LOL...if Mark still came around!
Who is that guy anyway...
I did find one for way less on eBay and gave Neil the link.
I have never played any of them...the GFS pickups for the money
are pretty good though...so don't see how you could go wrong for the
price...But I agree...you get that one, and you will be soon gassing for the
real Mccoy, er Fender!

Yeah, we'll see. I might just save the money and get my wife something nice for our anniversary. She wouldn't see that coming. :)

That's exactly what got me thinking about this in the first place. They can't all be crappy, right? ;)

It may deliver for its price, but I wouldn't expect to fair to well if you don't like it and decide to sell it.

Also, I wouldn't put a warmoth neck on it. If I was going to go that route, I'd look for a jazzmaster parts on ebay.

Those are good points, the resale value wouldn't be much. I'm guessing I'll take care of more practical needs (like getting another Boss RC-2 looper pedal :P ) before I worry about one of these. I still love the P90 look though. :)

Well, I was thinking I'd be happy with the electronics, or at least give them a shot first.

I'd like to try our Stewart McDonald's Golden Age P90s. $48 a piece can't be too bad. We'll see. :)

Way cool Luke, it's hopefully going to be fin, but even if it's low budget, at least it'll be meaningful. :)

I have one of the Ash Caramel Telemasters. The guitar quality is very good. You will find yourself upgrading components but they're decent sounding guitars for the money.
