Members GURREN LAGANN Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 I'm looking for decent quality P90 guitars for cheap. I like Xaviere guitars but they don't really have a body shape I want in a colour I want. I'd kind of like a green guitar, maybe in the semi-hollow Les Paul shape(Not normally too fond of Les Pauls, but they look very "guitary" with the sound hole).

Members Spike Li Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 Squier Telecaster Custom 2. Played one (unplugged) at a store last night, very nice, might consider getting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked mine - I only got rid of it because I traded it in on a Fender telecaster. I still have the humbucker version with Mean 90s swapped in.

Members GURREN LAGANN Posted May 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 That's kind of nice, don't really want another Tele though. If it came in green I'd consider it. The gold one's pretty nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Verence Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 Any of these are a great value for the money. Moreso if you buy used, of course. None of them come in green though. Hardly anything comes in green. $150 $200 $300 $500 $600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian Krashpad Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 Epi WildKat is basically an LP-type shape. I found one in a pawn for $300 (as noted above, new they "street" at $500): Never seen one in green though. There are a batch of turquoise ones floating around.

Members Brian Krashpad Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 Nice score:thu:. I am still holding out on buying one.....need to find a deal like that. Wild Kats had long been on my "guitars of interest" mental list, stumbled on this'un at one of my "regular" pawns. One thing, they can be hard to find a case for if you buy without. The Epi case is like $100 new. They are bigger than an LP but not as large as most semi's. I ended up buying a beater case that forumite Mike Fiasco had lying about, and just stuffing a towel in (not seen in below pic) to make up the difference: Here is a comparison to a Les Paul case, with the one I bought, an actual Wild Kat case would be right in between those 2 sizes: I figured that even w/o case, mine was a pretty good deal. The white blonde finish was a limited run for one year only, so it says "Limited Edition Custom Shop" on the back of the headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Verence Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 Which isn't "Green". It's pastel blue-green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vermoulian Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 Any humbucker guitar cab become a cheap P-90 guitar with a set of Dream 90s or Mean 90s from GFS in it. I put a set of Dream 90s in an Epi Flying V and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guitar Heel Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 I know that you said green, and LP shaped, but I picked up my Schecter C-1 Special for $250 (it had a good size chip at the edge of the goldtop), but I've seen them used for pretty close to that in better shape. Anyway, love the guitar, and I'm a fan of the noiseless P-90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool.EG Thanks EG, The guitar itself is in great shape, the pickup covers and such, not so much. Lots of pitting. Looks like she's been rode hard and put away wet. I just look on it as mojo-- and a price break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
