Sooo, I got my P90s rewired with lighter gauge wire and the pickups are mid output - 7.5kOhm for neck, 8kOhm for bridge. After rewiring the harness and installing new-old pickups - this thing SINGS! It has all the lows you would want, great full mids and shiny highs without ice-pickyness. Very nice vintage woody-hollow vibe to it but when I want it to rock - well it ROCKS! Incredible sustain, responsiveness and dynamics. Great, great little guitar. Such a shame that Epiphone doesn't make their dogear P90s more accurate to vintage specs as that would make KILLER guitar right off the bat.

ooops... I guess it's just an original finish - Royale Zebra. I wasn't aware of this one...

Hi! First of all - hello to everyone as this is my first post here! I've been coming back and forth to this thread every once in a while. Sorry for resurrecting a dead post but I have question to the person who did this amazing golden zebra finish - Crust I guess? Would you be so kind and let me know - how did you remove the existing poly finish without ruining the veneer nor the binding? I plan to do jus the same using paint spray remover on flat surfaces and small pointy brush in areas close to binding. I heard that it was almost impossible just to sand down the finish without sanding through the veneer. Please let me know. I have rewired the original wiring with a better cables and currently have sent the pickups to a tech in order to get them rewired to more classisc P90 standards - 7.5k neck, 8k bridge and maybe AlNiCo 2 magnets. I love the responsiveness and sustain of this thing. I guess that after undulling the pickups and the circuit - it will become a tone monster for 50-70s sounds and the jazz-box thing (towards George Benson, Wes Montgomery). 🙂 zebra Wildkat
