I have an RS502T Revstar with P90,s and I recently bought a Tone King Gremlin Head to partner with my Dovetailed Pine 2 x 12 Cabinet with JBL G125-8 200w 102db speakers.
The sounds that are coming out of this gear are unworldly.
The Revstar is an underrated beast of a guitar. Total rock machine folks , absolutely glorious to play.
Everything Yamaha is great. My first guitar was an SGB500 that I bought in the 80s. Awesome guitar.
TRUE!!
I have a Revstar P90 and love it.
Is it underrated? Seems like everyone raves about it, it certainly received a lot of hype and exposure recently
Heavy as hell though
that SG Junior sounds exactly how I want my guitar to sound, so greattttttttttttttttttt
Love my P90 Revstar, Yamaha knocked it out of the park.
Yes. Do you have a standard or a pro?
@@DavidRFIT I have a standard 1st generation 502T with the tail piece. Awesome guitar
That '61 Casino is one of the most beautiful, best-sounding instruments you can look at and listen to on YT, always wonderfully played by Mr. Congilio! I warmly recommend going over to his "Casino" video because he demonstrates that you don't need to break the bank to get that magic… And the last solo on the SG is killer: perfect arc, perfect thematic cohesion and hooks, … I'm off to transcribe it! Thx Corey, another wonderful video!
The sound and performance on the intro of the Revstar demo is superb, Corey!
The second u turned down the volume on that Casino my ears where so happy. Love that clean tone!
I watched your video about revstar and get one! Absolutely love it and tnx to you sir for great words you choose to describe it.❤
Thank you for doing this video, I love me a p-90. Also your playing/style is great for this tonal range.
I bought my first P-90 a month ago and I love the sound.
I recently bought a Squire Esquire. Very impressed with the variety of sounds you can get from a single pickup. Could be Leo Fender got it right from the start. Everyone since reinventing the wheel and just adding bells and whistles! Thanks for posting
Sweet tones!!! Thanks!!!
Helping me off the fence!!! Great video [as usual] coupled with great playing and some great guitars makes for an awesome video. Thanks!
Thx Chris!
I have a Fralin hum cancelling P90 with a 5% overwind in my Junior and it sounds really good!
Saw Keith Urban a week or so ago and was so happy that his Gold Top with P90s was back. The tone was killer!
That P90 tone is the magic bullet and secret sauce all in one. Fantastic playing and demo.
Corey glad you got your Casino when you did, the prices have gone through the roof lately on everything vintage. I love the SG. I believe in one pickup theory too about the way the strings ring out. Great video. Thanks. 👍😎✌️
Always appreciate your info sharing!!!
Recently got my first P-90 guitars and TOTALLY digging them!
Thank You Corey! You're a blessing to us players!
Thx Greg!
I also have the Fralin Hum-Canceling P-90s in a Les Paul. Really great pickups!
P90s are fantastic pickups, buy I watch your videos mainly for listening to you, I really love your phrasing!!
That 61' Epiphone sounds amazing. I was hoping that was a modern casino and the pickups were some new production
love the comparison. I was a bit familiar with all of the two pup guitars but never heard them back to back before. interesting. but that SG Junior is incredible. thanks
Love the Zappa and MOI shirt!
Great video-been jonesing for a SG Jr-May have to do it!
Thx!
I LOVE my PRS 594 w/ p90s.
Of all the guitars I’ve ever owned, it’s a hall of fame one for me
Great bluesy playing and lovely tones...
Love the Mothers tee, and the P-90 info. Thanks-
Another great video from you. The epiphone in particular sounded so good!. I love the sound of a p90 in the neck. Somewhere between single coil and humbucker. You really showed the tones off well. Top marks for the mothers tshirt!
Hey thanks, Steve!
I got p90s in my sg and i lovem, when the pits are all on 10 it has a honk to the tone almost but when you back them off a bit it sounds great
Great job on this!! Love my SG Jr!!
Thx brother!!
One of my favorite players on the tube, great playing...thanks
Thx so much
That casino is incredible!
