Dang these noisy little pickups can make some great sounds! But how great? Let's listen to four sets in a '95 Gibson Les Paul Special and compare them to a real deal '56 Les Paul Special. Pickups from Reilander, Organic, Onamac Windery and ThroBak all weigh in on P90 tone, all with a little bit something different going on. And just because you asked us, a '63 Gibson Melody Maker just for fun.

Yeah we know, we've played some LP Standards on other shows but not all of the original series from the very first in 1952 to the last SG style in 1963. We have them all and we play them all back to back sprinkling in all the snappy patter you expect and maybe some you don't. Warning: we did have to use the Magic Sword Canes to go back in time again but we're back now and doing just fine.

Wolfe at Wolfetone Electronics has been working on a cover for a P90 pickup, any P90 pickup that will work with a humbucking guitar with no modifications and he sent us a prototype. That's right, now your LP Standards can have P90's if you love that sound as much as we do. Still a 3D printed prototype, D & P take it for a spin along with Wolfetone Mean and Meaner P90s and compare them to other pickups and an original '54 LP which is always fun. Wolfe is doing a Kickstarter for this idea too, check it out on his web site. Now let's get going!

Ah yes, the P90, the venerable old single coil pickup from Gibson. Just the ugly, old noisy stepsister to the PAF's or an ultimate tone machine all it's own? It's time to revisit the P90's from the fifties as well as find out what the boutique pickup winders like Lollar, Tyson, RC and Sanford Magnetics have to offer and how they compare. Noisy, greasy and emotional: We love 'em, are you ready?

The "Doug and Pat Show" return for installment 3 where they play, compare and talk about old and new Gibson Les Paul Juniors, the Working Man's guitar. Historic re-issue vs. an original '55, single cutaway vs. double cutaway. Why are they so "ballsy" compared to other P90 guitars like Les Paul Specials? Are the red ones brighter? Where's the Billy Gibbons pipe? All questions asked right here my friends, let's do this.
