Members IRG Posted August 26, 2011 Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 I'm gassing for both a tele, and something with p-90s. I have a good tele, so maybe getting another one is redundant. There aren't many shapes of guitars I like with P-90s though. A Les Paul Studio with p-90s is one I do like, the Epiphone '56 Goldtop is nice too, not sure how the pickups are in it, compared to the Gibson P-90s. Anything else that is reasonably priced?Like this finish, or ugly? Also in black, but I already own a black LPCherry burst isn't bad either: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PunkRocker33133 Posted August 26, 2011 Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 If you changed the pickguard and pickup covers to black on the white one it would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Yarbicus Posted August 26, 2011 Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 Those are terrific and at the top of my list, too. Another great, less expensive option: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IRG Posted August 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 If you changed the pickguard and pickup covers to black on the white one it would be awesome That might work. Actually just taking the pickguard off the white one might be an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IRG Posted August 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 ^^Yeah I do like that. I don't see it on PGS's website, maybe I'm blind. Pretty hard to find, but I haven't really been looking. I'd definitely get it from PGS with a nice discount I get. I'll look some more. But yeah, this is nice. Not sure whether I like it more than the Les Paul though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members THeLoveGun Posted August 26, 2011 Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 that's the mofo I play with. Unfortunately, the mk2 has an uglier body. I think they have similar Reverends, check it out. The only gripes I have with it is that I've had maybe better humbuckers in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IRG Posted August 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 except this and this I've always liked this guitar, but SG's just seem too thin to me, I like the body heft of a tele or LP. But yeah, really nice otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted August 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 it has to be goldtop LP p90. nothing else matters It's always the first thing I think of too. Can't afford the Gibson versions. Edwards makes a nice one too, still not cheap. I hear good things about the "lowly" Epi Goldtop '56. I don't know if the pickups are decent, or should be replaced (probably). Who is making great p-90s these days, Lollar, others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mlabbee Posted August 26, 2011 Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 That's the 60's tribute one, right? The black one is nice in real life - I played one the other day. The neck was too fat for me, but otherwise seemed like a really nice guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted August 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 Is Epi making the '56 Goldtop anymore? I can't find it on their website. Those above are hot^^ I do like two pickups though, not one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seajay Posted August 26, 2011 Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 Do they still sell these?It's got a faded finish so it's somewhat of a budget model. Mine, pictured above, sounds pretty righteous. People are right for being fans of P90's; they just {censored}ing snarl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tele has a pretty thick neck though, so I'm used to it, like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit, yep, kinda pricey now at $999 though. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/gibson-les-paul-junior-special-double-cutaway-electric-guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
