JohnnyCrash Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I'm putting a minihumbucker in the P-90 soapbar route on my '01 Les Paul Junior Lite's neck spot. Just got the Gibson minihumbucker pickup in the mail, but it does not have instructions OR a mounting bracket. Does anyone know where I can find a mounting bracket? I've looked everywhere I usually buy parts, as well as online Gibson retailers. I believe the mounting bracket screws directly into the body and the mini's height adjustment screws go into the mounting bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 The Gibson mini-humbucker was developed to fit in the P-90 route with it's mounting ring. This is how and why the Les Paul Deluxe was born around 1970. It might help to know that your looking for Les Paul Deluxe pickup mounting rings.

I understand how and why the Deluxe was born (P-90 covers were cut to fit previous P-90 routed guitars). The minihumbucker itself comes with the creme plastic mounting ring... I need the bracket that sits under that. The mounting ring's height adjustment screws do NOT fit into any mounting in a nekkid P-90 route. From my understanding I need a mounting BRACKET - I already have the mounting ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyCrash Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 I just cut an aluminum bracket and used a #3-48 tap to cut threads into it. I installed the pickup and it sounds great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