Wow man. Sound quality here is just stellar. You got any vids on how you mic and mix your recordings?
Cory is a great player and makes them all sound great. I'd like to get a Revstar because it is affordable and sounds great. Never had a guitar with p90s.
I'm about to like P90s more and more. That Revstar is cool. I've also noticed the Japanese brands Ibanez and Yamaha very often have SS frets now. Should be standard on good brands like PRS.
Casino is always cool
I really didn't understand the p90 thing until I got my 1998 R6 Les Paul...... It definitely has a special sauce for the bluesy and clean jazzy stuff. It actually sounds really cool with Metal riffage with gain as well.
Terrific playing! Great feel and time.
Thx!
Great video Corey! I love the P90s in my Epi LP Special!
Thx!
Great sounding guitars and in you hands cool and great :)) I Have a couple of P90 guitars an Epiphone 339 and a G&L Broadcaster and I definitely agree they clean up tremendously well and can give you an expressive dynamic feel and I feel that when turned up they give you a warm clear distortion tone without cluttering up the harmonic content. Thanks for the Truefire lessons I dig them allot.
Thx for watching, Michael. Glad you enjoyed!
I've had this cheap 70's Japanese Les Paul copy for years with a visually stunning look, but not much happening in the tone department; until I installed Seymour Duncan Phat Cats, which are their PAF-sized P90s. It's now my favorite guitar! P90s are so versatile, and they really rock!
What's the brand? I also had a Japanese version. It was a company that mainly makes violins but I can't remember the name.
@@haze_z I think it was a Silvertone judging by the faintly visible letter S under the paint. I was definitely chambered; very light. Classic Les Paul shape including the headstock.
Corey thank you for this fantastic video...
My pleasure!
I love the Revstar 🎸
Really excellent presentation!
Glad you liked it!
I was pleasantly surprised to hear I much preferred your chambered guitars to that PRS gold top. There’s a “piercing” element to those chambered guitars I like.
Your playing is incredible brother. P90 is my favorite sounding pickups.
I bought a Music Man Albert Lee (basically a strat) with 3 P-90s on clearance a few years back, not knowing if I'd bond with it. I've always liked humbuckers, and strats always sounded a little thin in my hands. Albert is now one of my favorites. The P-90s add some nice frequencies, but there's still that quacky thing happening in the 2 & 4 positions. Totally cool! Turns out I was just playing the wrong kinds of strats!
Those are great!
Well played
Great video nice comparisons
Glad you enjoyed it!
Best P90 demo on You-tube. The way you play is bringing out the best in that design. I found I play different with P90s (les paul special), I want to dig those dynamics, coolest viddy, thanks.
Wow thx!
They all sound terrific because of the player
A great player is necessary to display what a guitar is capable of.Just the opposite than many youtube channels from mediocre players and human being only capable of disassembling guitars for no reason and reccomending tons of gear to hide what is evident: a guitar is a musical instrument build to excell in the hands of a competent musicians.Gear is not the shortcut but knowledge and years of thinking and practise.
Well Played Sir!
🙏🏻
I actually have a set of Lindy Fralin hum-cancelling P90s on their way - they touched down in Australia this morning and should turn up at my door some time this week. They're actually going into a Strat. I like Strats and wanted some P90s, so I'll have the best of both worlds.
Wish i'd got a son like you i'd like to try that PRS, but the Epiphone still sounds the best to me, great playing as always, everything you do should be TABed.
I really would like to hear you playing with a Revstar Standard with humbucker pickups. I’m thinking to buy a RSS20 Congrats for your channel man I loved it.
That PRS with Fralins sounded pretty much like humbuckers to me. The SG Junior was some good old rock n' roll fun!
Yes. The PRS was totally unimpressive.
In my opinion this is the best comparison video with the most relevant, real life good playing. It's huge help. I get why many people demo pickups super dry and flat on the amp but to me that has no life or dynamics. Its not musical. I'd love to see something covering P90 sounds from the history of punk music too. But this has made me move much closer to a decision to try P90's in something like a Sire L7V.
