Yeah, I think I played the single P-90 version, and I remember having the same impressions. Namely that I didnt actually need to modify my playing style to make it sound good, though I could and it still sounded good. The humbucker version could handle being pushed a little hotter, which for me made it seem a little more versitile.

Having played mostly acoustic for a number of years, usually when I pick up an electric theres a short period where everything sounds like a big noisy mess, as I figure out how to play whatever I've been working on a little differently... with both the 5th Ave's that just didnt happen.
