I've been gassing for a new guitar, and had been leaning toward a second Flying V with all the sales on right now. But after watching Greg Koch smoke a Gibson Midtown on Youtube it just about has me sold on my first hollowbody. But - i'm not sure whether to shoot for a P90 or humbucker version, nor do I have a local music store where I can just try 'em out.
My playing range is generalist rock, roots, rockabilly and surf. Brian Setzer, Danny Gatton, Hendrix and Dick Dale are main influences - that said i'm not trying to replicate their tone or gear choices (I already have five other electrics with which I can do so). I don't mind blues but i'm not a straight blues player either, nor looking for a straight blues tone - problem being most 'review' videos demonstrate slow blues playing... which kills most review videos dead in the water for me.
So anyway - I can't pick. Midtown humbucker version vs P90 - which would you opt for?
