Re: Well...It has been decided. I need a P90 Les Paul.

Doesn't everybody need at least 1?
 
Re: Well...It has been decided. I need a P90 Les Paul.

Everybody should have one. At least a Special, preferably a regular P90 LP too, or a Tribute...
And maybe one with a P90 neck and a humbucker at the bridge...
Of course, some might want a min hum at the bridge with a P90 neck...

P90s in a guitar are excellent. I built a Warmoth Black Korina body tele with a roasted Maple neck with a pair of Seymour Duncan vintage P90s and a Dimebucker in the middle. Everybody needs a guitar with P90s...........not necessarily a Les Paul.

When I was younger I didn’t care for the P-90 tone. Now, I’ve been exposed to them being used in very cool ways, and I’m gassing big time for a P-90 equipped guitar. I almost bought a Epiphone LP I saw on Craigslist recently, but I hesitated and it got snapped up fast. It is next on my list for sure.

I've got a 2016, Chinese Special I. One day I'll have pics on here somewhere. I'm just a beginner's beginner, but I love it. Squier strat is now red-headed stepchild. Considering turning into a slide, but I figured maybe I'd learn how to play, first. Then, I needed 'buckers, so Dean HardTail Select, 2007. I'm done for now. Got what I wanted, so I can really figure it out. I'm very happy as the Queen of $99 Guitars. I may make it my avocation. Get the P90s. Now they have Special IIs. NOT $99. You'll need tuners. Same crap as on Squier. Hexagonal slipping mofos. They probably cost $1.00.

How on earth do the P90s keep up with the Dimebucker?

Believe it or not........the P90s do really well with the Dimebucker. Whatever gain I use with my amp, the P90s keep up. What is nice is combining the Alnico magnets of the P90s and the Ceramic magnets of the Dimebucker. When using the Dimebucker with either of the P90s contributes to a little hum noise reduction.

I agree!

Someday I’d like to do a Neil Young/Mike Ness and get a 70’s Deluxe and replace the minis with P90s.

Everyone needs a P-90 guitar. They just don't all know it.

Here is my Duncan Vintage P-90B and Custom P90 neck. It's in a ~96 Les Paul Studio Gem series.

And don't be fooled into thinking P-90's are just for old guy blues rock

 
Re: Well...It has been decided. I need a P90 Les Paul.

In my experimenting I found a P-90 to have the most bass of any pickup I tested making it an ideal choice for the bridge position because there is a very little bass at the bridge position and it needs all the help it can get there .. it is also quite bright and extremely high gain all of which make it an ideal pickup for the bridge ... with that said I found most of those characteristics work against the P-90 in the neck where I found it to be extremely boomy ...

You can hear side by side comparison of Single Coil, P-90, Wide Range, Humbucker and Pearly Gates in bridge, middle and neck positions here ...

No wonder I like Epi Lp Special I P90s so much. I am def a bass kinda girl. Sorry-mistake earlier-I think Special IIs have buckers.

Love the honk of a P-90 cranked through a Marshall stack....
