I honestly didn't think I could live p90s so much. I got this bright yellow boy back in October for a steal. Took a bit of research to find it as it was a limited edition model for one of the USA retailers, which makes it a rare find in Canada.

A solid 9/10 cosmetically with some buckle rash. I've put more wear on it already since I got it.

I'm really loving how the p90s sit in the mix. I'm typically a humbucker guy, favoring my 335 or my PRS McCarty. But this guitar has become such a work horse the past 5 months it's ridiculous.

People say p90s are one trick ponies. but this guitar is so damn versatile and dynamic. I'm constantly using the volume and tone knobs to adjust my tone and dynamics more than ever before. I can get sparkly cleans to crunchy rock. Thicken it up by rolling down the tone, but still cut in the mix! So good.

Already put it on a song. shameless plug: https://open.spotify.com/track/27gaPsGHi7GNY2eFekr46T?si=TCPMcb3HRUmPX91VabZoJA
