The tuning was unstable - though I suspect this was down to the newness of the guitar, the strings and possibly a less than optimum cut nut rather than any more serious problems (the tuners seemed to work well and felt great). ![]() It was sloppily applied too, with some small stains getting onto the top. I hated the thick black paint inside the F-holes - almost seemed to be trying to hide the laminations (are they trying to hide something?). However this one felt nice to me with more of a medium profile. As I prefer a chunkier neck, I was worried having read about skinny Casino necks. I could imagine it feeling better still as starts to wear and smooth up a bit. It looked great(ish) and the matt finish felt very warm and tactile. It sounded great and the pots worked well - you could roll back the volumes without losing too much treble. I've no real experience of them but today I got to play a natural finish "Inspired by John Lennon" Casino and I was pretty impressed. I'm seriously considering buying myself a Casino. ![]()
