Nope Barry. Nuthin,which basicaly says-i have no idea what so ever and your guess is as good as mine.

Nah. The refreat isn´t the end of the world to me and as stated this is something i do for a friend. In short it is all good as far as i´m concerned.

Prostheta. Nah...BTDT a few times to many by now... :D

Got to play it a little though and have to say that she sounds just remarkable.

Yep. It´s setneck alright.
From what i´ve gathered these are rather scarse? Do you have any more info on them? I will rip the P90s out of there as i pull the job needed. I know Oscar previously has touched on the some Mat delivered P90s very well can be Gibsons.?
This particular axe in turn is in an at least decent nick.


Yep - seems you can get "once in a blue moon" :D
I only have a ET-240, and the P90 in the PE-150 are apparently the same as in the ET-240.
Further infos about the PE-150 I unfortunately don´t have :blush:

Regarding the pickups: I don´t think that Aria has installed original Gibson pickups.
In copying they were always well - best example are the T-top pickups in some APII.

Thats one sweet Axe Jesper. :love:
Any idea what she weighs, just out of curiosity.
6100 is the Go.

:love: Never seen one of these before. For an LP jr. fan, I guess I'll have to add it to "the list".

(Dang! The "list" just seems to keep growing and most of what's on there seems to reside at Jesper's house these days. Hmm, I've got some unused FF miles just sitting there............. :D )

Perhaps soon, Jesper will warrant his own site eclipsing Mats!

Yup. It all went as expected.
Saying that,while sanding the board,i have to admit that the owner of the guitar was more on the money than i was. Fretboard was so full of bumps and what have you not that i can´t but help wondering what this guitar has been through.
Hope to finish the refret today.

What kind of fret ends are you dressing her with? As you know, I'm a sucker for fully-rounded hemi-semi :-D
I think a few photos of the process would be great to see, especially on such a rare Mat.
