Rare that we get great southern rock twice in one week in our state. Blackberry Smoke will be at the River Center theater tonight in Baton Rouge.

From my social media feeds ...
A mutual friend put Carondelet P-90s on Charlie Starr's radar last year and he's been a friend and a fan ever since.
Charlie invited me to Blackberry Smoke's soundcheck in Baton Rouge yesterday (!), and no pickup winder meets up with modern Southern rock's patron saint of P-90s without something special in tow.
Behold three very custom Carondelet "Hog Ear" dog-ear P-90s, inspired by Charlie and hand-wound by yours truly to Charlie's preferred specs.
Specifically, an overwound (9k DCR) pure vintage Gibson single coil blueprint, featuring two roughcast A4 magnets, vintage inspired metallurgy, and an unpotted coil wound with 1950s spec enamel-insulated wire.
Charlie has two of the Carondelet customs, and he said one goes asap into a project '58 Les Paul Junior he has back home, so it can join the Smoke touring guitarsenal (!).
The third custom "hog ear" resides in my personal '55 Junior, which I brought to soundcheck so Charlie could get a relevant test drive. Raw Android A/V video snippet below. The amp is Charlie's go-to 1960 brownface Fender Concert combo.

Yes he is. And Paul is a very happy guy. He loves his job, based on the smile plastered up his face all night every time I’ve seen them.

I forgot to tell you how great your Jr. looked and sounded in that video. That was great. I would love to play that one.
I got my horseshoe trem on my LP jr and it's pretty darn good, but I'm going to put the shortest springs on it. The handle's up too high.
I ordered those and they should be in this week. I want to put some photos on here, but I'm going to wait until it's finished.
It's not slick like yours, but it's good for homade.
