TheX Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I love my EPIPHONE 56 RI Les Paul with P90's so I decided to spend some money at GFS and try the Dream 90. Great decision, and now my Tele is a joy to play. Who else has P90 stories to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron G Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Is it even a joy to play without strings and a neck? I have Mean 90's in my Dot - MAJOR improvement over stock humbuckers and gave me that 60's sound I was looking for. I chose the Mean 90s over the Dream 90s cuz most reviews said thay had a more "authentic" P90 tone. They're probably quite similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheX Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 I wanted a pickup that would work with the GFS TC Alnico that I put in the bridge spot. *Supposedly* they work better together. *shrugs* Either way they sound great. Strings and the neck helped a bit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansmitchell Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I think I'll do either a mean 90 bridge/dream 90 neck or mean 90 bridge/classic 59 neck in my dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] I have some cream Seymour Duncans SP90s Hot 2 and Custom 3 soapbars waiting to be installed in a hybrid mongrel I built from scrap-parts. Charvel body, Fernandes stratocaster neck(pre-lawsuit), Jackson Floyd(!) and SG "double-winged" pickguard. It will look like a surf-guitar.

TheX Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 I have a set of mean 90's on my Epi Joe Pass and they sound fantastic! Wow, those are some of the same parts I ordered for mine. Even the tailpiece. GFS rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, the dude [i']did[/i] order SD Phat Cats for you, didn't he? Okay, I dug out the receipt, and lo and behold, it says "Pickups, Seymour Duncan Phat Cat SPH90-1 Nickel retrofit for Humbuckers..Killer Tone...great for conversions to that Vintage Sound." That's one hell of an item description for an invoice. But there's your answer...Phat Cats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 TheX...is that a Squire Telecaster, or regular Fender. I only ask, because it looks to be a thinner body, than the normal version, and a friend of mine has a Squire, that looks identical (save the new pickup you put in). So, just curious...

TheX Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 It's a Squire, I drilled through the body and added string ferules etc. along with a different bridge assy, metal jack plate with new electronics and both GFS pickups. I'm doing the neck next. It's a great project since GFS parts are so reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxst1281733995 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Yes... and good quality too! Great for all us mod-geeks and mad-scientist-builder types! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geetar playr Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Anyone doing the GFS mean 90/bridge; dream 90/neck swap out in your Epi, let me know the results. Looking to get a Epi G400 later this summer and make it into a Live at Leeds machine with some GFS injected pups (haven't gotten around to buying them, yet..) Thanks!

Sinner 13 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 if you have Stock Gibson 90's and are looking for a little more bite. I recommend the Seymour Duncan Hot 90. 13.9k as opposed to the stock 8.7k. I put one in my '01 LPJ a few weeks ago and man does that thing rip!
