Yes, the Casino is a true hollow body, and is more prone to feedback than a semi (such as a Dot or 335) with a center block. As long as one is not playing highly distorted guitar (like metal), a Casino is probably a workable option, if one will put the time in to learn to harness/control the feedback issue.
There's unwanted feedback, which is always a bad thing, and
controlled feedback, which can be a very good thing indeed.
I recently received a Casino as a birthday gift from the kids in my church band, and have played it both there and with my old school punk rock band (through a 50W tube head into a 4x12 halfstack cab), and have not had a problem with uncontrollable feedback.
