I don't know. As I mentioned, it might be better with new strings and proper pup alignment. But so far I've found the '51 to be more evenly balanced and more resonant. I've just got to back off the treble on the amp for the '51. My comments so far on the STCII are based on "right out of the box". I was hitting some hammer-ons on the high E that this guitar was missing where the '51 was there. But again, it could be set-up. I'm glad to hear you like yours, so I'll keep checking it out with the encouragment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sumasmreq Posted September 28, 2005 Members Share Posted September 28, 2005 SO??? I might want one of these I need to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted September 28, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 28, 2005 I woke up this morning telling my wife I was going to send it back. Then I sat down and played it and I was enjoying it again. I'm way too confused to make an up or down vote. With the 509T source code you get the guitar plus a bag. It's a pretty good deal. You could always send it back. (P.S. You have to ask for the bag since the flyer doesn't describe it, but the online site does at the regular price). But I'm not really looking toward modding anohter guitar, so I was hoping I'd be fairly happy with it as is. You have to also think that this might be a couple hundred you could put toward a better P-90 guitar. But I also want to emphasize that this guitar is brighter than my Gibson LP juniors, so I don't think it's a typical P-90 tone IMHO. I'll go play it next to my '51 again and come back with some more thoughts. Do you have any specifics I haven't covered here? (Batotman seems to love his.)

Members GAS Man Posted September 28, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 28, 2005 P.S. Also note that up above I mention that I haven't set up the pup height yet (or even really measured the clearance yet), but to do so, I have to remove all the plastic that covers the pg, pup screws and the pups themselves. It looks like the pole pieces are adjustable, so there should be some room to dial in the tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
