I'll fetch my cardigan.

Is it a Gibson cardigan ?

Yeah I watched it on Youtube. There were some interesting pre-auction video's with Mark too. I learn't that on Money For Nothing he used a re-issue LP and he got his '59 later.

That would be good try out, pretty sure the seller is a member here Dano_NZ ?

It's a dog ear P90...

One thing I am pretty convinced on is pot taper. I recon the old CentraLab C2/10% taper is pretty important. At half way a 500k C2 will measure about 50k. They give you a lot of clean below 6ish. Lot of modern pots are 30%+/- taper - a lot of the "vintage correct" pots are 15-30% too - th...

Edit: I just remembered it has an aftermarket Tyson pickup, so maybe that is the issue. I was thinking of standard Gibson P90's which are very good.

Pots and wiring is reversible if you do it carefully, a re-fret is just maintenance, I would do it. I wouldn't route it out for a Flyod though.

P90's into a medium gain Marshall are fantastic. They can straddle the Jazz to Rock food groups.

They look promising so far.

Its not just guitar on YT that's getting boring, I watch a lot of motorcycle channels too and they are all becoming predictable, same old reviews and dumb-ass topics just to get clicks.

There are still a few genuinely skilled people out there actually sharing useful info and knowledge mind.

He makes some reasonable observations but he also bullshits quite a bit for the attention. PCB mounted pre-amp sockets are ok if they are high quality and mounted on a decently thick fibreglass board. That build looks fairly typical of Mesa and will probably hold up pretty well. Lot of $$$ though fo...
