P90s

[thelady]

HYe, can you replace normal humbuckers, with dog ear p90s or regular p90s thank you

No, you would need a P-94, or a special p-90 made into a size of a normal humbucker.

A normal p-90 would require re-routing on the cavity hole that was made for a humbucker.

Also many other company's besides Gibson make humbucker sized P-90's.

Heres a link to the Gibson P-94.

Depends on the guitar.

 

For example, the 67 style flying V is routed to take both, just get a custom cut pickguard for the P90's. Here's a faded V that I hot rodded by stripping the finish and adding a black pickguard and cream pickups to, etc. Then I got board and ordered a new pickguard off ebay and dropped the P90's in - no other mods were needed. Don't see many like this around.

p-94s would work, but several other companys sell h-bucker sized p-90s too......guitar fetish sells some good ones (dream/mean 90s I think)at a nice price.

g/f also sells "dream 180s" in soapbar OR 'bucker size that sound like a cross between a p-90 and a vintage Filtertron p'up, and are totally hum-free. I have a set in my gold-top that I absolutely LOVE!

 

or, there are parts retailers (allparts,wd music,guitar fetish to name a few) that also sell adapter rings/kits that allow soapbar style p-90s to be used without pickguard swaps or mods.
