The bound rosewood fretboard is a particularly dark cut of this tonewood, featuring pearloid parallelogram inlay and flawless original medium jumbo frets. The neck has a very slender, fast-feeling C-shaped profile carve at the nut, with a gentle, almost imperceptible increase in overall heft as you travel up the fingerboard, measuring. The guitar is featherweight at only 6lbs 12oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar and dialed in for optimal action and intonation with 10-46 roundwound strings. The neck pickup is smooth and sweet-sounding, offering plenty of body while still being clear.

The P-90 pickups include the stock neck pickup and an upgraded bridge pickup of unknown origin.The bridge pickup really shines here, with the glassy articulation, treble sparkle, and thick midrange growl when overdriven emblematic of a great P-90. Crafted at the Peerless factory in Korea, this uncommon and discontinued iteration of the Casino stacks up well against the Elitist line, outfitted with a USA-made B12 Bigsby vibrato and an upgraded bridge pickup.Īcoustically, the fully hollow all-maple body has a particularly broad and authoritative natural acoustic bark and cut, capturing both the clear note attack of maple as a tonewood and the warmth of the hollow construction.
