cosmikdebriis Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Well my 150P has arrived safe and well so thanks to W19SIX. ;D I wouldn't have bothered with a new post but this is a strange one... Firstly the P I believe donates Poplar so I was expecting it to be lightweight... 8) I wasn't however expecting a "rim" thickness of (not sure exactly) but 1 3/4" or perhaps 1 1/2". I know they made a 150 Special at 1 3/4" so perhaps it's that. Anyway, long and short of it is... (So to speak)... It weighs in at just less than 7 1/2 Lbs. Anybody else ever owned one of these??? It's got Schaller pups but they're not wired up yet so I can't give a tone report. Looks like there's enough wires for a coil tap so that's kinda likely to happen Pics will have to follow soon...

JohnCovach Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Yep, I've got one. I think the body is thinner because there is no cap on the top, so you basically get the depth of a regular 150 but without the added depth created by the maple cap--at least that's the way my 150P looks compared to my 150CM and 157. The lighter and thinner body is a little weird at first; it kinda doesn't feel like a LP-type design. The biggest surprise is how resonant the poplar is, though. Mine has hi-output Dimarzios in it, and that's not my type of pickup so I'll likely change them out. But the 150P is a real joy to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Seacup Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Does that make it about the thickness of the 137/140 series then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmikdebriis Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 Does that make it about the thickness of the 137/140 series then? I need to dig my 140 out to compare but I'd say lightly thicker from memory. "I need to dig my 140 out" Ok I admit it... I too have to hide my guitars from the missus :-[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
