I've been jonesing for a P90-equipped guitar for some time now and have narrowed it down to either a hollow or solidbody guild with P90s.

I have a Rockabilly X160-- can anyone help with the difference in tone between the DeArmonds and the P90s, say in a Starfire III-90? Those look AMAZING.

Thanks in advance,

KK

The Dearmonds are going to give a more brighter tone than the p-90's which will have a lot more midrange. That is the nature of the pickups in the two. The Dearmonds remind me tone wise if you played a thinner metallic slide that brings out the highs and rings a bit where as the p-90's reminds me of glass that has not as a bright of a sound.

Thanks very much for the response. I'll keep my eye out for one of those Starfires...
