The Casino's P-90's are brighter sounding in all positions, with substantially more bite on the bridge pickup and more twang using both pickups.

Scale length is the same, necks are similar enough that I don't notice a lot of difference, and the big difference comes down to the pickups. I hope this is helpful, and I call on all the rest of the electric-head 'masters' to correct anything this usual-acoustic-forum wanker may have strayed on. I have seen a bunch of used JPs modded with a tune-o-matic, though. I am told that this gives the JP a softer sound, and then, you can do more/easier adjustments on the Casino. One other consideration: the JP has a rosewood floating bridge, the Casino a tune-o-matic.

If you're new to playing that doesn't sound like much, but, trust me, you DO notice it! Upscale versions of the Casino, I've heard, have a nut-width like the JP and most other Epi electrics (1.68). The standard Casino supposedly has a thinner nut (1.62), and I would find that a bit crowded for my fingers (I come to this via finger-picking). And I find the size of the the whole machine (a bit smaller than your standard big-bodied jazz guitar) extremely comfortable. there's a flatness there that I don't notice in the Casino, Dot, or even the ES175 that makes it very comforable for me. Your other concerns: Playability-this all a matter of taste, of course. I think neither of these would be what you're after if you want to do some metal-shredding, or even real heavy blues-rock. That said, in trying out the JP, I noticed that it can get some nice Beatle-ish sounds on the combo pickup setting and some twangy surf-tones on the bridge pickup. Casino a jangly-guitar rock machine primarily (think Beatles, who used 'em a bunch Epi also touts Paul Weller who plays in that same vein) the JP very much a jazz box, and I'm hoping to get one myself some time soon for some TBone-to-BB style blues (as well as learning jazz chords and licks. concerning the Casino, but I'd say it depends very much on the style of music you're playing. what are the big differences? Playability' date=' sound, overall look. Can you guys pls give me the pros and cons of the Joe Pass and Casino? I plan to choose one guitar but i just want to hear from you guys who might have owned or played both.
