I have decided to get shut of my Epiphone casino, not digging the neck (too narrow/thin) so i'm looking for something with P90's.
A few pre-requisites:
Light body
Medium Jumbo frets
Rosewood or ebony fretboard (NOT MAPLE)
£1000 or less
Decent pickups (obviously)
I have a JV modified 60's fender tele that has a neck I dig a lot, so something similar to the thick Soft "V" maple neck and 9.5" radius fretboard, doesnt matter if its a touch bigger.
2nd hand or brand new I dont mind.
Edit: Already own an SG tribute so not really looking to get an SG special or Les Paul (plus the neck profile isn't what im looking for)
So no Gibsons unless its an absolute steal.

As for a non-Gibson P90 equipped guitar - try a Fender Noventa series. IMHO, they were a bit odd but they sounded OK.

I played a Revstar P90 at the weekend, sounded and felt great. Stainless steel frets as well.

As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
