Silenced Fred Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Limited Run? I like the white one, but since its a limited run, I probably won't end up with one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG FAN Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I already have too many SGs, 800 bucks is a tad too high for my blood anyway. P90s do rule BTW, routing my black SG Special for some Lollers next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG FAN Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 How do you route a humbucker equipped guitar for p90 pickups? You enlarge the routes a tad bit, soapbars are a little wider than humbuckers. The "batwing" pickguard covers the pickup routes, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG FAN Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Well I'm thinking for my LP Studio, I want to put a P90 in the neck It might not work on a LP as the pickups are screwed directly to the wood, as with the SG they are suspended in the pickguard. You might get lucky and find an extra large pickup ring that will cover up the hole, but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damian Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 P-90s rule. Who's with me? I'm with you.....I ignored them for years....I'm now addicted to them, along with Bigsbys.....Got six geetars with P-90s now; more to come. Well I'm thinking for my LP Studio, I want to put a P90 in the neck http://www.bg-pups.com Other companies make real P-90s that are direct drop ins as well.................

Yeah... I knew about the P94... Since he brought up routing the humbucker body for P90s I thought it might be possible for me to get the standard P90 size in my guitar They also make Phat Cats, but they sound different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG FAN Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Mini hum mounting rings might fit, but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Mini humbuckers will fit a guitar routed for p90s not a full sized humbucker. Is $800 street price or MSRP? It looks cool but there's no way I'd pay $800 for that. I don't think I even paid $800 for my Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 The whole mini-humbucker and ring fit inside a p90 route. The mini humbucker itself is smaller than a p90. A p90 wil not fit into a mini humbucker ring nor would a mini humbucker ring fit Fred's guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought, then I forgot your name was SG fan, and the mention of batwing pickguard told me to give up. I will probably go with the P94, but I hate the way they look. I'll get over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks cool but there's no way I'd pay $800 for that. I don't think I even paid $800 for my Standard. There is no way that's list. I'm guessing list is $1299. IMO, $800 is a steal for that guitar. I'll be getting one in natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 To me, those faded guitars just seem incomplete. My main gripe is the feel of the open grain. And of course I just don't think they look nearly as good as a regular gloss finish. Pretty much just my personal opinion. For that price, I'd rather buy a used Standard or gloss Special and throw some p90s in it. I don't think it's a huge rip off... But I definately wouldn't call it a steal. The natural finish looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69 Son Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I had pics sent to me of one in Natural. Swear to heaven that body was 3-4 all assymetric pieces. Not pretty Gibson. My enthusiasm is waning :( In good news I picked up an '89 SG Special (odd bird) for $250 at local pawn shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I like the white one a lot but I am not crazy about faded finishes, If Gibson offered this model in a gloss or at least a SG Special or Classic equivalent level I would buy it no doubt.
