brianh Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Sorry for such a dumb question, but what's the real difference between, say a Gibson P-94R (neck) and P-94T (bridge) pickup? I assume "R" stands for Rhythm and "T" stands for Treble or some such, but electrically is it just an output/windings difference or is there some other marketing voodoo going on? The reason I ask is becasue Rocochet's post about the Ishibashi Riviera got me to thinking that I could mod my stock Riv with P-94s and a Mojo harness and have myself a Valensi on the cheap. Long Island Guitar Parts had a new P94R on sale yesterday for $75, and I snagged it, but the Ts are on backorder just about everywhere else. Could I have just ordered two Rs and been just as happy or would that have been a mistake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron G Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Often the pole piece spacing is different to match the string spacing at the relative positions, although it's not critical (335s use 2 identical pickups, for example). Bridge pickups are often a bit "hotter" for volume balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadedepi Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Hi Brian, The specs (DC Resistance) are: P-94R - 8.1K ....... P-94T - 9.1K Plus as Ron stated, pole / string spacing is also a concern. Faded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
