As usual, the picture of the whole guitar (on the left) is also a link.
This is the prettiest low-cost P90 guitar I’ve seen, and I’ve only seen the pictures. I may have to make this my next Christmas present (planning ahead). I’m pretty much sold on the idea that I want the raunchy sound of a P90, and I want it to be affordable-yet-attractive. Ron’s done me well before.
Is this a gorgeous guitar or what? The PRS-like double-cut is practical as well as stylish, and there is a bevel to help you get up to the really high notes. I also think I might like the LP-style switch on the upper bout. I don’t know, though. It’s further out of reach of my hands. The headstock is a bit more stylish too. I like the black hardware and that it has separate tone and volume for each pickup (I’ll never buy two-knob guitars again).
I like the white/cream binding in particular. Before I got my GG5 CUS (black hollowbody) I never realized how much visual impact comes from the binding. Stepping out with either of these makes a good first impression (which I then have to maintain… maybe I should stick with ugly guitars?).
Black pickup covers are definitely my preference. I hate the white covers I keep seeing, like the ones on the Les Paul Gold Top guitars. The black blends in and lets the styling of the body and hardware stand out better. It doesn’t clash.
