p90s.... heavier music styles?

[danrawkz]

are there any p90 models that can do heavier music styles? as in, hardcore, punk, metal etc?

i've got my eyes on a epiphone '56 LP goldtop (I like the guitar itself), but they come with p90's you see..

pick harder

seriously though,i think it's a good idea to use a guitar not normally associated with a particular style...just look at the flying v-designed for c&w

Seymour Duncan custom p90 \m/

well that's actually part of the attraction to me, I like using odd guitars for metal ;P

Aye, that'll do metal allright

[danrawkz]

hmm the custom does look fairly nice.

I guess i'll have to check my current cash situation first though

Amen to that. I play indie pop on an Explorer, always turns heads.

The SD Hot and Custom P90s are ballsy as, but being true single coils, they can be a bit noisy with uber gain.
Dimarzio do a bunch of P90 sized humbuckers like the DLX, P90 Super Distorion and Tone Zone P90. They're much more suitable for metal.

PM me if you want more details.
