  1. Well, I think I found the answer to my question on the Epiphone Talk forum: "The new Epiphone P-90 PRO™ single coil pickups are also made with 18% Nickel Silver covers and have been designed and tooled from the ground up with new bobbins manufactured to historic dimensions, Elektrisola magnet wire, sand cast Alnico V magnets, and pole shoes manufactured using correct alloys and to Gibson dimensions. And for you sticklers to detail, the new Epiphone P-90 PROs™ also have tin plated brass base plates like used on 50's and 60's era Gibson P-90 pickups."
  2. Hi, New member here. Ordered an Epi LP Special TV yellow. I am curious if anyone has reliable knowledge (not a guess) on what version of Alnico the P90 Pro pickups are made with? Gibson sells P90's and lists them as Alnico V. I would guess the Epi P90 Pro's are Alnico V too but I have not found and detailed info on them at all. I have noticed (subjectively) that the Gibson LP Special TV Yellow I have seen on YouTube has a tiny bit more growl and resolution. Would you agree? If I want to chase that last bit of tone to make up the distance, has anyone replaced their P90 Pro's with another brand of pickup and had the desired result?
