blimpo Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I bought an unfinished Casino. I'm planning on finishing it with nitro this spring. I have a hollow body Peerless (Gigmaster Standard) that has a bridge with a rosewood base and a tune-o-matic on top of that. It sounds good and I was wondering if the same type of bridge would work on a Casino. Just an idea. I haven't done any kind of measuring as far as bridge height goes...

Casino4Life Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I put a Gotoh 0167 bridge on my Peerless Casino, and it was quite a nice upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabar Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 A tune-o-matic will work fine on a Casino, but you can't use the rosewood base because it will make the bridge much too high --- the action will be unplayable on the upper frets. The neck angle on a Casino is designed to be used with a face-mounted bridge, not a floating wood-base one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsyseven Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I have this http://www.ebay.de/itm/130612374669?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 on my Casino and love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blimpo Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Yeah, I compared the two and the Casino neck is seated lower. I'm considering a Bigsby with a shaller roller bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungrycat Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I'm considering a Bigsby with a shaller roller bridge. Check out the Wilkinson roller bridge. It's a better design in my opinion, but Schaller is good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I'll look at the Wilkinson and Tonepro... The Wilkinson's are rock solid and the bridge itself is secured to the posts with four grub screws, great value for the money.
