Great guitars

Sure is, have a song tracked with it. What i like about it & 1 reason is very surprising.

It is a great singer song writer guitar that literally can translate recorded what you hear playing acoustically not plugged in to recorded tone . Which is huge for structuring vocals , it is such a good guitar to underpin a song, then build upon it.

Surprise reason, my gosh these p90's get nasty but better than any have experienced. I think it is the hollow body. It is like tension is built up & it explodes instantly when you hit the dirt or gain. What that has done is, doesn't need to be so loud like the Plexi gets. It breaks it so much quicker but no fundamental tone loss in depth or volume. Like it just adds slice , right above the rythym without forcing it,. It is just there !
 
Wanted to report back on the Casino. In my LR i hung 4 guitars, J bass, casino, V & tele. By design as the recording moves to rock(still heavies for sure) but space in the mix, breathing, openness. The song writing becomes much different. These 3 guitars are only on that wall because of their pick ups & what they do recorded.

The Casino, is place to start like no other. Even if it doesn't get the tracking. It is a pick up & strum (especially for me on call every moment i am alive for work) can pick it up & strum & what i hear right there unplugged goes very close into the amp & recorded tone. It allows for song crafting immediately when the moment hits. Then off to the looper in the band room quickly when i get a verse & chorus.

There is 6 songs on the mix & master pile now because of these recent guitars & the Supro amp & SL100 together is so good, so easy,

The Casino, like that is basically sets you up like an acoustic. Your natural hand position falls in place for chording very easily. It encourages exploration of more detail vs gain just covering everything up. These pickups, along with the T-type in the V are so good. Also, you don't even know the guitar in on you it is so light. got to be careful cause you tend to swing it around unintentionally, smacked a few things already because it is so light ! :BH:
