Is that the Classic Vibe?

I picked one of those up for $200 last year and I have to say that the thing is absolutely amazing.

this is about the ONLY time I like that kind of burst.
to me, it works on a Tele
but on nothing else, though

it's a weird thing.

I just got one exactly like this one. Stock catalog photo:



The P-90 seems to overpower the bridge pickup. I haven't done a full set up on it yet. Ken (Rose Pickups) is making me a set of pickups to drop in it with a 4 way switch, new pots and cap. Also, adding a bigsby type trem and running the strings through the top load string holes after I widen them. I may replace the nut with a TUSQ, but we'll see how it goes with some filing on the stock nut. I will probably reverse the control plate too.

I bought a tbx circuit I will run for the neck only and switch the tone to bridge only. Tbx will go on the lower horn. The p90 on the neck had to be adjusted as it was I lowered it and it was better, I may buy a Heussel bridge pup.

I like the nut though after I sanded it down.

I wasn't sure how much adjustment the neck pickup had to be lowered. I figured that was part of the problem. :thu:

This thing came with the most horrible set-up I've ever seen. I'm so glad I know how to work on guitars. I had to push the P90 down with my fingers and then adjust the screw to bring it down. It was so stiff that the screw was almost stripping.

Performed this mod:

http://www.metalguitarist.org/forum...73-tight-control-simple-passive-bass-cut.html

for the Neck pup only and mounted it to the pickguard today. TBX wouldn't fit since I drilled off center of the hole that I started in the PG.

Worked really well. Except that I got a linear pot instead of Audio taper. So I have to be a bit sensitive with it.
 
I Think that it is great that people have picked up on how nice those classic vibes are... They really are amazing
 
Before she retired my wife worked in optometry and could get free eye glasses. At one point in time I had about 30 pair. Guess how many I wore. That's right. One. I'm trying not to do that with my guitars but if I have to pick an all time favorite it has to be this one.

These two are tied for a very close second place.

Gretsch T-Rose



Yamaha SA 2200

 
I like that Ibanez & Yamaha :) ^^


Right now, the guitar I grab the most is my new Reverend Sensei HB





Excellent playability, and since I mainly play unplugged while watching TV, the korina is very resonant.

I still need to post a pic of my latest, which is very cool too. The new one (a semi-hollow) gets great strat tones. My camera battery needs recharging atm though...
