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.
