![]() ![]() So the easiest thing was, it seemed, to get a well-regarded guitar that has that very feature that I want most. And really, I do want P90's: I had, briefly, a P90-equipped ES-137 Premier here, and I loved the sound, and so I have my heart set on that. I actually did consider getting an ES-135 and replacing the pickups if it had humbuckers or P100's, but for what a Gibson would cost, and what my budget is, I would be very hesitant to debase the value of a Gibson by doing things like that. Hopefully the Casino will work out as well as the Emperor.Īn additional consideration is that the Casino '61 Reissue seems to be a collectible guitar, so there is the possibility that it will appreciate in value. Although I have never actually played a Casino, I do have Joe Pass Emperor II which I love, although I have to add that is has been plekked, which might account for some of the pleasure I get from playing it. Well, somehow I came across a mint Epiphone Casino 1961 50th Anniversary Reissue, with original hardshell case, all paperwork, etc, and which comes equipped not only with TremoTone, but also with real Gibson USA P90's, and I decided to get around the "what kind of pickups are those soapbar things on that ES-135, Mister?" problem by buying that Casino. ![]()
