Had the urge to hear a P-90 in action so got this one out to play. Sometimes we are too preoccupied with what works, we tend to forget what also works but not quite our cup of tea. The reason why I'm not too keen with P-90s is the humming factor. If you think standard single coils are terrible in this aspect, the P-90 will annoy you more. However, I've learnt to accept this quirk & employ noise suppressors into the signal mix to keep this in check somewhat.
Gave it a fresh set of D'Addario along the way. The LP Jr. used to be Gibson's lesser model. It's meant for those of us who are not too particular in terms of features. It's also meant for bit-part players, people who are not too guitar inclined but do to pick it up sometimes & were made affordable. The Jr. to me is a lesson in simplicity & will not be any lesser in terms of appeal if we understand what it offers. Personally, anything goes as long as it fulfils my intention.
