A little pun, ha.
Whenever I get worried about how things are going on in the world I hunker down and buy guitars.
These two showed up recently, a black Les Paul Classic w/ P90s and a gold top Les Paul Standard w/ P90s.
To say I am really impressed with these is an understatement.
John Fogarty of CCR fame was right, a gold top w/ P90s is THE sound.

Decided to try one of the new Firefly FF338 guitars as I wanted a ES335 style electric.
Happy with it out of the box. Just need to change strings to 9-40 gauge and do a setup.
Well I guess it wanted a nap.

Hard to tell from the photo, but that's the original 'flat-top' style, is it not?

This is the latest addition to the pack....

I like mine real pointy, which drives my lust for Florentine cutaways...

An Epiphone PR-5 (five... I have found over the years if I type PR-5, it gets read as "PRS", and it isn't)
(https://mullarea.com/guitars/Sorrento_04.jpg)
An Epiphone Sorrento 1962 reissue (they made 1,962 of 'em, imagine that)
(https://mullarea.com/guitars/155M_03_small.jpg)
A pre-corporate buyout Heritage H-155M (picture taken by Harry of Harry's guitars, because even though it was my custom order, he still wanted to put photos of it on his website. Harry is a smart man) made in Kalamazoo, by the guys who refused to move to Memphis when Gibson closed the Kalamazoo facility down. Sadly (and stupidly) when Heritage restructured (read - was bought out by a certain conglomerate and a worthless "music" magazine), most of the old hands were laid off as "an economy measure".

A Taylor 2015 limited edition 514ce (also snagged at Harry's... you should go there if you live within 2-3 hours of Raleigh)

While it won't poke your eye out, John Backlund, the designer of the Marz 6 (the one on the right without the actual chickenhead knobs (which is a story for another day unless you have been a long time member of the Telecaster forum) does sometimes refer to it as his "futuristic lawn dart guitar", so I am includinging it.

I am not a guitar player, but if I was i would be using P90 pick ups

Sorry, I just saw the reply (three years later).
That black LP Classic has the maple cap, the photos below shows a slab body Les Paul Special in TV Yellow with an ebony fretboard.
That's an awfully nice little guitar, fake zebra skin rug belongs to the seller.
