Hello All,
It has been a while since my last posting. Here’s the latest…
I came across and purchased a rather interesting guitar yesterday at a local shop. It’s a Fender Noventa Strat. It has two P90s and hardtail.
The Noventa series was apparently available around the 2021 timeframe, which included a Tele and a Jazzmaster (w/3 p90s). I never knew about this lineup until yesterday.
Anyway, here’s my new Strat Hybrid thing 
…
Hi Gary ,
Happy NGD 
That is a very sweet one and I wish you a lot of time together
Greetings,Rogier
Cool instrument Gary.
That should be a lot of fun.
I seem to be a p90 fan myself. Of the 6 pups I got, 3 of them pups are p90s. I’m a fan.
Sharp looking guitar too. I dig the black on red. That’s very cool looking!
Congratulations.
Have a great time with that sweet score.
Thats a nice looking guitar.
P90’s they sound so cool.
Nice guitar man love it cheers Hec
Happy new guitar day
Happy NGD, Gary 
This is such a beautiful guitar! 
The combination of red and black always looks amazing 
Have lots of fun together 
Cheers

Enjoy your new toy. 
Happy NGD Gary, it’s a beauty. I find that I really like the sound of P90’s, but do not have a guitar with them “Yet”.
Interesting. When a Strat has only two pickups, is the toggle switch three positions instead of five?
Very nice, congratulations!
I love that P90 sound, I think you will too.
Squier has a very similar model in their current Paranormal range called a Strat-O-Sonic. It’s 2x P90s a 3 way switch, tone, volume, and a Stoptail bridge and they come in two of Gibson most iconic colors, translucent red of SG fame and Tele Blonde.
I do believe that they were a 3 way switch.
Thanks all for your nice responses!
The P90s on the Noventa are amazing! My 1st experience with P90s was on my…former… Epiphone Casino, so I wanted another guitar with the same type pickups.
I really wanted that color and finish, too.
Indeed, it has a 3-way switch, which seemed a little strange at first. 
I was very interested in the Strat O Sonic, but the tail piece doesn’t have individual string intonation adjustment. I didn’t want to change out the tail piece, either, so that was a show stopper for me.
Another strange bit on the Strat O Sonic is the tailpiece is from Epiphone (at least on some of the production Strat O Sonics).
It’s interesting that the Strat O Sonic has traditional Gibson scale length. Also has push/pull volume control for series/parallel pickup combos and push/pull tone tone control for pickup phasing. Not sure why Fender didn’t go that way with switching on the Noventa.
Cheers!
Beautiful guitar! Congrats!
Ooh nice one!! Congrats!!
