BlueMeanie Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Does anybody have a link or site that can tell me what the actual weight of the casino is? Or if anyone has ever weighed it before? I can't seem to find any online..thanks very much! Best, Luis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Info like this is hard to get because the fact is that weights vary from one guitar to the next due to the density of wood used. Two cuts of wood even from the same tree can be different weights, because the wood nearer to the base of the tree will be more compressed by the weight of the wood from above as the tree grows. Therefore companies usually don't want to put up a figure because there's always going to be exceptions to the rule - that's why you can't find hard data. Casinos average fairly light though. They are "true" hollowbody guitars unlike many other f-hole electric guitars which are "blocked" inside for greater stability but more weight and less acoustic resonance. Casinos are also fairly skinny for a hollowbody so that also reduces weight a little. A Casino averages lighter than a Sheraton, Wildkat etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoop Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Yes, they're pretty darn light. You could play one all day and probably not get a sore back or neck from having it hanging from you the whole time. If you're used to playing a small, light-ish solid body like an SG, or an Alder bodied Strat or Tele, and you don't have any issues with those, then a Casino will be no problem, it's even lighter.
