Transforming Standard Casino into "1965 Casino"


Casino4Life

Recommended Posts

I've got a 2005 Casino from the Peerless Plant in Korea, sunburst finish. I am wanting to "transform" it as close as I can to the 1965 John Lennon Casino. I need help with some getting the right upgrades. My onlyupgrade so far is a set of Grover tuners (not on the '65 Casino) I also want to know if an ABR bridge will fit on the Korean made Casinos. The other snag I am hitting is that I want to put a pair of Gibson USA P-90's on it, but I cannot find a set of nickel pick up covers that will fit (do not want black) Is there any place I can go to get these parts?

I don't think an ABR bridge will fit - the Asian Epis use 72mm bridge post spacing. ABR post spacing is 2-29/32" I believe.

 

All Parts has chrome (not nickel) P90 covers in pairs: http://www.allparts....pc-0739-001.htm

 

I got a set recently, and they have different pole spacing for bridge and neck pickups, are angled and different heights which you will need.

 

The set I got was from eBay, it was cheaper than ordering direct from All Parts.
