Local dealer got this in and I decided to go check it out. It was really tugging at me so I figured I’d gift myself an early B-day present which is a couple weeks away.
I’ve always had a soft spot for a “mutt” like this with a P90 in the neck and a humbucker in the bridge. Ever since the ‘BFG’ Les Paul that Gibson came out with in 2007 I believe.
I told myself I wasn’t going to get a relic but this is subtle enough that it doesn’t bother me. Light Aged. Just enough that I’ll never worry about the “first ding”.
R0 with a ‘V2’ spec neck. Definitely thinner than R9 but still comfy. I was apprehensive at first but actually really liked it after demoing it for 20 minutes in the amp room.
I really dug the top and I’m a sucker for lemon bursts. It’s right at 9.0 lbs.
The bridge pickup just screams. Nice squawk or honk to it. Just sounds vintagey and hot to my ear. The P90 is sweet and jangley. And then middle position is best described as rich and smokey. Really nice. I usually don’t dig the middle position on HH guitars. But I do like the middle on my 3pu Custom (bridge+middle). This is similar but thicker.
Played it for over an hour when I got home. Sounded amazing through a Silver Jubilee!!
