Casino Coupe Feedback
The Wildkat is a semi hollow guitar that comes stock with a Bigsby and P90s, but the P90s are significantly darker than on either the Casino Coupe or the 339. Of the three, I strongly prefer the ES 339 with P90s - don't have to worry about feedback. I've also found time after time that the playability on the ES 339 is better than on the Wildkat. This is a video I did comparing a Casino Coupe with a 339 pro. I've posted it as a response to people looking, but hadn't shared it on its own thread yet. Enjoy, and hope it helps anyone on the fence!

P-90 Single Coil Pickup
Legendary Tone
First introduced in the early 1950s, Gibson's legendary P90 single coil pickup produced a raw powerful tone that helped define the blues and rock and roll in their formative years. Today, the P90's traditional combination of high output and brilliant tone is still considered a favorite among many top musicians. Known by such familiar nicknames as the 'Soapbar' and the 'Cobalt,' the P90 still cuts through any type of music, all while displaying amazing tonal sensitivity for everything from blues and rock to mellow jazz riffs. It's perfect as a vintage replacement, and features vintage, braided two-conductor wiring. It's also fully wax potted to eliminate any chance of unwanted microphonic feedback.
