  • NGD -- P90 and Hollow Body Goodness

    Well, Semi-Hollow, but whatever lol

    As I alluded to in Aceman's thread, last Friday evening I was sipping on bourbon while surfing Reverb and made an offer on a guitar. Woke up Saturday to an "offer accepted" email.

    Guitar in question was a '16 Epiphone ES-339 P90 Pro in Wine Red

    It actually came in Wednesday but today was the first time I got a chance to really play it. It is cool!
    I've been playing some blues stuff and classic rock today and this thing is killer. It does clean very well too. It was described as recently set up with 10's, and I believe it. The frets appear to have been polished and the action is set to my liking. The guitar is flawless, not a scratch or ding on it.
    I've been looking at these for a while, I'm glad this worked out the way it did.
    I did take the "E" decal off the pickguard, because it just looked gaudy to me.

    But...
    SWMBO has made it VERY clear that this is my last purchase for a while, lol. As I have definitely spent some $$$ lately on toys/hobbys, and she wants to buy a house this summer.

    Here are a couple quick pics, I'll try to get some better ones at some point.

          Beautiful guitar. Congrats on the new acquisition.

          I played a bunch of those when they first came out and tried like crazy to like them, but they just didn't feel right to me. But I'm glad you're lovin it.

              It's semi, has the block down the middle. Basically a 335 scaled down to around les paul size

                      the pro would have splitting if it was the humbucker version, but since its p90 it does not.

                        was thinking of doing P90s in a gretsch white falcon. I hate the filtertrons. Im thinking more punchy jazz tone and the P90s in a hollow or semi hollow usually do just that
