UTILIZATION
'50 Rounded handle quite thick but very nice.
Lovers slim sleeves for such type may be surprised at first grip ("wow, what is this log") as the most historic pre 1960, but frankly we made it fast enough ... Personally I prefer, even with my hands Hobbit that's good.
LP ergonomics, lightweight and comfortable.
It's plug and play, you plug it sounds! Easily sound is obtained.
SOUNDS
It is suitable for all styles of music ... Mainly Blues, Rock ...
On my Marshall JTM & my '57 Fender Twin playing on the two knobs on the lens goes to fat greasy crunch. Do not hesitate to play the knob "Tone"!
His P90 doghear Gibson is correct.
A micro but it's muscular
Contrary to what one might think, the P90 bastonnent dry! More aggressive than Humbucker, the output level is a little lower, but it has much more edge and potato!
OVERALL OPINION
Used for a few months, I keep coming back for the Blues and Rock'n'Roll that pummeled.
I love everything about this guitar: The sound, the vintage look, its simplicity, lightness and versatility despite its single microphone.
