Yeah I briefly had a MIJ JM with a Kinman prototype in the bridge, it was a wonderful pickup, all that top end glass and husk.

do triple p-90 guitars do the out of phase thing strats do? I had a firebird with that config like 10 years ago and don't remember it. on the other hand, I didn't really play clean tones at the time so I'm not even sure I checked.

my guitar is the same but i got a yamaha desktop amp that is keeping my still new-seeming casino very amusing. i know it's ot, but it is guitar adjacent at least. my bad chords now have new fiddly dimensions.

I tried a triple P90, sounded great to me. I was told that the disadvantage to “more pickups” is that it’s more magnets dampening the string resonance. I did notice this! Still sounded great.
Jazzmaster pickups look like P90s, and apparently “are very different”, but they sound v similar to my ears, the couple times I’ve had the joy of playing one

milo, syd's esquire was an opaque blonde finish originally, and he covered it in mylar sheets to make it silver and added the mirrored discs. he probably chose the blonde enquire because of the similarity to Steve cropper's telecaster.I think a more fitting tribute would be to take a guitar you already have that is associated with another player you admire and decorate it with found materials to divorce it from that association, y'know?

Has anyone bought guitar's at estate sales? Not sure if I should get overhyped but there's an estate sale from a lower-budget instrument collector and one of the items is a Telecaster Nashville Power Deluxe electric guitar w/ Fishman PUP. I don't know what a Fishman PUP is, but I've wanted a tele for a while now. Hoping I can get it for a couple hundred. it's hard for me to justify buying another guitar on-site if I'm not getting a sweet deal

Piezo bridge so you can sound like the worst acoustic guitar on Earth.

that seems like an absurdly good deal if it’s legit

as far as I can tell I think it is, he says 73, I found a serial number site that would placed it as produced in 72 but maybe he's off by a year or it was produced in late 72 and went out the door. also from what I can find the placement of the thumb rest is the old fashioned way, below the strings, which it looks like they moved in the 74.there is definitely a crack in the body but I'm assuming that is fine if repaired...my friend who knows a lot about that stuff says the only bad thing is he stripped the finish off the neck which apparently feels great at first but gets tacky as it gets dirty, but honestly I could have that refinished and still be way less than anything comparable

You could rub some tru-oil on the neck to re-seal it probably without even paying someone

Def worth getting your hands on and giving it a try.

lol so i was not necessarily in the market for a Mark Hoppus from Blink 182 signature bass but I didn't know this thing existed but a jazz bass body with a precision pickup is a pretty cool hybrid

Got the urge for a doom guitar to tune down to C# or a low open tuning, this seems like it might be awesome for that - noiseless P90s, Gibson scale, the Reverend bass contour knob

Either that or buy some 12s and tune my Danelectro down for lipstick doom...

i know people like them but i've never personally been a fan of how the reverend guitars look. but this is their one model that i think looks pretty slick:https://reverendguitars.com/guitars/bob-balch-signature-2/

IDK, it's not bad but it looks kind of like an AI-generated SG. The pickups look interesting though.

it’s not that different from the Guild Polara but for some reason that one looks cool to me: https://guildguitars.com/g/polara-deluxe-canyon-dusk/

the guitarist in my band has one he uses on a couple songs, sounds fantastic and he says it stays in tune or pretty well. really cool guitar

I have a blue one - the neck is frankly amazing, the tuners are a little hinky and the pickups are too hot - but it’s a great guitar. Beautiful build and finish.

The green Squier paranormal HH bass in that color looks pretty sweet if you want to color coordinate.
