ccannon1 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Both are P90 equipped semi hollow bodies, how different are their sounds? (I'm looking for a guitar that can handle both Jazz and Punk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanH Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Only the 'kat can do both genres well. The Casino is fully hollow and is prone to feedback when cranked. The 'kat, as pictured, is effectively a heavily chambered solid body guitar but with a ply/f-hole top. As such, it's not so prone to feedback. I did a review on my Wildkat in the Epi Lounge's members reviews thread if you're interested. Cheers Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got an Elitist Casino and a Wildkat, and the Kat is a far more versatile guitar. Alan's review is pretty spot on, so give it a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Of the two, I agree; the Wildkat....I don't own one yet, but I know what they are....Awesome fun well built tone monsters.......... P-90s for Jazz ?? Hmmm.....Consider 335s and 339s; mostly for the HBs.....But, yeah, the Wildkat...Only $399.00 !!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EpiphoneFan1989 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Is it right that the Wildkat is the little sister of the Casino? And how loud is a Wildkat without amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabar Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 To me they are very different guitars -- the only things they really have in common are the scale length and the pickups. P-90's behave very differently on solidbodies, hollowbodies, and semis, though. Maybe more like second or third cousins than sisters. Acoustically, my Wildkat is somewhat louder than a solidbody, but much less loud than my Casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morkolo Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I prefer the Wildkat myself, almost bought one but just never went through with it. Very versatile and has that nice bigsby on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicmaker99 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I had both (sold the Casino and regret it)... comparing the two is an apples and oranges situation. They are very different animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
