fartz Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I have recently changed the pickups in my sg special to p90s mainly due to the sg classic being unavailable in the uk for years(and now discontinued) and the fact that I got a really good deal on the special. What do you think? Looks great! Man, those are great pics!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blues_breaker Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 For those who were asking about the pickguard... To mark out the basic shape clamp the original pickguard to your 5 ply plastic sheet. Scratch the outline onto the sheet with a scriber or something sharp. At the same time drill out the screw holes through original holes. Scratch a line at the back of the humbucker slots(the P90s slots are marked using their covers from this point forward.) Mark the holes for the bridge and remove clamps. Cut out the shape, leaving about 1-2mm for final finishing, using a power or hand jigsaw. File to the line,using a half round file, then holding the file at 45 degrees bevel the edge. Countersink screw holes. Mark out the p90 slots using method above leaving 1mm all round. Using a 14mm drill bore out bridge holes. Take the same drill and bore the corners of the pickup slots, the radius is correct. Cut and file to line. Done:) Thanks again for the positive comments!
