jammybstard Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Anyone know if Gibson (or anyone else) does a Humbucker that matches the Silver-Black-Silver of a P94? I'm thinking of changing out the bridge P94 on my Riviera Valensi for a humbucker, But I'd want it to look Stock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammybstard Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 Duesenberg Looks good! Have you ever heard one? Do you know what site sells them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungrycat Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I have a "half cover" Gibson ceramic 'bucker in my Explorer. It's supposedly from the late '80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricochet Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Looks good! Have you ever heard one? Do you know what site sells them? I've considered them looking for a P90 alternative, after reading some favourable reviews. But they're not exactly budget and I don't like the look(!) Check http://www.duesenberg.de for distribution to British shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammybstard Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 I have a "half cover" Gibson ceramic 'bucker in my Explorer. It's supposedly from the late '80s. So can you get half covers to retro fit to humbuckers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungrycat Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 So can you get half covers to retro fit to humbuckers? I have no clue. I got it used at a local shop. I guess you COULD cut the middle out of a regular cover, if you couldn't find one of these... I was told it was a Gibson ceramic (It sounds like a ceramic anyways...) from the mid to late 80's, and that seems to jive with pictures I've seen. For instance: I saw a magazine article about the band Anvil. In a picture, captioned as being from 1987, one of them had an 80's Flying V with these 'half cover' pickups.

jammybstard Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 Cheers Ric; No totally open covers, but I'm quite taken with the H-Gate covers in chrome delivered for a fiver; Just have to pick a pup now: I'm thinking '57 Classic or bare knuckle Mule, any other sugestions?

jammybstard Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Thought I'd resurect an old post and let you know I went with the H-Gate cober in the bridge with a Bustbucker Pro; very happy with the PUp; getting used to the look of the H-Gate cover slowly; I think I need a chrome Trussrod cover to balance out the extra chorme at the bridge now. any idea where I can get one of those from? I an such a tart when it comes to Guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan7olson7 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 you could always unsolder the cover/trim ring from the p94 and solder it onto a humbucker. if you do this DO NOT use a trigger type soldering gun. when you energize the transformer in it you can demagnetize the pickup.
