btoth76 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 You definitely should get one, Bob! One of the best Gibson pickups! Probably the most angry ones. Congratulations Twiz! Wonderful guitar! Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 That's the model (and color), of the first ever electric guitar I ever played, with any regularity, until my Mom bought me my '64 Strat, for my 14th birthday! It belonged to our drummer's brother, who no longer had any interest in playing, and so he loaned it, and his Gibson amp, to me. I later bought the SG from him, for 100 bucks! (Sure WISH NOW, I'd have kept it...it was a '62) I traded it in, on a 68 SG Standard. Enjoy it, they're great little guitars!! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably similar, but not quite like those 60's Jr's. I really like it though. Big tone from such a simple guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big tone from such a simple guitar. Yeah, mine had the deeper/wider beveling, and small pickguard, of the early '60's era. But, your's IS the same color (the deeper richer Red), as mine was. SO GLAD they're starting to do that, more often, now! I do (personally) wish they'd go back to the '60's beveling, and horn tapering (as I've mentioned many, many times, before)! But, maybe that's just "me?" Still, all that aside...your's looks great, and I'm SURE you're going to LOVE it! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino_j Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Very nice guitar! What is your first impression of the P90? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgplayers Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 beautiful guitar man. i am P90 poor. it seems i only use one pickup and was looking for a Les Paul with one pick up. didn't they make a single pickup LP in 57? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiz Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 To my ears a P90 is somewhere between a humbucker and a single coil. It's got some oomph like a humbucker does, but there's a hint of a single coil sound. So far I've just played it through my Vox AC4TV at home with some pedals. Tomorrow I'm going to go play it at my band's practice spot through my 1/2 stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take an extra pair of pants, or a "diaper," because you'll "pee yourself" from joy, hearing P-90's cranked through a 1/2 Stack! Pete Townsend, anyone?!
