And another Midtown P90 demo

Looks like a nice guitar but I wasn't impressed at all with the sound that guy is getting...

 

The clean setting was decent and gave a nice impression of what the guitar is capable of, but the gain setting sounded terrible. Probably not a great amp, and, shudder, not tubes...

I love the sound of P-90's. There is nothing quite like them. The video posted here does not realy capture their tone very well.

 

Still I have been thinking of replacing one or both of the Classic '57's in my Midtown Standard /Bibgsby with Gibsons P-94's. They are P-90's that fit in a humbucker slot.

 

Anyone have any experience with the P-94's? From what I have read they are exactly the same as P-90's except for the housing they are in.

 

I think that would make my Midtown the bomb! Especially with the Bigsby.

I've always wondered about those too, as I have no P90s and plenty of humbucker slots across my collection. A P94 might just be the thing my Midtown Custom needs too...

I'm considering the Seymour Duncan P-Rails for the best of all worlds.

That Seymour Duncan pick up sounds pretty cool. A few things come to mind. It sounds "almost" like a Strat, "almost" like a P-90, and not really sure of the humbucking mode but it appears to be a bit higher output than the '57's on my Midtown Standard. I have heard reviews of Seymour Duncans Phat Cat (P-90 for Humbucker slot) and generally the opinion is that they do not sound exactly like a P-90 or P-94. You also have to consider how you are going to enable the selector switch. Maybe push/pull pots on the volume and tone controls.

 

This kind of thing always happens. You (not you personally) are looking for a simple P-90 sound on the Midtown and the next thing you know you're changing pots and getting more complicated. They both have their merits but I think I want to keep to the KISS principle... Keep It Simple Stupid.
