What Does Ivey Think? 

If you're looking for an incredibly versatile guitar that has its roots in the offset world, this might just be the guitar for you. Boasting a set of Lollar P-90 pickups, Gotoh 510 vintage style trem and maple fretboard, you'd be hard pressed to find a situation this guitar couldn't take on.

We really love the standard wind Lollar P-90 in the bridge position. It has great clarity with a present but not overpowering midrange, and a punchy low end that sits well in just about every guitar we've spec'd with it. The bridge sounds of this guitar are snappy, tight and full. With some overdrive there's a nice snarl that's brought out and lead work has plenty of body behind it.

Moving to the neck position, the clarity of this pickup really shines in conjunction with the Strat-style tremolo. Lollar does a great job of making a pickup clear but not sterile; there's plenty of mojo and warmth on all notes while retaining nice note-to-note definition. Adding in the bridge pickup will scoop out some mids and give you a really nice clean LA pop sound.

How Does It Play?

The neck profile is a moderate “early 60’s” C that leaves enough on the shoulder to support the hand and prevent fatigue, while affording a thin enough profile for blazing fretwork. Generous body contours and a heel contour make this guitar especially easy to navigate. The string action measures just over 4/64” on the low E string at the 12^th fret and under 4/64 on the high E.
