    Thanks, NWBasser.

    Buy the way, it was easy to fund this because I cleared out some instruments. I am still pairing down and will ditch two more to bring the collection down to the bear essentials.
    What stays is simply my childhood friend - my old Kramer Pacer Imperial, my JV Strat, my tele, the newly aquired LP, and maybe my Charvel So Cal. Oh, and my old acoustic.

    Not to be a wet blanket, but be sure to check out the finish really well, including the neck. There have been several recent Tribute LP's that had the finish pealing off.
    Of course, that doesn't mean all of them, and you'll likely be fine. Just a heads-up.

    Thanks. I have also read that Gibson is passing off MIA guitars that are actually made elsewhere. Interesting...

    Nice ~
    I got a 50's Tribute with P-90's and that finish when they first came out a few years ago. The finish has held up very well. The chambered construction gives it a unique tone. It's a great guitar, I love it.

    I had a mild interest in the 50s with P90s and regret not getting one. I still have no P90 equipped guitar Nice to know the finish can hold up. I was thinking it would wear in no time at all.

    No P90 in your stable? Don't you think that's a condition that needs to be rectified ASAP?

    Seriously, unless you hate the sound of a certain-style pup, it's great to have the sonic pallette covered as much as finances allow. lol

    On my pup bucket list are the Jason Lollar Supro pups and the VintageVibe Charlie Christian pups.

    I suffer from this same affliction. My friend has essentially this same guitar...pre flood, Rosewood board, P90's, black, 50's neck. the thing just screams "abuse me" and I've come this/close too many times. Hearing Stingx and OtayPanky gush about them is not helping matters at all. I really cannot afford a GAS relapse at the moment.

    Haven't touched the JV since purchasing. I love the neck on this guitar.

    Hmm, I haven't heard this and it sounds sketchy. There are, however, lots of Chinese-made fake Gibsons floating around. If you bought new at a dealer, there should be no prob.

    I'm a big P-90 fan, up to 5 now:

    3 solidbodies:

    a singlecut w/a single GFS HB-sized bridge P-90

    a singlecut w/2 Gibson P-90s

    a doublecut w/2 Seymour Duncans

    1 purely hollowbody with a dogear Epi and a dogear Rio Grande

    1 chambered solidbody w/2 dogear Epi P-90s

    Definitely try one out, but be careful, they're addictive!

    Thanks, Monkus. Hey Brian, you have a cool collection. In seeking out a P90 guitar I've been giving thought to a Reverend model. I like to try before buying so that makes it a little tough for me. Always liked them and that would kill two birds with one stone

    Thanks. Man, a Rev would be a cool way to go. I've never owned or even played one, have only seen one played locally once, quite a few years ago. Good luck, and congrats again!

    Beautiful Axe!! uh oh! i'm getting GAS bigtime now. Love a goldtop, even though I prefer the 60's neck myself. My Paul has BB's in it, might be getting close to a new pup configuration. Also, I love p-90's and having only one gitfiddle such equipped might have to bring another mule into the stable!! Great Find!!!
