Me: "That's a nice guitar, right?"

Wife: "I like those floors."

That's a pretty accurate assessment of how it normally goes.   :D

Really nice looking. What's going on with the toggle there? No nut attachment to the body?
Look closer, it's one of those screwy attachments with slots on both sides.
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Never seen that model before, looks awesome. I have a SG copy with P90's in it and I love them. Very versatile.

As I mentioned, until recently, I only had one P90 guitar.  This is the other:

That's one cool axe!
How do you set pickup height, from the back?

It is adjusted from the top of the pickup.

Ok that's it... I really need to finally get a guitar with P90s, to stop asking dumb questions...  ::) ;D

The Fender, in particular, is a guitar that will appeal to some and repulse others.  I like it.  I call it my Bastard Jaguar.  :-)

That's a sweet looking G&L!  I think you may be able to raise the bridge pickup by taking the springs or rubber tubing and shortening it. Longer screws are needed if you want to lower the pickup.

Unfortunately, this one does need longer screws.  There is plenty of spring from under the pickup, but if I raise it any more, the screws come out.  Once I get longer screws, I can raise it.

Very nice looking guitar! I have a cheapo p90 guitar headed my way. It is an Epiphone Les Paul Junior. It will be my first P90 guitar.

Nice guitar Dave. I recently set the exact same one up in the shop for a customer. Nice value and a good player really.

I am a P-90 fan as well and have one guitar with em (custom built by me). It is a tele-style body but with a short scale neck: 24.75" with a 12" radius. Has the "soul" of an SG  8)

Thanks guys, its one of my favorite builds.

cost to make I am not sure as its been a few years since I built it but I imagine a few hundred or so in materials/hardware.

The P90's are Gibson I got for really cheap from a customer and I modded them for hum-cancelling in mid position.
