Did it turn up, Mike?
Forgot to say - yes it did. I did some testing (A/B with incumbent Fender 57/62) and posted this review.

yeah very nice. I have indicated to my wife that I will be buying a new guitar when this is over. Those Epi's look very tempting but i have my eye on another Epi. Of course if the lock down gets extended or things crash badly then it won't happen. The joys of self-underemployment!

Yeah, the new Epis look/sound great. I have never had a P90, and this is the right price, great reviews, etc. I don't mind the yellow either.

What Epi did you have your eye on?

I was thinking about the latest official Experience Hendrix one, $1999 at RS for a black one but it would have to be Olympic White.

But the Epi is first on the list.
