Even the back control cover is made of resonant fine hardwood (not cheap tone sucking plastic)

The P-Rails pickup has a P90 coil designed to work perfectly with humbuckers, that augments a humbucker coil to create our most powerful mid humbucker tone. This guitar with only a simple valve amp, without reverb, can make some awesome sounds.

So what does an F90 sound like?
Extra sweet modulation compared to a G90.
Bridge SC: bright and gritty like a vintage P90 PU - think of Neil Young
Mid SC: funky between Strat posn 2 or 4 and P90s mid posn
Neck SC: bell-like Strat neck PU - think of Jimmi H or SRV
Bridge Humbucker: bright aggressive gritty moderate distortion humbucker
Mid Humbucker: ultimate power tone, strong bass and harmonics, full and rich, smooth to roaring gritty from picking style
Bridge Humbucker: clean articulate smooth vintage neck humbucker tone
