Hi there' date=' look at this page...

 

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/compare?base_pid=518295&base_pid=518549&base_pid=518553&base_pid=518413

 

The Lennon Casinos have USA P-90's, the Elitist and the normal Casino "normal P-90's"

 

What is the difference?[/quote']

 

I think those Musicians friend spec sheets are a bit off, as far as I am aware, the Elite/Elitist Casino`s have made in the USA Pickups (whether by Gibson or not I am unsure). I have been told that the Elitist P-90`s are wax potted, and those on the Lennon reissues aren`t. Also of note, those spec sheets state that the Lennon Casino`s have Chrome h/ware, when in fact they have Nickel! So I would take most of what`s said there with a pinch of salt.

OK, they may not always be 100% correct but I kinda like these comparison pages that MF do. It's interesting to look at the options and price difference.

 

Just looking at it as if I where a buyer, I'd have to go with an Elitist for $ 1,000 saving over the USA Assembled models.... =P~
