No, but you can send me the money so I can buy it.

OK give me your bank details and pin just to be sure,  I'll wire it over

Blimey!
The Spark Mini didn't last long.
Of course you need P90s in your life.

prefer the THR for overall sound quality and more "twiddly knobs"

I think I'd probably really like p90s. Never tried.

A dc special would be cool. Probably quite similar to my The Paul though.

that's my angle TBH  -  I "used" to want a LP Std gold top P90,  but now something a little "raw-er" perhaps  BUT I really dont like the specials/jnrs with the big pick-guards,   I saw a 2015 DC special,  which doesnt have it,  BUT its got the wanky gibson auto tuners and a zero nut thing....................

P90's are awesome!

Been playing my LP tribute special loads since I got it a year ago.

I used to think you were indecisive - but now I’m not so sure…

McCarty Soapbar - goldtop, dot inlays.

Been there. I would recommend the following: take one dog-eared alnico magnetted P90, add one well weathered but solid Junior (pref. Gibson or near equivalent), thrash to your hearts content, and report back in about 6 months time.

The good thing about the Gibson zero fret nut is that you can easily replace it with a drop-in Tusq adjustable nut, which is perfect - being able to adjust nut height with an allen key allows perfect action setup...

I have this that could be tweaked from my grasp for £850. 2009 SG Classic.

@merlin ;   thanks, but never really been an SG fan

you know I "might" just pull the trigger on one of those yellow HB LP DC juniors...................need to sound the ground out first

Not sure of your budget, but I would be looking at that

If you are thinking cheap DC junior then might I interest you in a Vintage V130:

I've had lots of guitars with humbuckers, and lots with P-90s... I'd quite like one with a humbucker at the bridge and a P-90 at the neck, I haven't tried that combo.

I've been thinking of getting something like that SG Classic/Special and sticking a humbucker in the bridge.  That big scratchplate would hide any surgery.

I'd forgotten that one.  It does look good, but it's got the bloody slim taper neck and I'd have to bin the robot tuners....  I really wish I'd kept my Pete Townshend signature SG, it was a big mistake selling that one.
