There is a guitar pictured on the site which appears to be a Strat type guitar with 2 P90 style pickups. I have never seen this model before and wondered if anyone can give me some info as to what the model designation is, ever played one, wood, etc. Thanks much!

I must have missed that one. I'll look for it.

The pickups I have in my 1986 MIJ '72 RI Strat are Single Coils wound to be like P-90's.

Several models, like the Jaguar or Jazzmaster, use P90 looking soapbar pups.

Chet-Look in the "Wallpaper" area. It is the far right hand picture in the top row leaning against a Bassman. Thanks.

OK. That does look cool. I'm not familiar with what model that would be though.

Pete Townshend plays a Strat. sometimes that has P90's for
pups put on it.

Yep, P90s on the SGs. And for that matter, that Vox semi he used on the Smothers Brothers show seems to have some kind of P90 style pup on it, if I'm seeing it right.

But it would be a pretty unusual thing to have on a Strat, so I'd be interested if Townshend ever did it. I'm doubtful...
