Yooper Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 If I didn't already have a gold top under 9 lbs. I'd call dibbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 2 hours ago, Kuz said: I think the neck on that one is thicker than a '59, more like a '56. A GREAT sounding guitar..... I would say "Dibbs" but Josh has managed to hold on to his Custom 535 for like a year now (it has to be some kind of a personal best). So has the man changed his ways.... hmmmm..... It’s thinner than my 535, definitely thinner then Yoopers R7 Gold Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Just play the f**king thing"!!! Whatever the exact specs of the neck, it's the biggest necked Heritage I have ever owned and more importantly a GREAT sound & playing guitar.

kidsmoke Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Right on DB. Happy to see you with a 150 in the stable, and with P90's no less. Now you can work on your "Boston" riffs. Without going to far astray....what are you playing through these days? I'm trying to conjure an aural image.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidsmoke Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 go bold with gold, the north woodsman said, as his friend assessed his new mistress grasping the neck and nodding approval, for it’s girth did ably impress “Needed another?” some might have asked Not aware of the common disease “GAS” takes no prisoners, the man knew well For he’d long ago buckled his knees to the maladies endless unsettled nature he’d long since surrendered resolve and yet on occasion you’d still hear him mumble “I’m good.

DetroitBlues Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Nice job Kip. Kuz, I was only explaining not complaining. new learning curve, I’m doing my best to dial in the amp and guitar controls to find some pleasing tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yooper Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 P-90s need to be played on their terms. They're going to be warmer and fuller sounding, especially in the neck. If you linger on the bass strings, it can sound "muddy" to some, especially with a load of OD or distortion. Play the upper frets or go for some clean jazzy, smokey blues style on the neck. I embrace the "mud", in a clean way. Or better yet, don't worry about the neck. The bridge pickup is where the action is. Use the volume knob. LP Jrs. have all they need at the bridge. So does yours.
