G-400 pickup change to P-90's

[s360guitarist]

Hey All,

 

Just brainstorming about putting P90's in my G-400. Gibson makes the SG Classic which goes for 1000 at GC. Will soapbars fit in the G-400 routes where the humbuckers are currently located?

 

I would need to run them so they would be hum canceling in the middle position.

 

Just a thought...

Soapbars won't fit in a Humbucker hole, but you *can* get P90s in humbucker-sized packaging. Gibson calls them P94s I do believe. I also think Seymour-Duncan do some HB-size P90s.

 

A friend of mine put some GFS Mean 90s in his G400 and it sounds awesome, just as an aside.

Thanks for the reply. I knew you could HB sized 90's. I was just unaware of the size issue.

 

Yep I hear the Mean 90's from GFS are good. A lot of people love the Dream 90. I have heard a sample of the Tonerider Rebel 90 and they are great too.

If you have a large-pickguard G-400 (I don't know if that's the standard or a reissue model), check how it's routed... you may be able to replace the pickguard with one cut for P-90s.

Seymour Duncans 'bucker sized P-90's are called "Phat Cats".

give them a listen on S/D's audio page.........OMG they're RAW !!!!!!!!!

 

I've been beating my brain deciding what to put a set of these bad boys in........

I gotta find out if they come in gold........they'd sound WICKED in my Sheraton II.
