I don't have much experience with P90s. Assuming I win, should I go with the mini-bucks, or go with P90s? They'll be Duncans for sure.

P90s are badass, and that looks like a killer guitar for a set. You could always put Phat Cats in, and that way go back to traditional 'buckers if you don't like them.

Re: Opinions on this guitar I'm thinking of buying please
So today I scraped together about $400. I am NOT losing this guitar! I really hope the bidding doesn't go that high, I'm betting it may go above $250. I sure hope not though!
But if I win it, then the fun starts! Decided what pups to buy, everything! What P90s should I get?

Yeah, it's pretty awesome, but don't spend too much. Good luck, whichever way it goes.

Sounds good guys, but I doubt I can ever find a green flame job like that. But you guys are right! I'll try not to get too caught up. My girlfriend falling in love with it really threw me!

If you end up spending $100 more than you'd like to, but turn it into a kickass player, in a year or two, you won't care about paying too much.
Man, here's the thing.... if you really want it, and it is rare, just get the damn thing. That green-burst is the big selling point, and yeah, you're probably not gonna find another.

Re: Opinions on this guitar I'm thinking of buying please
Exactly! Thanks for saying that, I thought you'd gone over to the other side.
My thinking is this:
I loved the thing the first time I saw it. My girlfriend loved it (which is so rare it's not funny). It's 45 years old, and is in almost immaculate condition (wood-wise). I was looking (have been) for a project guitar for almost 6 months. I've been looking specifically for a semi-hollowbody or an SG, really anything I could put a Bigsby on. I love the headstock, and I LOVE how it has binding on the top, bottom, and the fretboard. Lastly, I like that I can afford it (finally)!
So yeah, I won't pay too much, but in this case, worth is hard to gauge. It's so old and from such an obscure (and now defunct) company. But it's pretty, it's weird, and I really like it!

I'm wondering how some TV Jones pups might sound in this puppy. Any opinions? Drew? I may have to PM Drew.

I've seen some bridges that were Tune-o-matics mounted on top of wood. I think stewmac had them. Sweet guitar.

I don't think the raw wood looks all that bad, just very dry. Product pimp alert: I would refresh the wood with Fret Doctor.
To the seller's credit, he could have rubbed any oil on the wood to refresh the wood for "photograpic purposes". It is nice that the photos are as they are, rather than a quick spit polish and shine to boost the selling price.
Me likey the green burst!

Yeah Sludge, I've been a proud user of Fret Doctor for a while. Best thing ever! I'm going to slather this puppy with that stuff! It's going to rejuvenate the wood like nothing else!
And yeah, Chops, I like some strats but they're just not for me. This thing just 'speaks' to me if you will!
Thanks a lot for the response guys. I appreciate it! Any opinions on the TV Jones pups?
