My Casino didn' t sound very well and it made strange steel noises unplugged.
I order a good quality metric ABR-1 bridge at Philadelphia Luthier Tools and a long version of the trapeze tailpiece to reduce vibrations between the tailpiece and the bridge.
The result is incredible, awesome, no more bad vibrations. With the long trapeze tailpiece the feeling is better, The guitar seems more precise much more enjoyable to play!

Other upgrades: Black € truss rod cover, Cream pickguard, amber switch tip, vintage repro knobs and... a cool tweed case.

Cool.... this a MIC Casino, or an older MIK, MIJ?

Any change in string tension, slinkiness?

My favorite Casino/ES330 upgrade is plastic pickup covers.
They really sound different.