Man that Casino sounds amazing! Really sounds similar to McCartneys Casino tone on the track Another Girl. Love the midrange punch on those p90s! Great video!
Glad you like it!
Awesome jam on all of those beauties!
Thank you kindly!
Great jazz blues style
A friend loaned me his 61 LP JR. I played it through a 68 Drip Edge JBL TWIN. I didn’t want to give it back. Now he’s got my Twin on loan. I’m glad he’s getting the same juice I was getting from these two. I’m not getting that magic Twin bell tone from my 68 Vibrolux but it’s decent.
Corey, came down with Covid On vacation. Long drive, fly, long drive to get to my remote home. I was greatly relieved to see your P 90 video, I held my phone to my chest and let the healing begin.
Get well soon, Charlie!
My favorites are my SD Phat Cat p90s in my ESP LTD PS1000 (offset LP semi-hollowbody)....I love p90s!!!
Visiting from a recommendation from Robert Baker. I have an ‘04 American Strat. I’ve tried, but I’m just not a single coil kinda guy. I put multiple different pick ups in this guitar. I landed on Seymour Duncan Phat Cats. I get some looks from other guitar players, but no complaints on the sound. I feel back in line be with my strat, and it’s now my main guitar. I’ll be looking up the Fralin’s you mentioned, P-90’s do have that noise to be aware of. Nice video, thanks. I’ll be checking out more
Thx for watching!
Dam dude those solos are Groovy
Awesome P90 demo! I put a Seymour Duncan Phat Cat P90 in the bridge of my Richmond (by Godin) Empire back in 2012. What a revelation.
Nice! People really like those.
I have a set phat cats in my Strat
Dang! That SG rips!!! Got me missing my 57 LP Jr reissue I regretfully sold a few years ago. LOL !
Nothin like a good Jr.
In my photo you can see my stock Vintage V6P with 3 Stacked P90's , it's a brand here in the UK, American Alder Body with Maple Neck with Rosewood finger board , its very unique , eventually I am looking at other P90's , i love this guitar for the blues, the Vintage Wilkinson Trem is brilliant
I got a thing for SG's and single pickup guitars.... especially RED ones.
Maaaan i love P90s. Amazing playing buddy.
Thx brother! Been loving your vids!
That was cool when you busted out the 63 SG junior at the end. I have a SG special with p90’s and I’m up in the air shall I get a SG junior or a Les Paul jr?
Nicely done. Although I haven't heard anything from you that wasn't tasty af. This solidifies my decision to put P90s in my first build, if I ever get time and room to work on it.
Thx! Go for it!
You just KICK ASS! Blues genius! I personall love the REVSTAR....
Hey thx!
I just love the P90. It works on so many levels! Those Yamaha's rule btw. Also love the LP Jr. It does it all really.
Love the sound of the P90's. What are you using for amplification .
That SG has the attitude for miles. I had one like that in the mid 60s. Unfortunately it along with my 59 LP were nicked out of an LA studio. I miss the SG a little more actually. Great playing Corey.
Yup. Nothing has attitude like an SG. Any decent SG. The most comfortable stage guitar by miles and - attitude.
Im completely sold. what an amazing video, man. Thank you for this! I am trading my G&L doheny tribute for a Guild starfire 1 Jet 90 this weekend that has 3 p90 pick ups. I have a lot of guitars and none with p90s. So I really appreciate this video as well as the inspiration to improve my playing. You're an amazing player
hey thx!
Wish I had a guitar with a P90 in it. 😢 The Epiphone's sounded good, I liked the Yamaha's, loved the PRS's, and the Gibson SG's was just "Wow!"
Regarding single pickups sounding better, as far as I know, the way guitars are typically wired means that all the pickups in the guitar remain "on" electrically to some extent even when they are turned off/deselected mechanically. This means multiple signal sources are being combined to some extent, and that reduces the quality of the main pickup that's "on." Magnetic pull on the strings is a less likely cause of signal degradation. As a consequence, I agree single pickup guitars tend to sound better - No phasing or boosting frequencies caused by other pickups.
