I have two guitars with P90s....
A Waterstone Hollowbody with Lollar Overwound P90s....Amazing, not horribly noisy at all....Excellent rock raunch with great bluesy rolloff tones...
A Waterstone Semi Hollobody with Fralin Noiseless P90s....Very good, no noise....Weird, right.,....It's at the expense of output volume but works very nicely with a great rockabilly tone

Yeah, I've got all three, LP Junior, LP Special, and SG Special. And yes, I think they sound similar, certainly related. They feel different, though, but for no other reason that they're different guitars. The LP Jr. is fun for heavy rock, the SGS is, well, an SG, and the LPS is somewhere in between.errrrrl":2lbh77zm said:

bro I love my Jr. Probably my favorite guitar to play. Such a simple beast, but it's just pure rock n' roll.

Couldn't have said it any better. There's just something about it that makes an LP Jr incredibly fun to play. Like you said... "just pure rock n' roll."Riggins1966":1f4gbmd2 said:

That does sound good,I like your playing here too..whatever tuning that was that you changed to around the 4:05 mark was awesome..heavy sludge ! Do you remember what you tuned down to at around the 4:05 time ? The P 90's sounded really deep,growling.JerEvil":2nsh75ph said:

Back in the 90's I had a 1968 Les Paul Deluxe with P90. It was a great guitar.
Today I ordered a P-Rail neck and Triple Shots to put on my Les Paul with JB in the bridge.

So I scored a LP Jr special double cut on ebay for a little under $600 with those bigger newer Gibson hard cases. Comes with Kinman branded p90s in it which I googled to be pretty decent, I'm stoked. Its a 2015 model with those robo tuner things and that metal nut thing but for the price I paid I'd say its a good step and probably not my last into the P90 world.
Thanks guys for all the replies. I'll try to make some clips of it eventually.

Nice! I've always liked those LP DCs, just something primal about them. Hope you enjoy it and the P90s!!

nice score man! The zero fret nut on these is usually a little weak. I have a 2015 also, and the brass nut started to show wear the same day I got it. Started pinging right off.
I can't endorse this enough as a replacement, straight drop in with no modding required:
http://www.graphtech.com/products/b...t-nut?id=e7a786ba-411f-4270-9c14-54363a50e627
Made tuning stability spot on. Never goes out now, and no more annoying "catching the divot" on the zero fret anymore.
I also replaced my tuners with Hipshot open back locking tuners, but it's because my robo tuners were glitchy and couldn't manual tune well. mostly work for others just fine.
