The Shark Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 This one's on the way. I've had a love hate relationship with P90s since I was a teen. We'll see what happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtrdaddy Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Looks like a fun one! Looking forward to the tone report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Love the Korina-coloured mahogany. Love the bound neck Love P-90's, they sound great. In case of too much hum, buy Kinman's (or Fralin's). Gabe 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrjamiam Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Not many digits in that serial number. I don't understand their scheme. Pretty nice-looking fiddle, though, for not being a Hamer. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghamerinfrance Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Gibson...So Mahogany from the Custom Shop version...A good choice. Enjoy !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtone Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Dig it! Mahogany + P90's go together like peanut butter and jelly. Play. da. yit. right. out. of. it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieman Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 What is the model, year, etc.? I have been think about a double cut with single or double P90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveL Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Wow. Nice axe. The 0 on headstock means 60 reissue special. My local store has a batch of stuff from the custom shop. (Mahog) but they all rock. The 57/58/59 specials and juniors have fuller necks but pretty sure the 60 has a decent sized neck. At least compared to the earlier 90’s hamers. Dig the nylon nuts that are usually well cut. Rock it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 2005 VOS model. The neck carve is, being a '60, is a bit thinner than a '59 and a good bit thinner than a '58. It's only 8.4 pounds. The guy had the wrong weight on the ad on Reverb. I asked him to weigh it and the great weight is what sold me. And the killer mahogany/finish. It does look like some of their Flying V's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you're mistaken. I have one heavy guitar. They are usually about 12 pounds (no shit). This one is 10 pounds even, so you could say that I bought a "light" one...

Jakeboy Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I get the love-hate p90 thing totally...I currently have a p90 in my Newport bridge and it is perfect.. but only because I can switch to the sweet middle or throaty neck when needed. I LOVE a bridge p90, but can tire of it if that is the only tone.....but none more better for rock and roll! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeboy Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 @Disturber I had AC at Rumpelstiltskin Pickups wind an HB sized P90 for the bridge and a alnico Rod single for the neck...also HB sized. I like the Casino vibe. Models are called the Archer neck and Chameleon bridge. The Rumpeltrons are now back in my Artist. OP, I apologize for the hijack..,your new Special looks beautiful.
