The OLP MS Tin Top features a real tin top that's distressed for sick vintage industrial appearance.

An aviation-inspired gauge lights up when you pull up the tone knob on your OLP Tin Top Electric Guitar and the fret markers are Phillips head screws. Bare black humbuckers crank out punishing crunch and searing sustain. It's a working man's version of the famous McSwain Machine with a distressed satin black back and a metal-faced McSwain style headstock. OLP assembles the Tin Top Electric Guitar with a basswood body, rosewood fretboard, North American maple bolt-on neck, 24-3/4" scale.

OLP Tin Top Electric Guitar Features:

• Basswood body
• North American maple bolt-on neck

• 24-3/4" scale
• Real tin top and head cover
• Bare-pole OLP humbuckers

Big bang and looks for your buck

I bought it in Berlin as it's looks had me drop dead on the street. Love how it looks, feels AND sounds. I'm no guitar expert but this thing is far from crappy or horrible. I've had no issues or troubles with it. It sounds big. As well as the option between active and passive pickup's. I say if you want a killer looking guitar with more than decent sound, go get it. If you need that 2000 dollar Gibson sound..well, go get that, but I double dare anyone to hear the difference between this and a 2000 gibson when churning out Ministry like riffs and the like.

I got this guitar about half a year ago just as a collectible, but it sounds surprisingly good. I gave it an intonation job, put on Medium strings and use it for slide. I used it at a show for the first last week and put through a pedal board it was awesome. More people came up and asked me about the guitar...a lot of fun and a great showpiece

WOW what a piece of crap guitar! I purchased this guitar because it looked pretty cool. I figured I could change out the pickups with some EMG's and have a pretty cool chugging machine. But wow, the quality of this guitar is terrible. The pickups came with pieces of metal sticking to them (looked like metal files from an etch a sketch) The action was so high and when i lowered it to where it felt good, it was buzzing against the bridge pickup. Do yourself a favor, ignore the price on this guitar and buy something else!! You definitely get what you pay for!!

Tin Top Lacks quality workmanship

Posted by LiveTiger from Hopkins, MN on Aug 14, 2007

Experience w/product: I have heard about it

Reviewer's Background: 35 years active and hobby musician

Reviewer's Play Style: Rock, Metal, NIN rules!

I purchased this guitar as a project guitar, most of the lower priced guitars that I purchase turn into projects, one of the first things I do is install electronic shielding. Anyway I dis-assembled this guitar and was appalled at the shoddy workmanship. This is a worst case example, I've never seen a guitar so poorly constructed. For instance screw holes and drilled holes appear to be done without a jig or template and redrilled and over drilled in some cases, the neck was shimmed with emory cloth (cloth sandpaper), screws were stripped attaching the bridge to body. There is no Serial Number on this guitar. I should have boxed it up and sent it back, but I decided to move forward with the project and fix the defects myself. BTW, I saw one once that seemed to be better quality and it had a serial number.

this is a great guitar with a great feeling neck!

in addition to the light going on when you pull out the tone knob, it kicks in a coil tap that gives you a thinner, single-coil-type sound.

when it arrived, the action was set way too high, but with some adjustments it is now sleek and easy to play with a great, resonant sound. the solid basswood body gives it great sustain and controlled feedback but it's not as heavy as one might expect.
