I had an artcore. Sold it and regret it. Lovely sounding guitar, very nice to play and a beauty to behold.
But sir, you need a P90. A Casino has P90s. I don't know whether this "too-many-guitars" thing factors in, but a Casino even has two P90s. And it's a proper hollow body without a centre block, just a pinned bridge and a trapeze
The Tele was by far the nicest guitar I ever bought and perfect out of the box. The strat needed a LOT of work, but I loved the color and the neck felt great, so I bought it on an impulse and made it into my ideal guitar. I have since replaced the 59 bridge in the photo with a white JB and it’s perfect now. I use it for everything from folk to rock to death metal (as a bedroom guitarist).
