I got mine last weekend. For the longtime i thought i couldnt live with a Les Paul neck . Believe me, i regret that prejudice now. It feels and plays great, and the response on higher position (12 or above) is amazing. Dont get stuck on that idea of the Les Paul neck. It is worthless. It plays like a butter.

Yeah ! My wife likes it, too. Seriously, much better than a ES-335, physically speaking. I fits your body. Not as thick as an ES-175, very comfortable while standing. I ve been looking for guitar that is in between ES-175 and 335 in body thickness. This was it.
Also, versatile guitar. You can pretty much play anything from Jazz to blues to country, soul and funk. the tone palette is amazing.
I still believe this guitar deserves better recognition. Make sure to straighten the truss rod and acton before playing it. With a good adjustment, this one will take you places boyz and girls...

Another proud owner here. What are you all playing it through? Any amp sound better or worse in your estimation? I'm using a Quilter 101 through the quilter 10 inch block dock cab. I love it.

I got one in ebony on clearance from Sweetwater recently. I usually have chronic buyer's remorse, but I feel great about this purchase (the deep discount helped a lot).
I'm a sucker for that split diamond headstock though.

I like this guitar, I think it's good.

I have a 2017 vos p90. I absolutely love it. It nails the early 50’s sound. They are dog ear mhs p90’s, I did not need to shim the pickups, they are at the perfect height, just adjust the pole pieces. Sounds just awesome thru my Dr.Z Cure. Very happy overall with the guitar.
-
It looks mouthwatering with P90’s, that’s a fact!
-
For those on a budget (like me), a similar shaped and built guitar is the Godin Montreal Premiere. I really like mine although the stock pickups were not good. I put Gibson 57/57+ set in mine and the guitar came alive. The newer ones come with SD pickups and even the Supreme version with bindings and split parallelogram inlays is 1/2 the price of the ES 275.

The Godin Montreal premier is a semi. Large difference.
-
The Godin MP is an interesting guitar. IMO, somewhere between a full block semi and a hollowbody ... since the center block on the MP is not solid, heavily scalloped, more like Gretsch trestle bracing than true semi hollow. If I could get one of the P90 models at a bargain price, I'd consider it.

Yes, p90’s and the Dr. Z Cure can sound like a that if you wish. It can do blackface too with the turn of the mid knob. A very, very responsive eq and a global volume control is a big help. This is a great jazz amp. Best kept secret. I wanted to buy something other than a Princeton. I don’t miss reverb at all. I hooked up a HOF reverb and although it sounded great, I’d rather play without it. I want to hear my guitar through this amp with nothing in between.

Yes, I consider myself very lucky to have found one only 2months ago. They were a limited run in 2017. I also consider myself very fortunate to have the cash to purchase it. It was on sale but still over $4,400 (cdn). I would purchase it again in a heartbeat.
