Post by Norbie »

Want to get some vintage correct P90s, soapbar cream. Thinking Wolfetone, Lollar, SD Antiquities. Any advice?

Any of those should do the trick. Lollars are my faves for vintage tone.

Lollars seem particularly good in my experience

Gibson are my favourite, they are after all, the original.

Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

The Rose Eden P90's in the Reverend were awesome too if you want something a little less knarly.

If you want everything correct then only Throbak offer the real deal...but buying old becomes an option at their prices.

If sound only is the goal, yeah, Gibson are v good.

Another option is the Harmonic design Z90. I’ve had them in my LP for some time now.
