Title: Gretsch electromatic with p90's
Post by: Baby Evil on August 18, 2013, 02:59:29 PM: I'm thinking of getting a 5420 and install P90's in it. Does BKP have P90's that are high enough to fit?

best

give them a ring.

This is British English for 'give them a (phone) call' - but if you live far enough away to have not heard this before the cost and/or time difference may well be a factor! :D

I used to be teased about this by my American ex-wife every time I said I was going to 'ring my parents' (back in Australia). :(

I'm not British, but a huge fan of British comedy. It might have slipped that way in my vocabulary. :)
Nah, just mail the lads at BKP.

Nope! Brits are the best!

Bravo, what did you put in the Gretsch? Neckpickup looks like a Duesenberg.
