Mmm, boobies....
No love for Bigsby's 'round these parts? That's one of the reasons I went for it. I have a strat and a floyd and wanted to give a Bigsby a whirl. I quite like it. Stays in tune really well. It doesn't have the range of my strat or floyd, but that's preferable for a tenor which has a 10 guage tuned up to A as the high string. Too much range and strings will be busting all the time.
As for the color, the SDOD was the Royale red - which is kinda sparkly. This is what they call "wild red" and is quite nice, showing the wood grain beneath. My fave color of the series is the Royale White, which is also sparkly, but since I'm going to be shortening and narrowing the neck to 21" and 4 strings, this color should be easier to match. That's the theory, anyway. Besides, this was the only one in my area and it appears these are being sold off, so they won't be around much longer.
This is the first guitar I've been able to pull off the rack in a store, drop the tune-o-matic for low action, and not have to deal with doing a fret dress due to a poor fret job. I'm actually quite impressed with how nicely it came from the factory - especially hearing all the horror stories over the years.
The real kicker is - now that I found a guitar with a really nice neck, great fret work and superb playability, I'm going to be taking a chain-saw to it and pretty much replacing that part of it anyway LOL.
These P90's kick all sorts of butt! Only complaint is they are not RWRP, but that's an hour or so on the bench to fix.
