Members Loobs Posted August 27, 2011 Members Share Posted August 27, 2011 Nice, looks very similar to mine, except mine (thankfully) has Grovers rather than Klusons. These guitars are hard to beat. So versatile. I can get everything from Grant Green type jazz tones to punk to country twang to Gilmour from it. Never thought I'd say this but it's eclipsed my ASAT Special as being my favourite guitar. The ASAT sits there gathering dust most of the time now.

Members IRG Posted August 27, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 27, 2011 Wonder if there's any way to get the loaded pick guard?I really do like this model too, what is the consensus about these pickups then? Sound great in that PGS video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Loobs Posted August 27, 2011 Members Share Posted August 27, 2011 Wow, that is quite a statement. Yeah, man. I find the ASAT really too bright nowadays. I think that may be because I'm leaning towards playing a lot of jazz lately though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to quit dicking around with all these other guitars I own and just find myself a kickass Historic Special and be done. It's the perfect guitar for me for a variety of reasons, I just never get to see one in person in lefty to know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Loobs Posted August 27, 2011 Members Share Posted August 27, 2011 That's not a Historic, it's a mid 90s Special. I've played Historics which were awesome but this one is really nice too. Must've been a good period for Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must've been a good period for Gibson. Yeah I know - I'd want the wraptail bridge. Howard has a Historic that sounds infrickingcredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Loobs Posted August 27, 2011 Members Share Posted August 27, 2011 I have no idea who Howard is, but why would you want a wraparound over the tom/stop tail? Looks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard = Kittycaster/CBread pedal designer and video dude. The wraptail intonates just fine and I like the ring of the guitar better, it does look better IMO but that's not the main reason for me.

I think that may be because I'm leaning towards playing a lot of jazz lately though. Well that makes sense, single coils with jazz would tend to be a bit bright I suppose. You find P-90s darker then? Or just less high end treble response perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crohny Posted August 27, 2011 Members Share Posted August 27, 2011 p90s can be darker and much thicker than a strat type single coil. they can be bright too though. but not overwhelming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
