  1. That was my thought. Buy one and use a forwarder. My only concern is it's already $160 for the pickup. If I have to pay import charges and pay someone to send it over I'm looking above $200. This whole guitar cost me £440. I'll look into it though. It would be good not to drill into it. I've also got saved searches on Reverb + eBay incase they come up anywhere in the world.
  2. Hi, I love the neck pickup in my MM 2007, but not the bridge. I want to put a dogear P90 in the bridge to get that Junior sound. Anyone done it before? Obviously the wood would need routing underneath and the plastic pickguard altering. I'm trying to avoid replacing the entire pickguard as I can't seem to get a 2 pickup replacement guard with a single P90 slot. I've attached a picture of a dogear casing on top of the current pickup. I think it is probably do-able but seems it might be a difficult job. There is a Seymour Duncan drop in Singlecoil sized P90 but I can't get it in the UK. And I do wonder how much it will sound P90 esque.
  3. Hi! I'm trying to work out how you wire a 4 wire pickup to the 5 wire Gibson Quick Connect system. I understand the Gibson 5 wire coding is: NORTH START: RED NORTH FINISH: WHITE SOUTH START: BLACK SOUTH FINISH GREEN AND bare wire : GROUND But some replacement pickups only come with the 4 wires NORTH START + FINISH and SOUTH START + FINISH so no bare wire . So I would wire all the corresponding wires together but then I'm left with a ground wire on the Gibson 5 wire quick connect and no ground wire on the 4 wire. What would I do with that? Would the pickup still be grounded properly? Thanks!
