum. I will let you all know what I discover. I have also posted a pic of all of my guitars: MIK Casino MIK Dot Fender USA Tele MIK Acoustic, sorry don't know the model. Had it for years! See you all soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Very nice. That's one guitar where I would leave the pickguard in the case, mostly for increased Lennon versimilitude; besides I'm not that hot on white pickguards unless they're on a Strat.

ant7629 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Still considering doing that actually.... The only thing that puts me off doing it is having the screw holes showing. They do looking very nice without the pick guard as you quite rightly said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpach10115 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Put the 2 screws back in. This way you won't show any holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 G'day Ant, Congratulations on the new Casino, she looks great. Mine has quickly become my "go to" guitar because she feels so comfortable in my arms! The other "girls" are jealous but it was love at first sight. Sorry girls I can't help it. If you think I sound a little crazy then your probably right and I have 5 psychiatrists that will back me up. Dig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxst1281733995 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Looks like you got one that actually has some grain character... Most of the natural Casinos you see look really plain... I love the stock P-90s on mine too... The only thing I changed was the bridge... I also ditched the pickguard... Not really trying to make it look more like John Lennon's (mine's purtier than John's!), I just think it looks better that way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant7629 Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Your Casino looks really nice in the pic there Lerxst... I have heard that a lot of the MIC ones look "grey" and as you say, plain. When the MIC I have ordered finally arrives, I will post a full comparison of the two. Also, does anyone know where the best place for a hard case is? The best price I can find is £60 ($120). I want one of the new Epiphone ones (the moulded kind). Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwillow777 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Nice score - that Casino has grain to it. I think if I was gonna get a Casino it would be a natural. I gotta agree wiht the white pick guard, I'd ditch it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
