I bought one last week for a friend. After the purchase I didn't receive any confirmation email, tracking code or anything. I contacted them through their website and they aren't able to see my purchase even though the payment went through. I am currently trying to find out what happened with my order. I really like their products so I hope the situation will be clear soon.

Since you're measuring from the top of the string, I think you should subtract the string diameter from the reading to get an accurate measure of the distance from the fret, since string action is defined by the distance from the top of the fret to the underside of the string. These gauges are designed for string height at the nut, as there is more tension lower down the neck, making the strings less prone to flexing under the weight of the plunger.

Nice guitar, but wound 3rd strings are for suckers.

I use the Mojotone quiet coil P90s they sound great. They aren't stacked, they are 2 coils side by side. Same size as the original. I have two guitars one with the stock P90's and the one with the Mojotone. The hum is the only difference I can hear. The Mojotone is very quiet.

Wow that hum seems crazy bad. You probably need a power conditioner for your amp or something or have some electrical interference leaking in somewhere cuz that hum seems too extreme. I've got 3 p90 guitars and 2 single coils and none of them hum like I'm hearing yours

I have loved P90s since the first time I heard Leslie West back in the late 60s. Owned several, LP Jrs, a non-reverse Firebird with three of them ... love the tone, hate the noise. Right around Y2K, I acquired a Squier Tele Custom Deluxe with 2 Duncan-design P90s that sounded as good as any I've played. Only problem was, recording now as I do in a room full of electronics, it was kind of limiting to always have to be in the center position. I decided to try a set of alnico V Mini Humbuckers. I bought cheap ones (GFS), so I was able to go through several sets until I found one I liked. (I've since found use for all of them). The ones I settled on are right around 11.8-11.9k, and they sound pretty close to a P-90, albeit with a bit less edge and a tighter focus, but all in all, I like them a lot. I definitely reach for that sound a lot more than full-sized HBs. (An aside, I was considering that very Revstar, with the explicit intention of installing minis, but hated that tailpiece so much that I decided against it. 😀 Different strokes and all ).

You can buy a Boss clip on tuner for 15 bucks.

Brother stop uploading this trash.

I think you should sell some stuff and get the fralins if it’s gonna be your main guitar for a year I’m a p90 lover and hate hum most channels seem to edit it out so I feel your pain

OK, I had a few problems I discovered when investigating today. First thing was, I had broken the ground wire on the base plate of the pick up while I was installing it. The second problem was, I had installed the bottom coil upside down, thereby doing away with the hum canceling effect. Finally, the middle position still didn’t sound right so I reversed the wires on the bridge pick up and everything sounds much better in each position now. I may try to post a short showing the comparison.

Get a ISP Decimator II. "100 bucks" it's not a line gate and I'm not sure how it works but it does do the job without effecting the treble. I've used it in noisy clubs with a strat type guitar. it fixed the same issues your having. Buy a good cable. Klotz la grange for example. Check your amp and Tubes. Keep in mind Fender inc. doesn't make good quality amplifiers anymore. See if the Yamaha has any shielding. Check the ground wire that goes to the bridge.

One thing that seems to be missed here is the issue of pickup height. The alnico pickups are much lower in the guard than the ceramics were. Could be why it appears the ceramics has more output. When making comparisons its best to keep all other variables the same.

FYI, it looks like as of today, 1/19/24, the website is back up and working. I’m curious if anyone has had any success ordering from this website.

Excellent choice

I made my own from a tyre gauge. Cost under two dollars.

There is an objective reason why people tend to relate to vintage guitars in a much more subjective way. There was much more of a human factor present in their manufacturing and, as a result, they were much more inconsistent. It might sound silly to say that one '59 Les Paul has a different "mojo" than another '59 Les Paul, for example, but, in a sense, it does, i.e. different specific individual guitars had qualities that resonated with people differently for reasons they may or may not have been able to objectively define.

Coke tastes better than Shasta Cola, until you put them into a glass and can't tell which is which.

I'ma stop you right there. I like a SHAPE, or a TYPE of guitar, based on personal preferences. I like an LP, or an archtop, probably mostly from childhood and tv cowboys and rock stars and such. I don't care for strats. Maybe because I saw so many strat shapes over the years that they just strike me as sorta ho-hum now. But a specific guitar? Because its inexpensive and does what I need it to do, I need a metal shredder, I need something good for blues, I need something twangy for rockabilly, whatever the case may be. I may gravitate a bit more to the body styles I like, but the part that really matters is the feel and sound.

Check out Matteo Mancuso - he plays a Yamaha.

