P-90 guitar suggestions?

Fender's got some interesting P-90 equipped guitars out, now. Personally, I've really been leaning toward a semi-hollow or chambered guitar with P-90's. Fender has the TC-90, which is a semi-hollow double cutaway with Duncan P-90's. That one has a single F-hole. There is also the new "Strat-o-Sonic" which I haven't actually seen in any stores, yet, but looks very, very cool. It's a chambered Strat (completely sealed, with no f-holes) that has two custom designed P-90's, which Fender is calling "Black Dove" pickups. Can't wait to get my hands on one of those. :cool:
 
Musician's Friend resurrected the Gibson SG Classic, which has two P-90's. It's a very nice guitar and is likely to retain it's value more than epi's, godins and the like. That said, the Epiphone '56 Les Paul Goldtop is a great value. I read that Buddy Guy's side man (forget his name) plays one.
 
Since this thread died, Ive bought 2 SG Classics with P-90's and one Les Paul Faded DC with P-90's. I really liked them all alot. I think I favor the SG Classic, just cause I love SGs so much. But the LPDC has a really great feel to it.

I have a great dislike for reverend guitars. I think Joe Naylor is a great guy, but I can't stand those formica guitars of his. I just don't dig the Danelectro type construction. It really is too bad they are quitting making their amps, cause I thought that was the strong point of the company.

I was amazed that no one mentioned the PRS SE Soapbar 2. Sweet sounding and playing, and not a lot of $$'s

Do they make that as a double cut now? because I remember it used to be a singlecut, which of course is discontinued... I haven't seen one in ages, but the singlecut was really nice for the money, if its a double cut now, it should be worth checking out.
