Les Paul p90 with stop tailpiece?

[mrsuspend]

I'm starting to get GAS for a Les Paul with P90s and a wraparound stop tailpiece but I'm not very good at Gibsons models. What if any exist and are there any MIJ versions around?

Thanks!

Sonix !

 

[mrsuspend]

Do you mean Gibson Sonex?
The ones I can find on the 'net have humbuckers and an abr bridge...?

No he means Sonix made by the same people that make Bacchus, expensive & hard to find!

Tokai do one, I think they may have been a special order, drop Togps a PM and see if he has any left.

 

[mrsuspend]

Oh I see! :lol:
They must be rare indeed, I Googled for Sonix but didn't find anything.

Thanks Marcus, great looking guitars as always!
Is there such a thing as a Goldtop without... the gold...?
British Racing Green would be perfect thanks

togps had some gorgeous custom order VF finished Love Rocks with P90's. Don't think they had wrap tailpieces but man, they were fabulous looking.

 

[mrsuspend]

So it looks like a special order huh?
Well... better start saving up then :-? :-?

You do realise that's almost sacrilege?

I was waiting for that one! :lol:
I have nothing against Goldtops, I'm just not a very goldy person.
And I am one for the odd stuff- lead me into a food market and I will always go for the strange imports with unreadable cooking instructions 8)
I like wrap tails more than tuneomatics, p90s more that hbs, and a full size les paul body more than the slab Special. So what can you do?
Actually a double cut Les Paul wouldn't be bad either- like a luxury Les Paul special. I think they came with wrap tails at least some years.

Try Jeff Beck Les Paul, Gibson just put it out as signature model. I hope Tokai or Edwards will follow along. There is a great video of Jeff Beck explainig his guitar on a 70ies TV show.
I have a Gordon Smith G-60 with wraparound tailpiece, no intonation issues whatsoever. Played it since '94.

Here's a Bacchus Jeff Beck (apparently), but it is burst with humbuckers:

It is only 12 serial # digits apart from my highly prized & infinitely awesome BLS-59 HB but two things have kept me from buying it, and it's not the price.

1. It has a 2 pc. body back
2. I cannot see how it could be any better a guitar than my BLS-59, even though I?m sure the build quality is AGAIG ????

Well, the seller says it is two piece, but have you had a look at the high res photos in full size? I'm damned if I can see where it is two piece! Obviously I can't be sure, but... I dunno, two piece what.

I have had my eye on this one for months & the first time I saw it I checked all the pics :wink:

You could look at pics 0045, 0051, 0052 but what do you see?
nothing really, IMO .............

Check photo 0005 :wink: & that?s where I see a difference in the body back; it's very subtle but it's there ................

Yeah, I must have gone straight to the close ups of the back and not looked at that cavity shot. :-?
But yeah, I would say that the seller tells the truth - 2 piece.
