First was a LP which sounded really cool but didn't feel right. The new owner loves it.
This is a keeper;
Martyn Booth Special. BKP MB P90's.
Everything about it works for me save the colour. It's a natural finish. I bought it 2nd hand so naturally could not chose. If I get it refinished it would be a red or blond
USA Deluxe Strat - Martyn Booth Special - Epi LP Custom
FX Plex - Cornell Romany
Edit: Just did my homework and discovered it's one you built. Seriously impressive
Wiz points for anyone that correctly identifies those two
Gordon Smith, ended up replacing the stocks with Lollars. WezV '52, Gibson CS 56, Collings 290, and now a Gibson SG Classic from 2009.
The Gibson P90’s sound great, and the guitar is extremely comfortable to play with the moderately chunky neck and satin finish. Very lightweight and resonant.
If anything, the Yamaha's SD pickups have the edge, but the Gibson wins in terms of weight and form.
Oddly, I've never been into gold stuff, but despite that, I love the way these two look...
My number one P90 guitar to play. (62 SG Special.)
And one I regret selling

coil shape and wind are simialr... most of the difference is in the magnets. They have a alnico magnet for each pole piece inside the coil, rather than 2 magnets underneath the coil and steel polepieces like a normal P-90. The version on the archtop is adjustable, so each magnets can be raised or lowered. Adjustable versions need a deeper pickup route
Gibson's staple pickup was basically a rip-off of the dynasonic that Les was sticking in his les paul's
They are both fatter and brighter than a normal P-90

I thought both have single coil and the difference is that P90 have a magnet at the bottom. Single coils have magnets in the poles itself.
