Epiphone Casino with Humbuckers ?

[Erlend_G]

Yes . . .the only other FULL hollow thin line body guitar that i know about is the under appreciated Ibanez AFS series.
Saying that, i still prefer the feel of the Casino in my hands.

Please keep me up dated on your own project

Yeah, the Casino is a full hollow, arched both back and top! (if I remember correctly).

I bought my Wildkat unseen, and thought it was the same deal. So I was a bit... bummed when I first held it in my arms, hehe . The wildkat has a flat back, but is still hollow- with the exception of a square "tone block" under the bridge. .

First time I played a Casino, I fell really in love with the sound. The Wildkat is "close"- it sounds more "hollow" than a ES-335, but more "solid" than a Casino.

(guess this information isn't very meaningful, I just wanted to write)

rock on \m/

I have owned a couple thin full hollow guitars that I put humbuckers into. I really liked it but I was playing in punk bands at the time so I may not be the best guide.

hahahahaha . . .

I wasn't joking. One thinline hollowbody I put an unknown Gibson humbucker into. That was a Sex Pistols sort of punk rock band. Great sound! Had a nice twang to it..
The other I installed a JB. That was a hardcore band ala early Black Flag/Circle Jerks.
In between those I played an ES-335 in a sort of Social Distortion/Fu Fighters type band.

I like punk, I like humbuckers, and I like thinline hollow and semi-hollow guitars. But my desired tone probably doesn't match the typical hollowbody player...

Humbuckers in an ES-175 provided lots of tones for Steve Howe of Yes over the years.

I realize this is some one else's thread and I don't want to be rude. What kind of pickups did Gibson put in the ES-175 in the early 70's?

AFAIK the only full-size humbuckers Gibson made in the early 70s were T-Tops. I don't know if the wind or magnet changed over the years, but I've heard some that were good and others that were really uninspiring. IMO the earlier ones were better, which leads me to believe that the formula changed at some point.

Indeed! And of course Ted Nugent and his Birdland.

. . . fair enough

You're correct! Virtual sports are becoming more and more popular every day. In recent years, practically all bookmaker services expanded their markets to include several e-sports categories. Even when compared to traditional tournaments, prize pools for esport competitions have grown significantly.

Apologies for reviving an old thread, but I'm on the hunt for similar info myself. Thanks for bringing up the topic of converting an Epiphone Casino with P90's to full-sized humbuckers. I've always been curious about how a full hollow thin, line guitar like the Casino would sound with humbuckers compared to, say, an ES-335 with a center block.
