Looks great! Would look even better without the sticker.:salude
I like the overall look too but for me that sticker would have to go

I have plenty of P-90 guitars that I LOVE. This just wasn't one of them. Varitones on the other hand....YANK 'EM!:teeth
In principle I am not against modifying the right guitar depending on the issues (minor finish issues or it having had a switch or bigsby aren’t enough for me). That said, I have played a 52 with one of the other bridges (mojo axe?) and there wasn’t a problem palm muting.
Joe, in the past you have said conversions haven’t played well for you and felt “stiff”. How about this one? (The ones I have owned and played have always played like any other vintage Gibson to me at least).
Joe hasn't played it yet. But I can attest that it is not in the least bit stiff. Joel did a GREAT job on it.eace2 When he gets a break in the current leg of his tour, I'm sure I'll ship it to him, and he can ship Willy Wonka to me (which he's currently touring with).

Here it is pre-conversion:
I sure wish I could find a conversion candidate like this guitar. Where does one find these hidden gems?
Switching gears........a rhetorical question......I am having trouble relating to the mental processes the owner who chose to glue an obscene sticker on the face of his guitar (depicting someone giving you the middle "finger"). Who does that? :dang
I didn't realize this guitar had been converted to a stop tail piece before.. No, question about it. It was the right move.
There is a reason why humbuckers are invented and why P90 is not as common today.
Supercool guitar anyway!
:dude:
Because we wanted to.:jim