Years ago I had a 1956 Gibson ES 125, which this guitar is clearly based on. It played like a dream. Then for a while I switched from Jazz to Rockabilly, selling the ES 125 to get a 1961 Gretsch Double Anniversary (which I still have). But I always missed that ES 125 and regretted selling it. Having gotten into Jazz again recently, I decided to get one of these, as the average price of 3500 pounds for an ES 125 is now beyond my price range. Best decision I made. This guitar is like the return of an old friend. It does exactly what that old 125 did back then, and looks as cool. My 'test' piece for this guitar in the shop was the Barney Kessel intro to 'Cry Me A River'. The sound and tone was all there! I no longer mourn the sale of my old ES 125, and cannot recommend this guitar enough.

I never liked the looks of the Telecaster. But I have a 50s American made Telecaster I didn't pick the guitar it picked me. I can play bluegrass to Rocknroll with it. It's so good

And toothpicks are usually a good color match.

Remove the strings first. Just my opinion.

Can you please tell the direction of the magnetic field of the side ceramic magnets? Is it horizontal like in P-90 pickups?

Puppy was checking in, "you talking to me?" This is highly informative and easy to digest.

There is may too many what I call religious beliefs when it comes to guitars and especially vintage guitars 😮

Nice honest demo thanks, sounds great. Cheers Andrew... England

Loved that little chord progression at the end ,, I have exactly the same guitar, excellent in every way

Great video sir. I have been interested in the exact guitar you played here and I’m gonna go for it. Much appreciate your detail to this video as well 👍

Thank you for the review from Baltimore, Maryland. I appreciate you and your time my friend

I'd like to go somewhere and try one out but it's getting harder to find stores that carry stock...?

Yeah man that’s a pretty one. Sounds great

Hey Dan. Try 9.5 - 44 strings. D'Addario and Ernie Ball both make them.

I like it. Beautiful guitar sounds good. I had a Yamaha you can't get a better quality guitar. Mine was so easy to play. I sold it to good friend that has parkinsons. It's easy for him to play

I just bought a Player II, Black with maple, bought a “DG” inspired 920D Customs loaded pickguard, t h wit custom David Gilmour “inspired” pickups as well as all the other electronics. Did that and a Tusq Nut. All together I’ll have about a grand in my tribute black strat . Been wanting to do one for years, fell in love with the Player II neck and decided it would be a great platform to start with. I know it’s been done A LOT, don’t care, I’ve always lusted after a black strat. Can’t pull off a custom shop one, so hopefully it’ll be at least close to the specs. And again that neck is just sublime on the new Player II’s, those rolled edges, satin back of the neck, should be standard on guitars. But that’s just me. 😂

I recently have gotten into Firefly guitars and had heard about the Cort guitars as well. Prior to the Firefly I was really into Squire guitars and found them really affordable and a very good value. But the Firefly has a slightly wider neck than the Squires which I like. The string spacing is identical, but the wider neck allows me to play more comfortably. I played classical guitar for years so that kind of makes sense. I sometimes have an issue with the E string going off the neck with the Squires buy not with the Firefly. Does the Cort have an identical neck width as the Fender models? Thanks, just subscribed.

Magnetism is magnetism. Matters not what's it made from

Do they feedback like normal hollows

Built it years ago... Great amp, great kit. I use a G12H30 with it so I did some little mods. You'll find some good info on RoRobinette website.

It's awesome to live in a time where we can share knowledge with each other. Thank you for taking the time to share some of yours with all of us.

I just started trying to learn Interstate love song and plush is on the list! Fun in the sun, Enjoy!

I started playing when I was 12 I'm 67 years old now. It gets more fun as you go. That guitar sounds good. Keep on rocking brother man

I’m 58 and my strongest focus is to ensure the ‘correctness struggles’ do not detract from my enjoyment of my guitar journey. I will not be called up by a band to tour, I will not be flicking my pick into a huge crowd, I just want me time which is enjoyable. Enjoy brother, let the others focus on ‘better and best’. ❤️

Just got back from Japan, bought a headless Ibanez and after years of travelling with guitars found out the headless vibe really works. Your vid really spoke to me mate so wishing you a huge relaxing holiday. Peace and love from Sydney Australia 🙏🏻

Billy Squier ! For someone not skilled in filing nuts, is it better to just replace with a graphtech nut?

Keep at it, you're making progress!

I always install the jacks on the outside of the chassis to wire them ( before feceplate is installed) Same with some of the potentiometer wiring. You can wire some of the tube socket stuff before install as well. Also , double and triple check all the jumper.leads on the bottom of the eyelet board. It's a nightmare to tear it all out afterwards. Fender used to solder the eyelet board from the underside and it would produce nice domed solder joints on the topside. Use a dab of flux and clean the eyelets with 99% isopropyl first!! Nice job by the way! You'll find a load of great info on mods and improvements on rob robinettes web site !

I have a Joyo British and a Joyo American on my board only one will stay. There cheap and sound good. Try turning your amp up and your guitar volume down it may give you a good drive sound. Keep on rocking brother man

Seasons Greetings from England Dan.... Liked that "wild" sound! The Yamaha looks and sounds GREAT
