With this purchase I doubt I'll bother getting another guitar now  Sounds heavenly. |

My eyes say 'good grief, gorgeous. Quick, tell the ears.'

Gorgeous, what model is that? Like a 335 with P90's, so cool! Just would've preferred it in red/sunburst  |

It's a Casino marit. Fully hollow bodied unlike the 335 which has a centre block extending to the tail pin. Because the Casino is hollow it needs the trapeze tailpiece to give some anchorage. |

Aha, thanks for that @defjef, what do you mean by it needs a trapeze tailpiece to give some anchorage? Isn't HBs Bigtone also a full hollow body guitar?

It does come in Cherry red and 3TS. I specifically wanted the natural finish so it sort of matches to my M-1000 Koa. Now, if they did a Koa Casino that'd tempt me!
I think that there is a Koa Wildcat, but I really wanted a Casino.
There isn't enough material to anchor a stop bar kind of tailpiece.

It's acclimatised now, just having a play around with it and omg the sound of the neck pup into my swollen pickle is possibly the thickest fuzz tone I've ever had.

Did you try rolling off the neck tone knob and then play into a fuzz pedal? I can just imagine how that neck P90 sounds into the Pickle  |

Yeah, I did a couple of the Pumpkins Siamese Dream era riffs with varying amounts of tone roll off.
Rocket to me sounds nearly totally rolled off with a slow deep phaser
Mayonnaise is very rolled off and is an almost Stoner kind of chug
Cherub rock I didn't really have the brightness on the neck that I think it has.

So all hollow bodies should need either a trapeze tailpiece or a Bigsby B6 if I understand it correctly? |

I have the pearl white Wildkat, great guitar and great looks. To be honest the 335 is just a really cool guitar so whatever colour you choose it's a stunner. I have the HB-35Plus version and that one's stunning too (in cherry of course ;-)) |

Having said that it IS possible to put a B7 on a Casino (I believe McCartney did it) if you fit a hardwood support block inside the guitar. This, of course, will make your Casino less Casino-sh and possibly less prone to feedback which may or may not be what you want. Everyone has different needs. Some folks insist on unpotted pickups whilst others run fast in the opposite direction. |

I am a bit scared to use it live because of the feedback  |