I found this information on the Dylan Talk's Tone Channel. And you can easily test it yourself by selecting one of the pickups in a multiple pickup guitar, and tap on a pole piece of one of the de-selected pickups with a small piece of metal (tip of a paper clip works).
Most of the guitars used on the Sonic Drive Studio Channel have a single pickup, and they sound great.
Thx for that!
the main reason i watched this video is because of the P90’s i love the way the epiphone sounds espeacially the neck pickup i have a double cut kit from ebay about a year and a half ago and it has one pick up route in the bridge which is a P90 and i want to pick the best one for my sound thank you for the video what do you suggest on a pick up i play all kinds of music rock metal 80’s hard rock to name a few i want to get into jazz too
My favorite pickups !
👊🏼
Ready...here in France 🇫🇷
Robben is the man, it seems.
Excellent taste!
The string pull thing was debunked as a pseudoscientific claim because the magnetic pull isn’t strong enough to audibly effect vibration. They’d have to be super close to the point that that pull hits the pull to contact curve. I think Rhett has a video about that. There’s something there, but it might be the psychological phenomenon of minimalism processing the harmonic points that fall within the pickups range so we’re more conscious of the instrument.
Hi, I really like your videos and have already subscribed. I have a very nice Gibson Melody Maker with two P90s and single volume and tone control on it. It sounds nice but the hum is outrageous. Is there a way to cut the hum?
I’m afraid without changing your him canceling P90s, there isn’t much of a choice. You could use a noise gate but, I don’t prefer those
what a video! u play amazingly! I just picked up a guitar called Novo 2 days ago here in nyc....2 lollar p 90s what a guitar!!!you should try it...I think it would be up there among your favs! btw that junior u played was vintage??
chris rocco
Hey thx! I actually have a Novo. One of my faves! Yes the JR is a 63
@@coreycongilio the lollar p 90s in mine are incredible but thats also the baked pine body and how dennis makes em..Thanks for all your great vids and inspiration!!
I love P90s. I love my Epiphone LPC with Gibson P90s.
I've always wondered why the soapbar p90 has the installation screws at the center instead of the left and right border, because they look pretty bad being there between the pole pieces.
I try to remember that Seth Lover was trying to make the PAF tone as close as possible to the P90 without the hum.
I’m going to put a P90 type set in my $1000 Ibanez semi hollow. I’m thinking the Duncan Ones with the humbucker option.
Ya i was on the fence about the p90 cause they sound like they have a butter bowl over it like its covered.. and muffled inarticulate so to speak.. but on your hollowbody with the air behind it they sound the Best
Yes sir. Love me some P90s.
Great demo, Corey! The tone of the Fralins surprised me. Have you tried the Fishman Fluence Gristle-Tone P90s? If so, what's your take on them?
haven't tried them but, I kinda don't like the idea of having to charge my pickups
Awesome comparison. BTW , any differences comparing yours 61 casino VS current Casino in terms of pickup sound ?
I’m still waiting to find a new one I can compare it to
Love p90’s !
I have been wondering how these pickup’s would sound in my Michael Schenker Dean Flying V. I play mostly Blues and Rock.
The P90 sound is pure magic. 🪄
@Coreycongilio @7:57 it sounds like you're playing a few measures of Paul McCartney's "How Kind of You" from "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard." Deliberate or coincidence?
Definitely a coincidence.
Have you tried the Fishman P90s? I have an old PRS Soapbar Std that I’ve been considering swapping out the PUs. The LFs sound great!
I haven’t but, I’ve played the other fluency pickups and they sounded great
I have to admit I love the sound of a P90! But let’s face it dude you could play a noose and make it sound good! I love your style I’m a big fan. Keep the vids coming.
Ha! Appreciate that!
Hello Corey, really love p90 too. Have you ever try a es 295 from 50 ’S ? I can be on a good deal. I m searching for the sound of sean costello for exemple , but les paul gold top are from this period are over the sky on prices..
the 295 will get you there for sure!
Man - you play!
