I have the same model. (classic, right?) Have a vid of me in my channel using it with a Fender Deluxe Reverb, also demonstrating finger stuff...just dickin around, really. anyway, the classic 490 and 498 pickups with the solid bar in the body give it the capability of sounding like a Les Paul. P-90's do what they are meant to do.
Hey Joey..Sorry but I think you have the wrong guy. I didn't start playing guitar till after high school. Although I did play the trumpet all through high school, didn't use a pick for the trumpet either..Thanks for the nice comment.
Great playing 67and68!!! There's just something about playing with your fingers that a pick can't emulate...Nice choice on the ES-137...That's one beautiful semi-hollow!!!
Thanks magnido45... Sadly I never learned to use a pick while playing so just making the best with what I can do...Thanks for the nice comment, I'm really enjoying this 137.
Who needs a pick when you're able to play with fingers like that!!! Infact, I got inspired and started playing with my fingers last night...Ouch! man, it sure ain't easy. Anywho, please post more finger plucking playing on the 137!
Man that is sick. Your fingers are your chops and they are wicked. That's about all I can say except what kind of watch is that? I would like to see more songs from you, and maybe you should get a bass player to join.
Hands getting a little pain in older age...hows the action/playability on the 137?? Opinions please!
