Sounds great - really bright and snappy.  Proper good wood back in them days...

Those P90's sound great and indeed quite some quality wood behind it. I would not fancy the bridge though. The 56-models are a better choiche for proper intonation.
Mules, VHII, Crawler, MM's, IT's, BG50's.

Did you listen? The chords up the neck sounded fine to my ears!

Another guy doing another great demo of another '54 Goldtop. This guitar, rather than a '59 burst is my holy grail.

That one's had a fair old life - always a sign of a good sounding guitar!
