jefleppard Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 my '56 GT. i get endless compliments from other players on my tone. the stock p-90's in this guitar have a beautiful clarity and bite. all i do is dirty it up a bit with a clean boost pedal (fulltone fatboost3) but never get insane. i am very heavy-handed. i play the living f out of it here at home, gigs and practice and it has never gone out of tune. this is a korean-made guitar i bought for 499 w/case and free shipping from gc.com. an absolutely silly deal. i have a friend with an LP studio that he has to tune after every song. i have another who has a firebird - also - needs to be tuned after every song. great guitars - i'm not knocking gibson. i love them. i'm just bragging about my good fortune and absolute steal-of-a-deal. thanks for reading. i'm done now.

charlie brown Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Congratulations, cunkhead. Great looking guitar! Glad you're please with it, all the way around. I too have several Epi's that I really enjoy, along with my Gibby's, and others. Cheers, CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midiman56 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 You go right on gushing and waxing poetic, Clunk! Gold Top LP's with p90's are not only intensly classy, but are also a little slice of music history. Congrats!!! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgifntx Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I guess I'm just nutzo... I didn't want one with the P90's..? Really wanted one with the general ol' bucker look. I've heard a couple soundbytes with the P90's and they sound real good, I didn't have a problem with the tones. Just searched and searched 'til I found what I was lookin' for..? I did go ahead and change out the stock pups with the DiMarzio Tone Zone and Air Norton. Did the pots/caps/wiring too. I'm really pleased with the overall feel, looks and tones I get with it. 'Spose I'll get in under the "clause" as GT's go... Super nice guitars, No two ways about it!! .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwillow777 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Congrats. I love my GT too. I'm not a P90 guy, I have tried to like them in a few guitars, but I use too many pedals and P90s don't like pedals. I threw a pair of Gibson Minis in it and I am in love again. GTs just look soooo nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
