newlife15 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Good day all Are there any drop in replacement p 90's for the Riviera that anyone is aware of? Also, do the riviera and casino share the same pickups other than the covers? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdogric12 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Gibson P94's work great as a replacement for humbuckers, but they wont' have the Casino dogear covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweed2 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 The biggest thing that I've found, on swapping p-90s, is pickup height (not all are the same) and string spacing. Over the last few years, I gone through 7 or 8 different brands, on different guitars. Height issues can be fixed with shims, but that can be a little unsightly. Pretty hard to go wrong with Lollars or Biltofts, both of which dropped right in to my Casino and Zephyr Blues DeLuxe. Most web sites will have dimensions, width, height, hole and string spacing and whats needed for the body cut out. Check around.I usually end up spending a little time sanding the bottom of the cover, or shim, to compensate for the body curve, just so it fits better.
