I said I would post some pics of my new Jr when I got around to it so here she is with the Duncan Antiquity installed.

I still can't put it down. Just great tone and so easy to play

Here one of my Father's Day presents.

It's a sweet customized wood sign that's now proudly displayed in my Guitar/Music room. My wife got it out of the Bud catalog that's why it is Bud specific. I don't care if you bring your amp and budweiser, just an amp and beer is fine.

Can those Jr's hold up to like punk/metal stuff and high gain?

billie joe of Greenday plays one.

I get some great heavy/overdriven tones out of it but it does make some noise especially with the effects and my pickup booster pedal turned on. I'm playing in a bedroom though so I am closer to the amp than I would normally be in a regular gigging situation.

The guy in Green Day uses Jr's and Specials so it can definitely do punk type music, but, for Heavy Metal it may be just a little too noisy with all the overdrive. But I'm new to these so maybe someone with more P-90 experience will chime in?

The bridge in the SG Classic I had was noisy under high gain. Proper placement reduced the noise, but it was still there. I didn't think it was that big of a deal. If you want that sound, there is only one way to get it.

The antiquities are unpotted, right? I imagine that contributes to the noise.

Congrats! That is one sweet looking guitar! And I bet she sounds good too!

Always wanted to try one, but I have never had the chance.

I don't think they would would handle metal too well because of the P90s relatively loose low end.

If I were to get a Jr. then I would put on a Custom Soapbar. they are like the highest output and stuff so I think that that would help the noise

Beautiful new ax. Out of curiosity what did you think of the stock pup compared to the duncan.

P90s sound great with high gain. What I love with p90s is that you get better clarity than a humbucker. With high gain, all the notes really ring out and I bet it shines with punk/metal stuff (which is actually what I'm messing around with at the moment).

Welcome badco33 to the Gibson p90 family
