My only electric is a PRS Soapbar SE. Was going to get the Gibson faded DC P-90, but this guitar has a cooler vibe and the neck just felt "right" in my hand. Plus, I've always liked the wraparound bridge/tailpiece. The Gibson neck was too thin for my taste.

I totally agree with you. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to play several of the PRS offerings, including the one you mentioned and was totally blown away. In my mind, they are a lot of guitar for the money. Naturally your mileage may vary, but don't rule them out. Big Eric, I think you made a great choice and hope your SE continues to bring you much musical enjoyment!

So, I found a used Hamer GoldTop with P90s. They want a bit much for it. I am looking at some other Hamer stuff used. I may grab a Godin just to get the feel for the P-90 with my gear.

Hello,

I would strongly consider this Melancon P90 Pro, handcrafted by small-builder Gerard Melancon is Louisiana:

I have a Melancon P90 Artist that is an incredible instrument. Check out www.melanconguitars.com. Each time you refresh the main page, you get a great pic of a different guitar.

Another brand to check out is McInturff. http://www.mcinturffguitars.com/
Terry used to work for Hamer and makes some beautiful iunstruments as well.

Let me know if you have any questions about my P90-equipped Melancon.

Good luck,

Mike
