Dave - I've just bought the double cut in natural, but I also own the singlecut version in red. The SG Classic with P-90s has a pretty chunky neck which I don't like either (as I mention above). These have the slim taper which is great.

I've just ordered the P-90s: Black soapbar P-90s, stock polarity, unpotted coils. Should sound proper vintage :D

ah, ok, thanks! sounds nice!

:drink:

Woo-hoo! P-90s are on their way to me! Can't wait to get them fitted at the weekend :D

Thanks Tim and the boys! Did you hurry these through? I've never had BKPs this quickly before ;)

Looks very nice. I've been thinking of getting an LP or SG Jr for a while now, I think I'd love the sound of p90s - I'm preferring the sound of singlecoils more nowadays.

Cheers guys. Saw Aerosmith in DUblin yesterday and Joe Perry opened playing Love In An Elevator on an SG with P-90s. The non-singing guitarist from The Feeling played a similar guitar for most of their set too.

P-90s making a comeback?

^Possibly, a lot of the new "indie" bands seem to use P90 guitars, and seem to have that nice jangly kinda tone for semi-clean stuff.

Looks nice TF! Could be good for some slide playing.

Slide? Can't play it for toffee!!

P-90s arrived today - just waiting for the lightweight tailpiece and CTS pots :D

I forgot to say, I love the guitar I think the DC is the most underrated guitar around
