Bunky Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Getting a new elitist after finding my Byrdland wasn't suiting me. This time a Casino. It's in the mail. After moving some gear around i'll have this Casino, a new Rick 620 i just bought new, and a nice Squier Japanese vintage strat. I've got a 65 Showman, and next i want a Vox AC15hw1. Can you say Revolver to Abbey Road? Hehehe. My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunky Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 What do you guys think, should I take the pickguard off a la George Harrison and Paul Weller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaSTuS Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 What do you guys think, should I take the pickguard off a la George Harrison and Paul Weller? I would, and have done so on all my hollow and semi-hollows, especially if it has a wonderfully figured top, as yours appears to have in spades. It also gives a more symmetrical appearance IMHO.

DoubleWide Revival Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I vote for taking off the pickguard. That guitar is awesome looing. What kind of pickups are those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunky Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 It was a nice guitar, however it wasn't something that really suited my style sound. I think i'll cover most ground i need with the strat, rick, casino. Really though, unless your professional, we could all probably make do with one guitar. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunky Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 I've got a question. My Casino has 11's on it, and a wound G string. If I put a wire g-string on there do you think i'll have any troubles with getting correct intonation? I've heard this can be an issue, but not sure if it's common.

It shouldn't be a problem, the only way to find out for sure would be to try it, every guitar, even of the same model, is different and will act differently. You may have to do the intonation again but it should be able to intonate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunky Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Baaad move Bunky. Is it necessary to get a shim for your bridge pick up? I've heard of some people doing for volume or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your neck pup is noticeably louder it seems to be a common fix, just don't go overboard and jack it up too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
