The only gibson I've ever lusted for..
Hollow-body ES-330 w/ 2 single coil P-90's.

Once upon a time I owned an 80's Les Paul Studio.. 
it didn't do it for me, although it looked prrrty..
I've since learned - LP = great guitars, but not for me.

;D  Awesome!  That's practically the idea right there.  The one I'm gonna make won't have a cutaway or electronics though.  8)

This is a great looking guitar!  It reminds me... missing from this thread thus far is a reference to the best, imho, p-90 equipped guitar in regular production today: the Epiphone Casino!  Inexpensive and versatile and great all around.  If I had to have only one guitar, it might well be a Casino.
