Description
What makes this guitar special: Simple, classic, and endlessly playable, this Tribute model is an absolute staple in any roster. The most notable aspect has to be the absolutely gorgeous cut of mahogany used for the neck. It shows dramatic variegation in long streaks that move throughout its length and it also seems to have a subtle shimmer found more commonly in higher grade cuts. The P-90s is comes loaded with are chock-full of traditional chime and jangle in all three positions from the warmer, more rounded neck, to the crisp articulation of the bridge. The Gold Top finish gives this a regal and historic look and is perfectly complemented by its mahogany body. The satin finish stays much cleaner than its glossy brethren, and also provides less friction when moving around the neck as well. Plus, this guitar is still in great shape for a used instrument and will serve as a solid workhorse with looks to boot.
Condition: This guitar is in excellent condition overall. Outside of light surface scratches and small dings here and there, as well as some light wear along a few edges and a small chip in the back of the headstock, it is still in fantastic shape for a used guitar. The frets show very little wear and still have a full lifetime of playing left in them. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should.
Body: Single cutaway mahogany body with a maple top in Gold Top finish. Chrome Tune-o-matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece. Black top hat control knobs.
Neck: Slim to medium depth D shape mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlays. Chrome Grover tuning machines with kidney bean buttons. 1 11/16” nut width. 24.75” scale length.
Electronics: P-90 pickups in the neck and bridge. 2 x volume, 2 x tone controls. 3-way pickup selectors.
Weight: 8 lbs 6.1 oz
Playability/Sound: The neck moves very easily from the nut to the cutaway and should be a familiar shape to most players. The P-90s sound great and provide a ton of classic chime and jangle, with a bit more body in the neck and crispness in the bridge.
Case: Includes original gigbag.
