Dear Lord man. Please be reasonable and explain yourself clearly. You're talking about the swing feel of the 8th notes right? As triplets are divided evenly, but swung 8th notes with good feel are...

A Casino can be an excellent jazz guitar indeed. I recommend using nylon saddles for the tunematic in that case.

Yes, it’s on purpose to place that coil in almost the same spot as the pickup is on my ES-125 guitar (where it sits a little further from the neck, in the spot of the virtual 24th fret). It does work...
