Nice. Sounds similar to my setup, but I like mine better :P. I was thinkin about getting that fulltone ocd but I got better tones out of a Marshall Jackhammer and DOD 250 through a Fender Pro Reverb. Sounds good though man. I don't notice much of a difference from the p-90s to the humbuckers on the paul.
GET THE FRALINS!!! Lindy underwinds his P90's. That's what gets the killer tone. The harmonics are richer and brighter, and they sing. I go to his shop in Richmond, VA to get my pickups so I asked him why his p90's sound better than the Duncan's or Gibson's. GET THEM!!!
Hey man...those pickups sound great. Are they the stock winds? I'm considering fralin's or lollars for a guitar of mine and can't decide! Thanks for your help
i have a special with p-90s as well... i love it! its kinda like a midground between a les with humbuckers and a fender. for me its great because i play slide with it.
This model is discontinued, they make a double and a single cutaway (saw it at the gibson showcase in nashville) These have a faded finish, mine doesn't.
Wow great playing and great tone! I love it when you switch to the bridge PU w/ the OCD on.
I have the same guitar (natural finish, but with the mini-trapezoid inlays). However my guitar still has the stock p-100s. I really dig the sound of those Fralins.
It's great at what it does, sounds 100 times better than my hot rods reverb thats for sure. Electro Harmonix is releasing an XO version of it with some more options, go to their website and check it out.
Sounds good (though I'd roll back on the reverb).

I may make a new one soon anyway, i just got a new amp Vox Ac-30, sounds incredible.
zacharybroyles 3 years ago
Ok, i can't wait to hear that...
I will wait for your vid, and maybe buy a bridge Fralin after that...
It seems that the Fralins are raw, punk and dirty (that what i search in a P90) am I mistaken?
Have you played a lot of P90, or those are the only ones?

I should make a video of my John Mayer strat, it sounds incredible distorted. And yeah the P-90 is a single coil.

Nice, I've been looking for a sound sample because I'm considering replacing the p90s on my epi casino.

The fralin makes dog ears, it would really make your epi come alive man!
zacharybroyles 3 years ago
Yeah i'm thinking that too. Thanks for the quick reply.
deathcabforpaddy 3 years ago
pretty good. sounds similar to a strat tone.

Really a lot fatter in person, and a ton more output than a strat. This this really drives my amp.
zacharybroyles 4 years ago
That doeesn't sound like any Strat I own. Sounds like a P90 :)
