    Default Epi Dot type with P90s stock?

    A local CL ad shows an Epi (semi) hollow, cryptic description, low res. picture shows what seems like a pair of dogear P90s.

    Is there, or was there such a thing as stock?

    A couple of things to watch for with a Casino. They do not have a center block like a dot. They use a trapeze style stop.
    If you take a close look at the CL picture it should have full inlays. Gibson did a special run of P90 335s for MF a while back. You rarely find a Dot with P90s. They usually have HBs.

    Casinos also differ from a 335/Dot type joining the neck at the 17th fret instead of the 19th. Both are 22-fret necks.

    Both present, that seems to be it, except that the trapeze seems solid, on the crappy picture.

    I think seller is three miles away, but I don't know if I want a Casino, or another guit... er, nevermind.
