(1') 20 Gauge Buss Wire: Hard to obtain genuine silver-plated 20 gauge solid copper buss wire for grounding the pots like the originals. (1) Switchcraft Jack: Switchcraft is widely known as the finest input/output 1/4' jack available. Made by the same company that made it for Gibson in the 50's. (4') Vintage-Spec Braided Shield Wire: This is genuine 22 gauge braided shield wire. Widely regarded as some of the best sounding paper-in-oil tone caps available for that vintage 'woody' tone!

ĬTS 530k Short Shaft Potsmatched all are the same spec : These are the highest quality, split-short shaft, audio taper potentiometers from CTS. īy the way Ive changed all wiring and caps, pots in my Inspired Casino which now is a step above in quality as good as any Gibson. The Casino is without question fine instrument one of the best for that price range and can deliver some great tone thats why I have one so I guess I like both for what they give me.

Myself I prefer some beef in the neck and the ES VOS delivers that along with the vintage feel and tone. The ES 330 VOS with the under wound pickups and large neck just give you the sweetness of a tele but can also deliver a sting of a rattler when desired. I had the ES 330 L nice tone more on the scale with the Casino but with a bit more growl. The ES 330 has more sustain and and much more beef on the bottom end and the high side its just not as thin as the Casino. Many people compare the two Gibson and Epiphone and although there are those who believe they sound the same in my experience believe me they very much don't. I have a Casino Inspired natural its about 4 months old and a Gibson ES 330 VOS and in the past a Elitist as well.
