Also the Epiphone USA P-90 supposedly wound like the Gibson P-90. Whether your MIC Casino has the P-90 Classic™or the Epiphone PRO P-90.Īlso note that the earlier Korean P-90's, I think, were wound like the P-90 Classic, possibly and not to forget the Indonesian P-90's.

Need to define which model you are talking about as the MIC Casino's use different pickups and whether you like sound of them is purely personal taste. There are 3 different MIC Casino's in production now, the Casino Coupe, Casino Worn and the Casino, each are slightly different with slightly different hardware and in the past more MIC model variations. Good luck with the wait, I hate buying something sight unseen but there’s not much of a choice these days. I’m guessing because there just hasn’t been any options in the past (MIC, MIJ or Vintage). As for the rest. I don’t doubt they’re worth it, but the price tags on the MIJ guitars seems a little inflated to me. Hoping they continue to manufacture (what is frankly a model that deserve a permanent place in the Custom Shop) in the USA. I almost went for the USA but again, the goal was to get something up a little cheaper (<$1k) to gig with. If the pickups are super hot then that may be a necessary swap. I’d suggest Thro Bak P90’s but they’re pretty pricey.Ĭongrats on your NGD! Casino’s are really great versatile Guitars! I own 3 & have the new made in USA on Order.

It will sound as good as just about any Casino. Both have Gibson USA P90’s, Switchcraft components & basically better everything.įor your Guitar the most I’d invest would be a set of Fralin, Lollar or Duncan P90’s & a really good Set Up. But, you’d be better off buying an IBJL or Elitist. You could sink many hundreds of dollars trying to make really great.
