A few years back I purchased a gold-top, shortly after they were introduced. I have since put my original 68 Paul" away. This guitar plays and sounds great. Add a cry baby wah and I have that original sound the 60's and 70's. Joe B.

I have had one of these for a while and I love it. The distortion is very good, and the clean channel is very impressive. It looks cool, sounds nice, and isn't as expensive as a lot of other guitars and it even sounds better then a lot of them.

This is a really great guitar. It has great tone on the clean channel and also has lots of good deep distortion. I like a very crunchy low sounding distortion. The 56 gold top handles this very well. The pickups are what you would expect from a quality guitar.

"Picturesque distortion..."

Love this guitar.. The P-90s sound almost exactly like my Gibson P-90s. Maybe a little less junky character if anything, and a higher output level. Through an Art Power Plant (get one used, they don't make them anymore) this guitar sounds amazing on tape- and in the distortion channel it creates the most picturesque and huge rock sound ever. So detailed and dense, and just perfectly balanced. I've been experimenting with distortion and clean guitar sounds forever, had 2 Gibson Les Pauls and many Strats, found the P-90 years ago and will never go back to the small single coil or humbucker. This guitar with this pickup is probably the most incredible sounding guitar I've found. Great action, fast neck. HEEAAVVY but you knew that. I recommend it to anyone.
