Another PRS SE on the way...
« on: March 02, 2012, 02:25:55 PM »
I've had a bit of GAS for a P90 guitar again for a little while, and playing Feline's latest Lion Cub really didn't help!  I didn't want to spend a fortune so I've keeping an eye on eBay, a few shop websites and a couple of forums.  Nothing really whetted my appetite until the guitar below appeared on eBay today.  It arrives on Tuesday, pretty good looking for £325 I thought, and worth paying a little bit more than I wanted to for it.

I had BKP P90s in a Gibson LP DC Special a little while back which sounded great, but I prefer the PRS McCarty style scale length and control layout.  Now the range has changed I'm not sure what the equivalent is to the 'old' P90, so I'll have to give BKP a ring.  I may try the BKP pots and Jensen cap too.....

Another good choice, sir! I like that. I think I'd change the knobs on it as well as the pickups but that's just me.

I've been thinking P90 thoughts recently too. If a Soapbar McCarty trem ever turns up I may be rendered helpless.

I can't see the pics!  Is it a Singlecut or Double?

Nice score, Dave. Every guitar player should own one guitar with p90s  :D

The flame top looks good, but I think I prefer the more classic look of a non flame top on a jr.-esque guitar.

Get some BKPs in this baby and then it's sound clips all the way  :D

I had 91's in mine and they were perfect. 92's were a bit much.

Nantuckets are the pickups you want.   Tim told me that they are the old LP Junior spec.  I've just got a set to put in a 74 LP 55 Special
