That's like a good chef though. You can tell he spend lots of hours in chair soldering additional mini toggelz into his tone creations....

Eastman has a fair rep.
Take a look at the Godin Kingpin 2. Godin is Canadian.
Otherwise if you want to spend a few more bucks you might take a look at some of the Guild line. Your insistence on P-90's kind of limits things unless you were willing to do a pickup swap when you got it. Too bad you aren't down here today, blues fest in Aranasas this afternoon. Cheers brother.
Yes. Now we're talking my blues language
I have a Godin P90 LP style and its damn near the best i ever played.
Those Duncan 90s are killer

Sweet music man too!
Vintage 70's Guild aristocrats are available well under 2k. Great sounding axes but not really big fat boys.

Yeah i had that amp when i was a kid in the 70s but the 130 watt version.
I was a n00b back then and wanted to be a rock star.
Louder is better to a 15 yo.
I quickly learned the Amp was totally
unusable and ditched it in the late 80s
Took me 40 yrs to find an mint clean one all original in 65 watt with 2 10s and the original 6CA7 (EL34) GE tubes and PI tube

Ibanez makes some nice hollowbodies, and you can drop P90s in.

Have you though about a Tom Anderson Bobcat? F*cking expensive, but good guitarmaker.
Another thing I'd look for is one of those ESP or Ibanez lawsuit guitars.
A Pat Metheny model might also float your boat.

I know you said no Chinese guitars, but I wouldn’t sleep on Eastman.
I’ve got one of their semi-hollows & it’s honestly better than most off the rack Gibson 335’s I’ve picked up. Resale value isn’t particularly great, so if that’s an issue, shop used.
$650 for this one on marketplace, with HSC & the original Gotoh tailpiece. Ditched the stock pickups for some Frailin Pure PAF’s, and it’s just fantastic. I bought a Heritage recently that’s supposed to “replace” it, but every time I pick it up I can’t bring myself to list it.

Nice guitar, but what the f*ck is a "sex panther"? I can just imagine telling your bandmates, "Hold on, boys, I'll just bring out the sex panther" haha

I wanted something to cover the tailpiece studs, and didn’t want it to say “custom made” like they typically do. Figured I’d go with something dumb
