What We Think

There is a unique charm to these little odd-ball SG inspired Rock 'N Roll Relics.  With one fat P-90 firmly in the bridge position, this axe was designed to plug straight into a stack of tubes, turn up, and bring down the house with old school rock authority.  As simple as it gets, the singular P-90, volume, and tone knob offer the beauty of having nothing to hold your mind back from the music happening around you. Too loud? Too soft? There's a knob for that.  Tone too sharp or round? There's a knob for that.  And with one killer P-90 as your pickup what more could you possibly want to rock the night away?  But don't be fooled into thinking that this guitar is a one trick rock and roll pony. With its simplistic controls, it easily dials in a range of killer tones from rhythm to lead, clean and crunch.  Its small profile neck plays beautifully, and its simplistic charm will keep you smiling for hours on end.  If you prefer a hotter wound pickup the piece with serial number 1268-S is for you.  And on the mellower side the 1380-S will produce slightly less output for a different approach to tone.
