I think, although it's a close run thing, that the converted 53 Standard is my favourite, but frankly they're all superb. One hell of a nice collection you have there Phil.

I cannot think of a "tastic" saying and so will stick with "quite nice". No really, very very nice and I agree about P90's-they are in a league of their own.

Bee-Ay-Oo-Tee-Fool!

I love that '53 Standard - just looks like its a joy to play.

In fact, they all look like they'd play brilliantly and sound even better!

Hey man, how does sound this Pig-90??? It looks sexy to me, but I'm afraid of it is much "one way sound"...

It is not as much one sound as you might think.  It is a P-90 sound with more bass to it really.  It still retains the clarity of a P-90, and has most of the attacking growl.  It also cleans up really well (but after all it is a BK  8) )

Sorry to revisit this, but I just had to look at this again!
In theory, is your 53-59 conversion not a 53-60 conversion because of tailpiece angle anyway?

The 53 had the wrap under bridge and this one has had it replaced with a tailpiece/tune-o-matic.  The tailpice angle is slightly flatter from the side, but it is square to the strings.  The 54/55 models have the slanted wrap over tailpieces. 

My collection is a bit less now, the custom has gone and I sold the 71-54 (but got a great 81 BC Rich Mockingbird!).  I do have 2 more on the way sometime soon though (they are custom builds).
