Distance from the middle of the bridge to the end is about 8'.

Measurement from the edge (closest to bridge) of the 15th fret to the end of guitar is around 18'.

How do these basic measurements compare with your casino? It's a brand new Casino from the only registered seller where I live. The guy at Towner thinks my Casino is 'oddly small' which is both strange and annoying.

No problems with the purchase - but now I try and put them and they don't fit. I wanted to put a bigsby on it and was recommended a B6 and down tension bar by the guys at Towner. This is the made in China model but the quality is surprisingly good. It's like getting a new guitar!Įventually, I'll upgrade the electronics, and add vintage tulip style tuners to it.Recently I bought a 2020 epiphone casino. Restrung it with some D'addario flatwound 11s (thought I'd try something new and heard that heavier strings reduce the tuning stability issues a Bigsby can have - I usually use half-round 10s) and I love it. The Bigsby installation was very simple, once I'd lined it up with some string to make sure it was centre, I only had to drill a few pilot holes to mount it. The neck feels silk to the touch, and I think the satin gives it a nice vintage vibe that I'd have never achieved with play-wear alone on that plastic finish. After roughly 2-3 hours of this, I used T-Cut automotive scratch remover on a lint free cloth to bring the guitar back to the level of shine that I desired. After removing all hardware, I used a mesh attachment to an orbital sander (you can do it by hand with a scouring pad, but the random nature of the sander's movements reduces the swirl pattern and makes polishing easier) and made sure to get a good, even coverage to reduce any shiny spots. The process was very simple, and I'd done it before to an Epiphone SG.

I recently impulse bought a Bigsby B7 for my Casino Coupe, and while installing it I decided to take the gloss finish down to a more satin feel, as I'm not really a fan of the candy-like polyurethane finish that comes from the factory.
