Well, i came home from sEattle with the Goldtop LP and lo and behold, on my front door step were the set of Antiquity P90s I ordered. Just the ticket for a nice evening of playing guitar tech.
First of all, the pups sound great (duh!)
Secondly, I do not believe the neck on this guitar has ever been adjusted. I really worked it over set up wise and got it playing right. The fretboard was just filthy. I'm also pretty sure the board hadn't been oiled in a long time. The biggest evidence of that were these little hairline cracks on a few frets ends (frets 15 thru 19) where the binding covers the fret ends. Wood shrinks, pulling the binding in with it, frets don't shrink, binding cracks on the fret ends. No big deal, very hard to see. The good oil down I gave it ought to let the wood swell back up a tiny bit.
I think I'm going to like this thing. Just need to pop a set of strap locks into it and I'm ready to go.
One more bonus, the cream covers from Duncan match the pickguard a bit better than the Gibson ones. The Gibson p90 covers look a bit darker than the pickguard. Almost a peach color versus the yellowish cream pickguard. The antiquity covers were more towards the yellowish cream so, I think they make the guitar look that much better.
anyone want to buy a PRS? I don't think it's going to get much playing time anymore.
