No probs Wez!  That mock up looks superb, exactly as I pictured it!  Should look brilliant in the flesh  :D

How's the body coming on?

Just an idea.

If you prefer the look of a P90, TV Jones makes a fliterton in a P90 cover.

The only good thing about that guitar is that Wez is making it!

Scratch that, there is one more thing that is good about it: it's not mine! :)

Hope the wait isn't too agonising... how will you cope with only a few PRSs for company?! :D

I knew you'd love it Roo  :lol:

I think I'll just about manage to cope  ;)

Just noticed that I seem to have a thing for blue guitars at the moment!

i have the body cut out, neck pocket cut and top egde routed for binding.  if i get chance i will get some more pics soon but its going to be a busy weekend camping in the rain

Roo - would you not be tempted to borrow it just to see the look on your bandmates face when it came out the case!

Ratrod - damn you - that pickup looks nice.  I think i prefer the look of the toasters but having that option for P-90 guitars is really cool.

While they may be amused/violently ill, I think I might come off considerably worse for it ;)

Amusing?  :?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess!  :lol:

I just laughed my @ss off when i saw that blue sparcle stuff, i had something like an esquire in my head, but with clear nitro back and sides and a carved, black maple top or something like that.

Anyway, i like your crazy plans TF, ill bet it sounds great aswell with a good quality korina and a maple top!

No maple top, just pure korina goodness  :)

Marc - those Doozys look great!

You're not a million miles away there Lew!

Body binding - yep!
Single pickup in a Tele body - yep!

Then Phil kicks in with this:






But the colour's all wrong and what's the body made out of????????????

Surely Fender need to make a production version of "La Cabronita".
Maybe Squire will make one, it could be the successor to the Squire '51

I have to admit, I've never seen a black Les Paul Standard with p90s  :oops:
Looks great, like a black/goldtop  8)

They were supposed to only be making 10 of each in black or gold, but I've seen red ones too.  Looks like they'll be a limited run from time to time?

I agree, Squier ones would be a BIG seller.
