The Eastwood Hi-Fliers of the 20s. Best affordable P90 guitar in todays world.
I needed a guitar to help me with finding a sweet spot between a humbucker and a Strat and how most professionals have the P90 as a hidden easter egg of pickups. It's worth a lot for the money. I bought this at a outlet on Gear4music site in February. For about give or take 140 $. It's a pickup system i might need incase a sound or a vibe does not fit inn with the muscial arrangement. This guitar has a very nice Telecaster body, its hollow body gives it a more light edge. It has a volume knob and two tone knobs for each pickup with you can completely die down if you wish. The neck pickup is absolutely smashing. Its tasty and very punchy with a lot of warth, the middle toggle switch is a more EVH or SRV sound. Has a little more coherent sound but really good. And the brigde is fine, its a C++ but not a B-. Just really tight and boring, and kinda naked. Not my thing but you can play and people wont tell the difference. Its all about the fingers. The fretwork is accurate and good but the necks might have problem with the middle strings and it can buzz or just not play even when intonation is done. 120$ bill for service at my local guitar store. The tune pegs might be pointy and sharp. But the design looks standardalone, individualistic and cool. A mix of New and old money style guitars. With a pointy metal headish headstock. The colours go really nice. The black one is way more metalhead vibe. The white looks like you are playing a a guitar of its own. This is really affordable bugdet guitar that has swag and style in mind. You can tune the pickups easy and the playing is so good. No stuck and sticky neck, and if you just sand the headstock it's just a really good guitar done by Subzero. Witch is surprising that is is the new catalog guitars, people have no idea how good things are now by options. Works well on effects and distortion and has a warm neck sound and a shivering punchy cheap brigde sound. Not bad at all. Cleans are just fantastic. These are no longer made by Subzero but G4M with made the design somehow even uglier. But atleast you can get the same piece of wood. overall just a bloody well great guitar and "alot for the money" as my guitar tech said. This ls one of the few guitars that mades me deliberately want to use the middle switch of my guitar. Very few do that.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Neck. 9 vol 5. Brigde 7. Neck toggle.
