Above 17, you can really only fret by shifting your hand out of position altogether.Ĭasino: Much faster neck and easy access to all 22 frets. At 17, you're lucky to fret right at all. When you get above 15, your hand gets a little claustrophobic. The frets in the upper register are not an easy reach. You won't be able to do a Steve Vai trem-bomb, but this is hardly the guitar you would get for something like that. Set up the Bigsby right and you have a friend for life. I've had it for about a month and a half now, and have had to tune it far less than my Strat. The master volume is in an awkward position. G5129: The neck feels more like a slim acoustic neck than most electric necks.
The sound portion is based on using the same settings on my Vox amp for both guitars. I've got a G5129 (Similar to 5122- Single coil pickups, single cutaway, allegedly slightly higher build quality although I don't see a difference) and I just picked up a Casino.įirst, they're both incredible pieces of gear, and I would sooner cut off my toes than give up either.
