I have no idea what those are worth, and I can't bear to go check, because I don't want to know if I can buy it from you or not (LOVE Doublecut style LP Jrs)

Jake I'm in both of these about 1400/ea.  Used to be you could get them in the sub-1K range, but have gradually been creeping up.  If you are lucky (and quick) you can occasionally still get closer to 12-1300 range.  Usually see a few pop up every year.

The dual pickup P90 Specials show up quite a bit more, tend to run $6-800, and also get great reviews.  Most of those have the TOM bridge...

...but you can sometimes find 'em with wraptails:

I've always admired the Harmers from afar, but was way late to the game (first one in 2013).  Prices are getting more painful, but they are still really undervalued.  I've dumped a lot of other gear to get the chance to try some... and I have yet to be disappointed- top notch materials, borderline OCD/perfectionist builds, and gorgeous finishes.  A Gibson of equal caliber would cost dearly.

Haha  :mrgreen:

Be warned... it's a slippery slope.




I'm a sucker for a pretty face

I had one of those in the 90s for about 3 years, in black. If I had kept it, I would definitely have gotten rid of the way-overwound Seymours and replaced them with vintage P90s. But I wound up trading it in for bass gear.  :)

I finally heard the SD P90 for the first time today (model SP90-3B)... and uh... yeah.  Have to agree.  I reverted that Korina Jr. back to stock and put it on the block (don't need to keep both).  The Lollar that was in there before was a night and day improvement. 
It's this one from the look if it...

Pretty sure the yellow one I picked up has some vintage-spec Rio Grande made for the dealer that ordered 'em (I'll find out when I restring it one of these days).  Whatever it is, it sounds closer to the Lollar than the SD.
