SORTED: Something with P90's

Mototech

I'm looking for something Les Paul like with P90's. I am after the Holy Grail early to mid fifties tone, without having to spend what would buy me a good sized house, as I've just spent all the money I don't have on a new Gibson R8. 
Realistically have £1000 to spend, but less than that would work just fine.

Hadn't considered a PRS, beautiful, though it is a bit over my budget.

There's a Yamaha 1802 in the classifieds at the moment. Worth every penny. I have no affiliation with the seller and if I was a big enough fan of p90's, it would be mine.

Rich tone were blowing out Gibson Les Paul Classic P90's in Ebony for £999 they had at least two left when i was in earlier today. Nice guitar inc a case, i was eying up a Goldtop, the same guitar which is still another £500 extra.....

Thanks, I saw that, but a little over my budget.

Looks like they are gone, only ebony listed now £1599.

I have a pretty rare and near mint House of the Blues Blueshawk which I would let go for a £1,000 if you were interested. It's on my Reverb site - https://reverb.com/uk/item/14362357-rare-gibson-house-of-the-blues-limited-edition-blues-hawk-1998-black
