P-92 + G&L Bluesboy = So tasty it doesn't need sauce

I took out the stock humbucky out of my trusty G&L last night, and replaced it with a Fralin P-92. Gosh dern, after some adjustments, I can't believe it. It sounded pretty good before, now it's incredible. It's really become 3 different instruments depending on the switch placement. Really nice!

 

It even seems to make my tone controls more effective, although I wonder if I shouldn't upgrade those down the road. I need to do something about the jack, as it's constantly loose, and doesn't hold the cable plug very well either. $4 + solder fix...but that would mean I have to stop playing!

The Bluesboy is the only modern G&l I am interested in. What pick-up did your guitar come with in the neck position, a Seth Lover? I have heard the Bluesboy is a wonderful guitar. Tim Page at Buffalo Bros. designed that with G&L.

 

Good to hear you are digging the Fralin,

I think it's something like a Seth Lover. From what I've read, even the US Bluesboys don't come stock with Seth Lover's any more. I know when I pulled my pickup, it had a big G&L logo on the back. I think they are good pickups still, but probably not the name recognition nor price of a Seth.

 

If I could do it all over (and had more patience), I think I might hold out for a US Bluesboy. I think my G&L could stand a little attention to the frets, and I believe all US model's are Plek'ed. If that's worth a $500 premium or so, I kinda doubt it, but ymmv.

 

Good luck in your search!

They do still come with Seth Lovers. G&L is outstanding. My guitars are all G&L, Heritage and PRS. Love the good stuff.
