Members badpenguin Posted March 7, 2019 Members Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hey all. Found this beasties for a whopping 50 bucks, and me being me, how could I say no? It's a 2010/11 Gladiator Paul Jr copy. Made in China, bolt on mahogany neck, mahogany body with a single P90 in the bridge. Has the standard "Kluless" style tuners that workish. Controls work as they should, with this stupid beefy neck that I have grown to love since the arthritis is acting up. I will be adding a neck P90 within the next week or so.

Members badpenguin Posted March 8, 2019 Author Members Share Posted March 8, 2019 Congrats! So... how does it sound? Like..... "Plug me into that damn Marshall, and let's RAWK!" I can get that Leslie West "Mississippi Queen" tone with ease, and can go into a nice chimey clean with a twist of the volume knob. The P90 has all the bite you would expect, but little of the hum you would expect also. The tone control does it's job, with a nice taper on it, becoming noticeable around 7. Getting it balanced with all the strings has been a bit of challenge, requiring a few twists of the screw driver on each pole piece. But the chunky neck is a joy. The only issue is a slightly wonky 19th fret on the low E, but when was the last time you played a Bb at the 18th fret on the low E on a single cut?
