Foxboron Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 well, not much help from my but, i somehow belive its a p-100 and im 0.1% sure. and its kinda unclear pictures.
pohatu771 Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 That's definitely a P-100... it's stacked. A P-90 is only half as tall.
joeypinter Posted May 28, 2009 Author Posted May 28, 2009 thanks so much, i thought so. im looking into P-90's however i don't want anything freaky like "modern" high gain crap. i want something as close as possible to an original P-90. any suggestions?? dimarizo and duncan make some and someone sent me a link to lindy franlin pick ups, i never heard of them.
tulsaslim Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Fralins are too damned expensive. Duncans & Dimarzios are great for a decent price. And, although their HBs are lame, Epi P90s are quite good.
GuitarJunkie Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Fralins are too damned expensive. ?!?!? They list on the Fralin website for 80 bucks. On the Dimarzio site, their price list shows the MSRP on a Soapbar as $104. Duncans are $76 on MF. Go with Fralins.
NeoConMan Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Lindy Fralin is the recommendation I made. Pleasure to do business with - answers his own phone. Try THAT at Duncan or DiMarzio. You can buy from a company that spends millions on advertising so you recognize the name, or you can buy from a company that makes customers happy and gets business the old-fashioned way - by word of mouth. I sent a pickup back to him for wax potting once, he charged me $10 total - shipping and all. I put extra cash in the box to cover it, he shipped the cash back in the same box. You guys do what you want. Just sayin'.... :-) You want service? Lindy is your man. You wanna just buy whatever is cheapest and hope you like it? Throw a dart at your computer screen.
GuitarJunkie Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 While I've never had a reason to call, I've heard nothing but good things about their customer service. Their pick-ups aren't too bad either. I have a set in my '95 Special...
joeypinter Posted May 28, 2009 Author Posted May 28, 2009 thanks for all the replys. i agree with you NeoConman about service, and how important it is, back in the '80's i put some Sperzil locking machine heads on a strat. yes, i fell for the crap about slipping, however i called the number for Sperzil and some chick answered the phone, i asked for someone in customer service then she hollered "DAD!!" then Bob Sperzil gets on the phone. i asked if he was at work in the "factory" he said **** no, im in my kitchen. very cool. i'm going to call Fralin to tell him what i want also there is a store near by that has them. that TV special is gorgeous.
