It took long time to get this model.

When this guitar was produced, popular guitarists usually played humbuckered Les Paul or Stratocaster.  The first man who let me know the sound of P-90 was Hisato Takenaka(Char), a famous and the most popular guitarist in Japan.  He sang “Tougyushi(bullfighter)” with 1968 Gibson Gold Top on television.  Then I expected what kind of sound P-90 would create. I felt P-90’s sound was very similar to his Fender Mustang, or more precisely he made same sound consciously.

I guess the people who bought P-90 gold top Les Paul then were influenced by Char.

The weak point of single coil pickup is noise and hum, especially P-90 seems to be weaker than Fender’s single coil.
