Robert1950 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I have a Casino Coupe and am very happy with it. The size, the feel, the weight and the playability. The 339 size fits me like a glove. The Gibson version is an ES-390 (full hollow body like the Coupe) - way out of my price range. I was wondering what a mini-humbucker version would be like. There a Gibson ES-390 version with mini-humbuckers - also way out of my price range. If I picked up another Casino Coupe (preferably used), could mini-hums be installed with not too much damage? I haven't been able to find out anything about the pots in a Coupe. Would they be 250/300K like other single coil guitars? Would I have to upgrade to 500K? Whatever, I would have an "Epiphone ES390" at an affordable price. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabar Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 The P-90 routs might be too large for standard mini-hums --- in which case you'd need to find minibuckers in a full-size humbucker package. I think GFS has some, probably other makers do too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyHollywood Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I have no experience but I've read that P90s and mini humbuckers are around the same size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyHollywood Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Casinos do have different size P90s than other guitars though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirrorboy Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 The P90 soapbar pickups are the same size as the mini-humbuckers with pickup rings. In fact, Gibson used soapbar covers to modify into pickup rings for mini-humbuckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
