Hi,
I just wondered whether you could do an epiphone casino kit. It would basically be an es339 (for which you already do a kit) but with cutouts for p90s instead of humbuckers, and it would be completely hollow instead of being semi-hollow like the es339.

You could always get a ES-1GT and put some humbucker-sized P90's in it. It won't be exactly the same as a Casino, but modern Casinos are different to than the originals anyway.

I thought about doing that, but I've played semi-hollow guitars and hollow bodies (such as the casino) and the feel and tone is just completely different. The hollow bodies just seem to be more alive and jangly.
And I don't really like the look of the humbuckers sized p90s, although I'd probably get used to them if I had to. :)

Would love to see this if it is at all possible. I think a hollowbody (6-string) is the one thing missing from the PBG lineup. We have a bass, just a guitar to go! Would definitely be a must have for me if it could be done..
cheers,
Gav.
i bought a 1957 Harmony Master off ebay - hollow body, f hole , acoustic - it's getting a new bridge, new tail piece, new finish and oh yes - a Kent Armstrong handwound jazz pickup ...

@Stan: nice! Post a picture - maybe before and after shots?
cheers,
Gav.

I've just resurrected this one, +1 for a Casino style kit!
