I just did a level, crown and polish on the fretboard and boy what a difference.
I'm really interested in keeping the stock look so I may get a set of Casino pickups from "The Creamery" in Manchester.

Click on the Casino folder tab.

I'm really diggin' the Casino but there are some room for improvements. The tuners are a little sloppy could use a new Kluson set possibly. The bridge saddles are also a little loose due to milling tolerences of the saddle threads. I know there are those who prefer the Elitist or the Lennon inspired but I like the extra room in the upper fretboard access of the neck joint of this Peerless model. I had a 61 reissue but sold it because i liked the 1999 Casino better. To each his own.
I'll post some piocs tomorrow.
