smips65 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Any knowledge of what these are supposed to imitate? Can't break the cover from the pup, welded together. Is that normal? sorry the pics are so big BTW, am working on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teegar Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 In your last post you asked what kind of pickups, the cover looks to be the standard "dogear" for P-90 pickups. I was looking into replacement covers this morning for humbuckers, the product info said soldering required, so I suppose it's normal to have a metal cover soldered to the pickup. I think.

AS90 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 You need a very hot soldering iron for pickup covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledge57 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Where are the covers soldered, just on the ends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smips65 Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Yeah, just on the ends, the welding that is. (I think it's a bit more than just sodering) I'm not interested in breaking it apart or anything, guitar sounds great. Just wanted to know, P-90 copy, or some wierd cheapo that got added later. With that name on the back of the pup, doesn't indicate epiphone or anything like that. Tried to post as clear a picture of it as I could. At first I thought the gold knobs were replacements for the originals, but having researched a little further, that seems to be the stock issue,(kinda wierd, chrome all over, then gold knobs?) Guess that's what make Epi's so special. Anyway, been busy playing, bonding, that sort of thing.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeper Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 The covers on some are also held on by screws running through the pup. Yea, knobs look stock, pups probably are too. They used many asian manufactures throughout the years. The pups in my LP from that era were fantastic after a potting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
