crunchee Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 No affiliation. Maybe they were trying to make a humbucker setup? Or is this the granddaddy of the Phantom/Prototype triple pickup? https://reverb.com/item/11383024-gibson-es-175-sunburst-1955-s498 I'd say that the asking price is a bit optimistic...unless there's a way to turn it into a Switchmaster/ES-175 hybrid with a third P-90.

Tortious Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Sweet. Kahler it! Does CME charge themselves the standard Reverb fees? 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prototype-fan Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I kind of like it. It's quirky but not obnoxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonge Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Kinda looks like a weird Photoshopped image. Maybe it's Joe Pass's Mr Horsepower mach 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that, or a yokel who wanted a two-pickup guitar but didn't have a picture of one to go by. At least they put in two of the same pickup, or something pretty close to it.

Biz Prof Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Looks like one of those ridiculous modded low rider compact pickups from the '90s with an added dummy second rear axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 One of the pickups did not work, so they put another one just like it right beside it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim777 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 That's just sad to do that to a '55 175 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomteriffic Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 If one of those was RWRP it would get rid of the P-90 buzz. Further, if it was wired as a dummy coil, the tone would be essentially unchanged. Still, it looks kinda goofy. sort pf hillbilly engineered.
