I have quite a few all day sessions on it now. Has such an addicting sound going into my vox with just a tad of gain. Im getting a cool Keith Richards type tone, bit of Lennon and Dave Davies sounds just from them wonderful pickups. Have you kept stock machine heads? I could dig a higher ratio

Right on, I remember you talking about it. Looks like it has a 3.5 input for stuff like backing tracks which is of interest, most BT audio in or out stuff has a latency and seeing ability to hardwire in and/or out is of much interest. Think I'll see if I can find one local to try out.

It is not scheduled to be delivered until tomorrow but that hasn't stopped me from running to the window every time I hear a truck drive by

I have gotten better with the arthritis, since my filleting I totally cut out any white sugar cane or corn syrup I get less inflamed so pain is almost 0, only small amounts of honey or real maple in the bread we bake. What was that amp u were using? Spark, flame, something..? lol

Yes! a bit higher than my tele or strat pu's. I have a couple tube amps & tube/SS modeling amp - I am excited to sit down & check out all the combos. I see too that everything is nickel instead of cheap chroming. Due to arthritis I usually run 8-38's so might have to change nut or rework.

I remember years back guys complained about the PU's but I think they were different, these are Alinco 5 & have that signature p90 sound/dynamics where that vol pot really works from chime to growl, at least what I've come know. Spec says CTS pots so I plan just to Intonate, plug in & go OOB player!

@roybent.bsky.social - I finally pulled the trigger - should be here in a day or 2 (I wanted this color), hoping it is same as ones I tried out. Had my heart set on the BB King Lucille model with the Varitone and buckers but the A5 P-90's just sing like nothing l have, pretty stoked here!
