Yeah - if Leo had known that his first electric would, some 50 years later, be so many people's favorites for so many practical reasons (not to mention sentimental ones) he may have thrown up his hands in disgust: "Why bother trying to improve on THIS?! Nobody will appreciate it, anyway!" - and gone on to invent the wide-slice toaster or something - thankfully, he didn't, and we got so much more from him, including G&Ls . . . what a life of well-applied gifts.

Personally, I'm fascinated by guitar and amp combinations. Ferinstance, my 1959 Les Paul Junior (mahogany w/ p-90 pickups) through a '72 50-watt Marshall is to-die-for Gibson/Marshall tone. And how about Telecasters through a Vox AC-30? That's gotta be one of the most exquisite, "chimey" guitar tones ever. I just get hypnotized playing that combination. My fave guitar is the Junior, followed by a '73 Tele and a '68 Gretsch Tennessean |

I've a Tele with a P/W bender, really just for the bender - I prefer the sound of my Tokai Strat, and miss that front p/up of a Strat roundness. Teles can sound so brittle, even rolling off tone, but it was hard (impossible) to get an affordable bender equipped other guitar, and I was told - by a P/W approved luthier - it'd be real difficult/expensive to fit a bender to my Strat Life's hard, huh? |

Erik I would not sweat the black on black, If the tone and the action is there and sounds like the price is there I would go for it. You can allways install creme pickup covers later. I sure wish I had my LP "74"black custom back they dont make em like they used to  ------------------ |

Thanks Gary, i wasn't sure if p90/p100 pick-up covers could be seperated from the assembly. I did find those covers for sale online. I haven't been back to that store in a few weeks. Might go Saturday to see if that guitar is still there. You can delete any post on the forum by clicking the pencil above the post and while in edit mode clicking delete then submit.
