Members erksin Posted August 28, 2011 Members Share Posted August 28, 2011 Well you can't own a 330-style guitar and not want to play some GG on it, they are textbook tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thenakedarab Posted August 28, 2011 Members Share Posted August 28, 2011 Save some money, get a pair of SK Guitar Specialties Dual Tone II's for your LP and have kick ass P90, alnico 5 SC, and HB tones in one axe. Steve will custom wind the pickups to match your target sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pbone Posted August 28, 2011 Members Share Posted August 28, 2011 How do you like the Heritage? I was looking at one of those in lefty online - they seem like great guitars. This is my dream hollowbody: WHATISTHAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Loobs Posted August 28, 2011 Members Share Posted August 28, 2011 Pascal - you rule. Did you change out the pickguard on the Heritage? They have those weird looking angular pickguards now, stock. And yeah, to own a semi/hollow guitar with P90s and not play some Grant Green licks on it is just wrong. My Special can cop a decent GG tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Loobs Posted August 28, 2011 Members Share Posted August 28, 2011 WHATISTHAT An ES-330... Fwiw, I've never really enjoyed the 60s 330s I've played. Always felt unresonant and sounded dull to me. I guess there's a reason they're the fraction of a 60s 335. Maybe I played some lemons, or used the wrong amp. P90s like bright amps I think.

Members erksin Posted August 28, 2011 Members Share Posted August 28, 2011 P90s like bright amps I think. Grant was using a 5E3 Deluxe back on those classic early '60s Van Gelder/Blue Note records, it kinda makes sense - roll back your volume for cleans on that amp and the sparkle comes out. Thats the key to getting his sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted August 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 Erksin, know anything about the pickups in this model? Black Dove p90s. Anything special about them? I'm starting to lean towards this model now, as my local dealer will give me a good trade in for my RW strat, as they seem difficult to resell right now. Great necks on these too.

I asked a while back and the consensus was that they are good, but a bit different from your typical P-90, maybe a bit more tight/less nasty. I'm thinking about putting p-90's in my Deluxe and am contemplating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said I could buy them through a dealer. I'm deciding whether I want to go that route or the terrapin pickguard/aftermarket pickup way.

I'm thinking about putting p-90's in my Deluxe and am contemplating them. They did seem a bit tighter to me, but I dunno if I'd agree with the "less nasty" part. Maybe less nasty just because they're tighter? They definitely seemed like they had some hair (that said, my test drive was fairly brief). -E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not bad, just looks like the shape was left out in the sun too long, and it melted a little bit. The finish is nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
