most important , tone is in the fingers, if you arent practiced it won't matter what gear you have
next I would say pick-ups. the p 90 is limited and is for a certain style I would go for more of a humbucker with coil tapping , these I think are the best all around http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/elec...t/sh4_jb_model/ and I have found that as Long as it has an upgraded pick up ,no matter which brand, I can usually dial in tone I am happy with as long as the amp in decent.Which brings us to the amp, something like this is a good start http://www.zzounds.com/item--PEVVKING112 guitar I would say this http://www.zzounds.com/item--IBAGRGA42TQA, with or without tremolo , and then put your upgrade pick ups in it, as with all guitars , trying them out for feeling is important there is about 1200 , a tube screamer in front of the amp to get it to the next level and you should be able to pull just about everything off with these This post has been edited by jstcrsn: Feb 25 2013, 07:03 PM |

Good reply cursin!! Also, SOUTHERNGENT: As you might imagine, there are some killer resources here @ GMC that cover these types of question as they come up quite frequently. Here is a link to our Guitar WIKI which is a killer resource with answers to a staggering amount of questions.
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Sections on gear, technique etc. Also, the simple search function at the top of every page is another killer resource as the forums are packed with information and you'll find nearly the exact same questions asked by previous GMCers. Along with questions you are likely to ask in the near future. The path ahead is thankfully well paved. JSTCRSN has given a really response hear covering the answer but there is always more info just waiting to be discovered. Dig in to the forums and wiki and you'll be immersed in answers to questions just forming in your mind.

I love P-90s. They are definitely their own animal. Single coil yes but they don't sound like strat pkups and they are generally higher output. You can get any thing from T-Bone Walker jump blues to Pete Townshend/Who tones with them. They can be pretty noisy in clubs with 'dirty' power (blender, cappuccino machine, neon sign, one outlet for the entire band, etc.).
The electrics on this track are a Strat with three (gibson) P-90s in it. ... http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songI...;songID=8434854 Another one with the 3-90 strat ... http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songI...;songID=8486330 If I had $2000 to spend on gear I'd start looking for an early 1970s Martin D-28. Depending on the player maybe $2000 worth of private lessons would be the best thing for their 'sound'. The most important thing in a guitar for me is the feel of it's neck/fingerboard and it's resonance un-plugged. In an amp - a big, bold clean tone. If I love it and I can afford it(?) - I buy it. *Caveat - I have a serious problem with gear -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
