    Very nice, congrats. I've really been digging the P90 sound myself lately. What I really like is with a 2 volume guitar the variety of tones is just great when blending between the two pickups. I didn't know they quit making the Soapbar II. Good find. So is it a keeper?

    Thanx, Spuds, she's a lifer just from the comfort and playability aspect, like a favorite girlfriend. PRS' are like that, always a good gamble. Got some real throatiness coupled with ballsy clarity and some singing top end, a sweet spectrum of sounds that can only get better, and evolving sonic differences with every amp change. Not a boring guitar! The heavy-ish strings it came with helps all that it seems. I started getting whammy fever due to the nice trebly sounds available and I see a Bigsby trem will fit which I was doubtful about because of the PU selector switch. Very cool, except it's a shame to hide the top's figuring. I might mod with concentric pots to get the blend capabilities like you say, it's been a plan for my Santana so now I'll do both if I do one. A pair of Barden soaps could also be in the plans simply out of curiousity. They sound way different, but I really like the stock neck PU, a lot more than the bridge which is pretty good, so more time with'r will help on that front. I can tell already my other guitars are jealous!
