SOLD: 2001 Epiphone Casino - Turquoise w/Bigsby

RiftAmps

I've had this guitar for 10 years now, imported from the States in 2007. Added some chrome knobs, switches, and B7 Bigsby - chrome and turquoise always looks great. Since buying my '67 this doesn't get played as much, despite being louder unplugged. It's a great workhorse.

- Peerless built
- Mojo Pickups Casino pups
- Think I installed CTS pots at some point, can't remember
- Bone nut
- Setup for 10s
- Non-factory Bigsby B7
- Epi hard case

£400 PPG gets it, free UK courier delivery.

Thats lovely indeed!. I suspect Mark modelled his pups on my original Casino which he owned briefly after me buying it back!

That. Is. All. Kinds. Of. Awesome.

Never seen a Casino that colour before, and it's blooming marvellous! Wish I had some pennies!

@RiftAmps Sorry to keep this thread going but how did you find the Mojo pickups?

My own Casino was very dull sounding so I had the pickups rewound.
The results were better but they still sounded dull. They got a better when I took the metal covers off but my plastic replacements are a bit of a botch job.

Was thinking about buying some Mojo P90s, as he's one of the few makers who do a proper Casino sized and spaced replacement set but they only come with metal covers. Just wondering if they have that sparkle that I've heard in other Casinos/ES330s? I realise it's difficult to be specific but any thoughts would be appreciated.

@Basher I too had the original pickups rewound on this, twice in fact. Once by BareKnuckle who did a terrible job and made them sound even worse (if that's at all possible!), and the again by my friend Mark at Crash pickups. He did a much better job but ultimately the bobbin is too shallow when compared to a 'proper' P90 so you'll never get an acceptable tone from them. It's just a compromise. Even Jason Lollar and our own @TheGuitarWeasel have admitted defeat a few times I think.

The @Mojopickups set dropped straight in, and sound identical to the original set in my '67. They certainly have that top end clarity with a magic airy quality to them, so I couldn't have been happier. I went for the A5s.

At £140 for the set, it's a no brainer in my eyes. If one of the originals die in the '67, I'll have Marc rewind it without a doubt.
