<===============================================

Just picked up a blonde one off eBay. $207.70 delivered in a hard shell tweed case. I must say, this is the first P90 guitar I have ever owned and it is a fun little rock and roll machine. It was technically used but the guy had never even set it up - plastic still on the p'ups and pg. I spent about 3 hours playing a bunch of old rock stuff - some I played when it was new and some I just was inspired to try because of the sound of the guitar. I like this thing a lot. The guitar has piles of sustain. I wonder, is it the P90s or the agathis body? As I said, I never had P90s before. It holds its own for twang, but it's really made for rock. Sounded pretty decent for jazz too,but I'd set it up for flat wound 11's if I turned it into a Jazz Tele. I had to file a few sharp fret ends but the neck is nice. It's spec'ed as a C shape. It feels about like my other Teles have felt.

P90's are magic to me... I have a set of lollar's in my Les Paul and they spank bark growl and howl... just amazing sounds... keep messing with them and you will love them even more:)

Raise the p90's, they are set too low as stock. Love the neck pickup, so thick and bluesey but with definition and not muddy.

Congrats, I have the same guitar and it's a great inexpensive option for a P90 tele. I thought I'd end up switching out the pups but the stock duncan designs don't sound half bad. This guitar makes me want to consider the Squier SSH model tele with the mini humbucker in the neck.

Sounds like a really nice one. The one that I demo'd recently down the street had sharp fret edges, and otherwise worth the demo!

Mine is my number 1!

P-90 IMO sound best with the coils close to the string, not the screw adjustments, but the coils them selves...
