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

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.

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

Son of a bitch, that's nice.

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...

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

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?

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


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.


Dude, what the fuck are you doing?

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

Where do I find one of these??? Need it for 13 guitars

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

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.

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.

I could've saved beaucoup bucks chasing money instead of blondes and brunettes, but I did it anyway.

Oooh. Do want that sunburst frankengibsostrat!

If anyone sees one for sale on line please report here.

$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.

 

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

Just because

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

Start with this and you could go next level vagocaster
