I-35 LC with Soap Bar P90's
I-35 LC with Soap Bar P90's
Thanks for a great forum. I am fortunate to have a 2014 I-35 LC with Lollar Soap Bar cream pickups that I bought brand new in 2014 and have not played it much at all. After I bought it, I really did not feel I was worthy and so, it sat in the case while I beat up on my used 290 and lesser guitars. The I-35 LC is just fantastic. I have not seen any others like it I wondering if anyone else has one? I am thinking about starting to play it and I would like some advice on pickup height and any other comments about it. The photos are from the ad when I bought it from the Music Emporium in 2014 and it looks the same today. I play mostly clean through vintage amps such as my 57 Twin or 65 Deluxe Reverb. Thanks

You are worthy. Play that thing. All the time.

Thanks, for the encouragement. In fact, I just recently pulled it out and started playing it, again. Adjusted the pup heights, etc. It is just fantastic!

Very cool guitar there. I’m a P90 fan. I bet that sounds great.

I am fortunate to have several higher end amps and last night I played it through a Matchless Chieftain Exotic Wood amp and it was marvelous. I rarely can find that perfect clean tone that just makes it all happen. In the words of the wine lovers "nice pairing". The I-35 LC has sustain that goes on for miles, it seems, especially the lower string frequencies. I went from the original 11's down to D'Addario XL nickel wound 10's and for my hands, it is much more playable. Drop D tuning is fantastic.
