Grote Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar with P90 Demo/Review

[@sporque]

The guitar that Grant Green had on the album cover you're talking about was a Gibson ES-330…a full hollow body with P90 pickups. I had a '61 that I sold cheap for rent money. 😢 I should have kept it and lived in a cardboard box. Good review, nice playing.

Really great playing! I think there is still something wonky with that bridge pickup. On it's own, it should sound a lot brighter - more trebley than the middle or neck switch position, but it doesn't. Also, the middle switch position sounds a bit "quacky" which is another tip off that wiring is suspect, probably out of phase. But on that neck pickup...you got it happening, for darn sure!

Very interesting Mike I think that guitar sounds great! In my humble opinion with regards to most instruments much of what comes out has a lot to do with what the musician brings to it.

Thank so much for checking it out, Mike! Hope you’re having a good week. 🎸😎

Love the playing!!! Really nice. I'm going to have to try to learn some of those jazzy licks. I've been wanting to buy one of these guitars, but I hadn't seen a review by a really good player. Now I have. Thank you! Btw, there was another reviewer whose neck pickup wasn't working when he got it.

That is a great sounding guitar especially for $200. That middle position is almost certainly wired out of phase. I think that’s why you find it spongey. The cool thing is that some early Gibson’s Les Paul’s equipped with p90s were wired this way. Freddie King has a lot of great out of phase sounds on his Hideaway album. Can be a really cool sound in the right context. Maybe not ideal for jazz, though😂

Thanks for the advice man. I’ll check out that Freddie Kind record for sure. He is the man.

Stone jazz for those that might like it.
