I have a new little Vixen

[P-Nutz]

Apologies for the bad pics.

Picked it up on a whim. Light. Resonant. Took a bit a setup with the wrap tail but I’m likin’ it.

What say you?

Vixen, eh?
Is it supposed to be for ladies?
Is it a smaller body?
I've never heard of it.
Interesting fret markers.
Do they come with P90s?

Originally marketed for females. Smaller body, belly cut, all mahogany. 490T & 498R, weighs about six pounds. Screams like a banshee!

Sweet. I always wanted one of those little hollowbodies with a P90.
Maybe an ES140 or maybe there was a 125 3/4 size.
I had a Gretsch Rambler that totally scratched that itch, but it got sucked into the revolving door of gear vortex and is long gone.

I especially like the smaller body ES guitars for gainy slide guitar because they feedback less than their bigger brothers. And I think the little ES-125 3/4 looks cool.

A young woman I went to HS with had an ES-140t 3/4, that was the coolest little electric hollow body with a P-90.
