The tab/cover solder connection on these pickups give me fits. I've also been wanting to replace the chromed metal pickup covers with black plastic ones for some time, and finally found a set that would work with the Casino, but I ran into a problem that for some reason didn't even occur to me until I put the Gibson pickup in the dog-ear cover: I used to own an Elitist Casino, which came stock with Gibson P90s, and I thought maybe if I put a set of Gibson P90s in this guitar, that would make it kind of a poor-man's Elitist. After I replaced the stock speaker in my SCX2 with a Weber, they sounded even better! Now, I usually adhere to the philosophy of: "if a guitar sounds good already, don't mess with it", but I've had these Gibson P90s in a drawer for some time, and I just couldn't resist the curiosity to hear what they sound like in the Casino. I had had the stock pickups rewound by Pickups, and they sounded great. ![]() Since I'm at a stand-still with the Ibanez pickup swap until the height adjustment screws that sent me arrive, I decided to kill an afternoon swapping the pickups on my Casino.
