Absolutely agree!! Budget allowing, that's gotta be my next guitar.
In fact, I'm still thinking of selling the '14 premium quilt Standard to fund this...

:hmm:

Your guitar looks very nice. I'm seriously considering one of these instead of a R6. Wish I could make up my mind one way or the other. I haven't found one of the 2019 50s P90s to play in person though, and that's annoying. I have owned three R6s in the past and know what I'd get there. How do you think they stack up given that you actually have one?

i had an R6 & R7 in the early 2000's. I liked them but the necks on those at that time, or at least the ones i had, were pretty hefty. In time they both found new homes and i've always wanted another GT.

Of the Original Series, which i've already said i think is a great move for Gibson, the gold tops are the most appealing for me because the grade of maple isn't in play. I'm not sure what i would have gained by buying another R6 other than some snob rights and maybe a bit lighter guitar, or a little different color of gold. For a guitar at nearly half the price i'm very happy. Mine, like all of them of course, has been pleked and the feel right out of the box is just as i would hope for. The work is clean - it does have a two piece back although i'm not they all do, either way it doesn't bother me at the price point, under 2K.

hope this helps some of if you make a decision either way i'd love to see you new GT!

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE gold tops. Agree they are stunning! That said, I prefer a good burst as art because each one is so drastically unique, where gold tops (and I love them!!!) are 'same-ie'. Beautifully same-ie, but still..... :)

Congrats on the new guitar! Awesome!
