Again, my Epi 339 P90 Pro is one of the best sounding P90 guitars I've played. Got mine for less than $300.

What's your price point?

A good guitar.

I put Fralin noiseless P90s in a jazzmaster and they're my favorite pickups ever

I saw two of those in a pawn shop, but they were priced about like a new one. I'll probably end up getting one eventually.

That’s pretty, but you can get a used LP R6 (or otherwise P90 LP variations) for less than 2k if you’re patient and look around.

[Chad Fuck 17711]

This is literally the first thing that popped up when I plugged “Gibson les Paul p-90” into search at Reverb.

Not bad

For a long time, I've been wanting to hear those pickups.  Now I have to go buy another guitar.  Shit.

Yes very, but I could not find one while I was white hot to buy.  I do love the R6 tho...

A Fender offset with P90's is rent free in my head...

[Mojo Hand 4580]

I also rewired it with a phase splitter.  It sounds so damn good. 

[noharleyyet 2838]

I'll hang up and listen...

I'm still on the fence about hanging glued guitars. I keep the music room under 78 throughout the summer, and all my research suggests that should be fine for maintaining joint integrity, but I can't shake the feeling that 8+lbs of wood, not to mention string tension, over time is just bad news.  But what the hell else am I supposed to do, put it on a floor stand like an animal?

[Deej 76872]

Sweetwater just emailed to tell me they now carry Heritage guitars.

Keeping them in the cases is a pain in the ass too.

My choice would be to have naked supermodels just hold them, but I'm not that talented or wealthy.

I fucked up. Won’t happen again.

Idk. I’ve had a les Paul hanging up for at least 10 years with no issues that I can tell.

Also I know there are more p90 options y’all are holding back

I like that asat jr II. Do they make that in a USA edition?

[topochico 1049]

Unless you go custom shop, this is about as close as I can find.

Fender did it’s own version of that in a limited run back in the late 90s or early 2000s. It was pretty cool. But I can’t recall what they called it.

 

I’ll see if I can track down a pic just for fun.

 

[Chad Fuck 17711]

Here’s the Tele version

The Strat version. I know I saw a two pickup version but this is the only one I found:

They even copied the old Gibson LP Jr. look on both finishes they offered.

If if sounds like I think it does it should'a been tagged StratoCrunch....

I remember playing one waaaay back in the day when I was putting together my Jazzocaster.  I have no recollection of what it sounded like.  But I hadn't been bitten by the P-90 bug at the time, so it just struck me as "Why would Fender want to copy Gibson, and why wouldn't someone who wanted a Gibson just buy a Gibson?"  But maybe it was an idea ahead of its' time, considering all the Fender/Gibson hybrids like Fano, etc. out there.

I could've saved beaucoup bucks chasing pedals instead of pups and combos but I'm still doing it.

Found this on eBay. They seem quite proud of it.

$2k and ships from Japan. Probably pass on that.

This might be a cool warmoth project.

Read my mind.  They could do it up right.

 

[Chad Fuck 17711]

Based on playing with the builder, you could probably do it for about $1400 exactly how you wanted it via Warmoth.  

[Buzzrock 14936]

Just because

That guitar is so associated with him that I feel like no one else can really play one.
