Well-described, Robert...between the hollow body and sometimes microphonic P-90's, you cannot crank a Casino up if you're anywhere near your amp (amph?) unless you're looking to rasie the dead. There IS a trick, though, to combat that; you can stuff some foam rubber in the f-holes.
But it jangles like it's supposed to
On the other hand, I forgot to mention how it differs from my '01 Epi-Samick/Korea Sheraton II, semi-hollow, Gibson '57 Humbuckers with the sustain block in the body preventing horrendous feedback. And a bit more 'ornate' than the plain-Jane Casino's simpler beauty:

But that's another thread...gotta go to work...
