truetone6 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I got this from Guitar Center yesterday for $179.00. It's used but like new. The finish is glossy.You can see the grain through it but that doesn't show up well in my photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Excellent score truetone! Did the case come with too? If so, you really made out. Set neck, Grovers, and P90s...how can you go wrong! Now take off those ugly stickers and start jamming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemans335 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Wow, some deal. Nice guitar. I think they were $350+ new, without a case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitmore Willy Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Truetone6, Congrats and Welcome to the Club!! One of my favorite guitars. Definitely a guitar with character. Wow, some deal. Nice guitar. I think they were $350+ new, without a case. Yup. They were $399 when I bought mine. You could sometimes find them on sale for $350. I got a great deal with a bunch of coupons. Still cost me $300 without case. Even so....worth every penny. P-90s are so much fun. Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemans335 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Thanks guy,the red ones are beautiful! Did they come out at the same time as the TV Yellow? I think mine is a 2010. They originally came out as a limited edition several years ago, I think there were three colors: red, TV yellow, and black. They should be in regular production and priced around $275-300 new (they're cheap to make, cheaper than an SG). At that price, they'd get a lot more attention. There's a definite cult following for P-90 guitars, and LP Specials are a rock and roll classic. BTW, I think they went off course with the P-90 SG Special: the necks are very thin (which doesn't help the tone quality). The neck binding was a waste of money (and looked out-of-place); they should have had a separate stop bar and bridge instead, as intonation is always an issue. Would have been much more useful. I had looked forward to their release, and ended up selling mine. The P-90 LP Special was spec'd out better, it's a keeper. Another good model was the 1990's Double Cut P-90 LP Special. I picked up a used one. Nice guitar. Wish they'd bring them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
