If anyone has experience with both, please let me know what you think. However, given that words such as 'brighter' are relative, I thought I'd ask the forum. Yes, I know it's unlikely, given the Gibson is a 2015, that I've heard it at all, but I have heard the old P90's.) I don't want a brighter sound, I want the old, gnarly F'off sound of the original P90.(I have not heard, either guitar live & if I've heard either recorded I wouldn't know unless someone brought it to my attention. Gibson's description of their 'new' P90 as having a 'brighter sound' almost decided the issue for me.
I'm torn between the Gibson LP Special Double Cutaway and the Epiphone 1956 LP Standard Pro.
