Congrats Tube, it's gorgeous! P90's should make that baby pretty versatile. Post samples when you can !

It looks ready for warfare, does it have sidewinders?
Seriously nice looking guitar, nice choice.

You are giving me GAS Mr. Tubes. I have wanted a Tele style guitar with P90s for a long time. Very nice guitar! Enjoy!

Its got lovely cleans and a very full thunky sound when you palm mute. I must get some sound bytes up.
The tuners are nice and tight too.

Listening now - sounds great! I've got Lollar Specials in one of my 60's reissues and it gets that P90 sound plus Tele twang and clarity. Lovin' it.
