aljosha Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 hy, as I decided to not sell my SG but rarely play it since I've got my seventies Strat, well, so I'm gonna strip it, make it a nice cherry red or natural and give it better picups and shaping (more like a Gibson) and here is my problem I dont really want to put in Humbuckers, Id like to give it P90s I know that I could juse P94, but I love the look of P90 soapbars but I could not find anything to tell me wheter they fit (I'll have to do some routing, I know that) or they are too small and if they are too small, might dog ears help? hope someone can tell me thanks aljosha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Or, just put Mini-humbuckers in the Classic, as it is? That way, you could go back to P-90's, if you wanted, at a later time. Just a thought...

Xaj Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 One more from Woodstock... Ooohhh Carlos Santana's heavily drug induced soloing from Woodstock is legendary. And at the time he played a nice SG, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, 2 or 3 Hi-Watt Stacks, will make almost ANY guitar, in the right player's hands, sound outstanding! Go Pete, Go!!! ;>) CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aljosha Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 well, thanks guys I'm gonna head for 94s then, hate that big picguard best aljosha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Graves Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Before you jump too fast, check out the Pure 90 from BG pickups. It's a real soapbar that's had the tabs trimmed and a bucker cover put on. Bryan handwinds them and they sound phenomenal! Under $100 each, too. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gl297 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 you already have a single coil guitar that you love, I'd keep the humbuckers (or upgrade them) and you'd have a guitar for each style. The difference that adding Gibson humbuckers makes is very noticable and a big improvement imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aljosha Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 hy, thanks elias, I'm gonna keep that in mind maybe give them a try but its gonna be P90s for sure, I'm gonna build a LesPaul soon (gotta finish my acoustics first) and that will get mini-Humbuckers (so I can still switch to P90s ) but the SG needs other pics, the front one is splittet (one coil damaged...), the other one is a "overwound" gibson, far too much Power and "anger" for my playing well thanks again aljosha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disaster Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Check out the Seymour Duncan P-Rails. P90s, HB, & SCs all in a snazzy HB sized pick-up. Very cool. They're going into my G-400 as soon as I can raise the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
