For the final piece that I purchased from the MOD collection two weeks ago - I got the Lean, Mean, Green Machine of an R9 officially known as "Croc-o-melon" on the Gibson box. This interesting green gloss top 1959 Les Paul Reissue has an open pore satin back finish and a really interesting pickup set known as the Gibson P94. I've never had a guitar with dedicated P94R / P94T pickups - only the Les Paul Push Tone that gave you the option to swap these in. I've got to say - I was really impressed by the tones of them in this guitar much more so than on the push tone!

    Guitarist and master producer Gordie Johnson (Big Sugar, Grady, Snakes of Central Texas) is a HUGE P-94 guy - and his tone is monstrous. He has a signature Gibson P-94 equipped SG that was a Canada-only release (it was actually the original “SGJ” as a pun on his initials, before the lower end SGJs of the mid-2010s). You should see if you can get your hands on it to document someday, although it’s pretty rare.

    This is one of my favorite looking Les Paul's that you've documented in a while Austin! I love that color green and the nice glossy top and the green back and sides as well, looks amazing! I only wish they would have done a gloss finish on the headstock and put the silk screen Les Paul logo on it. I wasn't as crazy about the white knobs but I could live with them because everything else works so well. Surprised at how nice the P94 sounded, something different. If money Was No Object I definitely would be grabbing this one for myself!

    One of my favourite guitars is a Hamer USA with Seymour Duncan Phat Cat pickups (which are their version of the P94). Back in the day the Phat Cats were better in my opinion than the true P90s that Seymour Duncan were making, probably because the SD P90s at that time used ceramic magnets whereas the Phat Cats used Alnico.

I tried to purchase an Emerald Green Flame Top Les Paul a couple of years ago, but ended up getting ripped off, and the guitar never arrived, fortunately I didn’t lose too much cash in the process, but I am extra cautious about ordering online nowadays, so it was a good learning experience. This was a good demonstration of the P-94’s too. Thank you for posting these videos! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🎸

    That is a very nice guitar, from its beautiful top, to the excellent sounding P94 pickups. I think the resonance of it acoustically is being captured by the pickups, and is adding to the richness of its tone. The guitar might look even better if it had a green Truss Rod Cover. I'd be tempted to ask Gibson if they could do that for you. It would make the satin Headstock look extra cool if it matched to top.

I usually rock one of each in mine but I do love the pair of P-94's together. Love the color on this guitar. I've got to see where I can get a set of alligator skin covers for my pickups. EDIT: Having to put a piece of tape on a solder joint to get it to work properly on a nearly $7000 guitar is ridiculous! That infamous Gibson QC strikes again.
