I find myself wanting a P90 equipped guitar. Anyone have actual experience with the PRS SC594 Soapbar and the Gibson 1956 Goldtop Reissue with P90’s? Comparisons appreciated.
If that guitar sounds half as good as it looks, sheesh!I’ve had quite a few P90 guitars over the years, mostly Gibson. They were ok, but didn’t have the sound that, oddly, I thought Gibson P90s were known for. I tried Ernie Ball, nice but not that sound. I even tried a PRS Mira P90, and it was a great guitar, but still not the sound I remember from the 60s rockers using them back when. Then I got a 594 Soapbar Limited. Bam! That awesome tone from the first day. The special Soapbar pickups they used, combined with the spectacular build quality of the 594, created a real keeper of a guitar.
If you want a real deal P90 tone machine, you’ll find it here. Mine is pictured below.
Thanks! Yeah, it ended my P90 search completely. Looks, tone, playability; it’s all there!If that guitar sounds half as good as it looks, sheesh!
I kinda like the singlecut look with the P90sThanks! Yeah, it ended my P90 search completely. Looks, tone, playability; it’s all there!
That’s a really nice guitar, and I’ve never seen one like it. Impressive.I really enjoy my P90 guitars, though none are PRS. Three P90s give much more variation in sound than I expected.
The one I play the most is this one.
Not many have. As far as I know, Ron Thorn made three of this style.That’s a really nice guitar, and I’ve never seen one like it. Impressive.
Ditto. And since we're past the formalities and into the smut now:Thanks! Yeah, it ended my P90 search completely. Looks, tone, playability; it’s all there!
The P90s look nicer in the 594 than anything I’ve ever owned. That look just fits.Ditto. And since we're past the formalities and into the smut now:
