Offset · July 2023

So. Are you going to sell it?!

Deadman · July 2023

Blimey. Bill that’s a very cool looking thing. You’re an incredible builder!

Nightswan · July 2023

Superb work!!

tele69 · July 2023

thats a bloody beauty!

Corvus · July 2023

Thanks all! Ta very much.

@Offset not this one, it's too chopped about really so I'll best hang on to it. Love to make similar/different, Firebird-ish shaped things are my favourite.

Which reminds me, got some more cedrela in the pile and the lovely pickups from the white version.. hmm..

I love reverse FB’s.

That’s a lovely looking thing you’ve made.

Great work.

By the look of this thread there are a fair few of us that would happily over look any chopping about.

OOOF That is a very nice thing indeed!

An update - after a couple of attempts with other humless P90s, I saw Ash @OilCityPickups ;had a clearout thread with a pair of his in there, Eliminator P90s. Timely as I'd just pulled out the prev set of pickups.
They landed & got installed yesterday, and they are really good. I mean not 'OK for noiseless' good, just good. The bottom end is properly clear, the top end is there, not excessive not dull, just right. Basically they're great P90s, clean or dirty.

The chromey covers go OK with the ally plates & hardware I think. Might change to nickel some point but doubt it, time always seems short to mess with my own stuff. Anyway, I'm well chuffed with these, cheers Ash..

Aww thanks - you are only the third person in the world with Eliminators :-)
I'm really proud of them - proper P90 tone with no hum ... job done. Guitar looks excellent too!

F*ck me that’s lovely.

It sure is a beauty. I suspect I’m not the only member hoping Bill changes his mind about letting it out into the wild at some point!

That's darn cool!

I had an old bike I sprayed that colour as a kid.

Even the wiz deserves its own wiz!

TheMarlin · March 27

Wow! Want that!

Corvus · March 27

Thanks all! Most things are basically for sale if someone wants 'em, but in this case better a fresh one built. It's had a completely new neck and a great ol' chunk routed out the top & replaced to convert from HB's to P90s.

Another thing with these Eliminators, no problem balancing them, no big height variance. Sound great, super chuffed with them. Great job Ash, these deserve to do really well.

TheMarlin · March 27

Ash makes awesome P90’s!

I have a set on the way for my little Steinberger. Really lovely chap too!

Howdy, Stranger!
