I think this is a very cool concept. A Casino (basically a 330 style guitar) but with a 339 sized body.

IMHO, the best tone from the Casino Coupe comes from a blend of both P90s. My only gripe is that it doesn't stay in tune too well. I haven't addressed that issue - or intonation - yet; what else could it be than the stock strings or the tuning machines? For the money, a lot of value. Mine is turquoise, like having a girlfriend over 70 years younger than me.

Maybe if you want to bash out slightly out of tune rock n roll it would be okay, but not viable as a jazz guitar. Maybe that particular guitar was just a bad apple, but that was my experience if that's of any help to you. If you buy one without trying it make sure you can return it if you don't like it would be my advice.
