New SG on the way!

[ZMAN]

Here is my original 1968 SG to Compare to.



I have a better picture in my Fret Net photos on page 2.

I took it out to practice this evening and I'm impressed. The P90's cut a nice little swath through the mix. They have some jangle to them, but it's not harsh. The volume and tone controls are very responsive and I never had a problem getting the guitar to sit where it should in the mix. The guitar sounds good clean, but it's distinctive. Driven to distortion, it sounds nice and thick - with a bit of the single coil jangle.

The neck pickup is absolute heaven on leads.............................

This one's a keeper and it's going to the gigs.

Plankster...I finally got around to seeing the pics of your new SG now that we have broadband at home. Tremendous axe man!!! That looks as good as I KNOW it sounds. Congrats again!

[Plank_Spanker]

Thanks, T2B! I see myself spending a good deal of time with this guitar.

Thank goodness. I thought I'd read in another post that you wanted a black one. This is the right color for a vintage style SG. That's awesome.

I did want a black one, but they were out of stock with no word on future availabity, so cherry it is...................

When the weather cooperates, I'll take it outside for some better pics. It's a one piece body with some nice grain.

Didn't realize you had pics posted Plank. Just saw them... great looking guitar.

Yup... Pics of guitars always turn out better when taken outside.

Watch of for birds though...

OK..................a couple of more pics and I promise I won't post any more for a while.......................







I am really digging this guitar. I can't get enough of these P90's.

For all my gripes with Gibson the corporation, there is no denying that that is one hawt guitar.

Hey plank: Is this your first P90? I would like to hear what you think of them compared to A. The humbuckers, and B: Fender Singles.
Mine is orginal and those 1968 P90s sure have some balls. The whole guitar is not that thick, compared to an LP, but she sure has some cool tones.
I really don't play it enough.

Hey Plankster can I borrow your 'outside world' for some photo shoots? Beautiful man and welcome to the P90 universe!

This is my first P90 equipped guitar. I bought the guitar for a more aggressive, "in your face" sound and that's exactly what it has. To me, the tone is somewhere between humbuckers and traditional singles. The pickups are pretty hot, but they're not harsh or an "icepick through the ears". They have a pretty defined midrange punch and the guitar definitely cuts. They're not as rounded as humbuckers or as punchy as traditional singles. This guitar is going to be a mainstay at gigs.

Sorry, didn't know you had pics already too! I personally really like the cherry over basic black. I think it is beautiful. Nice score! :

[Plank_Spanker]

Yeah, I'm sorta glad I didn't get black. The cherry looks pretty classy.

No need to buy steaks Plank. Tone'll poach you up some venison from that State Park behind you.
