solesko7 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 i have the gibson SG with p-90's and want to replace them with the Angus Young bridge and the classic 57 neck. First off can this be done, and if so, any suggestions on how to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adlankj Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 It's possible, but you'll have to have the pick-up slots cut to make them bigger, as humbuckers are larger than P-90s. And I'm fairly certain they're wired alot differently as well. You're better off with Mini-Humbuckers which are designed to fit the P-90 slot. I reccommend these.

solesko7 Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 are you talking about the pickgard slots bigger, if so i could just buy a new pickgard right? Im fairly new to this so sorry if i am asking stupid questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Martin Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 No, in addition to the pickguard you'd probably have to route out the body to accommodate the size change. You really want to start taking chunks of wood out of your guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adlankj Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 No, I'm talking about the pick-up cavity. The hole in the body where the pick-ups go. But yeah, you'll have to use a router to make the cavities bigger, which, unless you're having a professional do it, is risky business. Again, Mini-Humbuckers. But why do you want to get rid of your P-90s anyway? Great pick-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Singh Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Resurrecting an old thread here. Is this possible the other way round? I can't find an SG Classic anywhere. So I was thinking of buying an SG Standard and replacing the humbuckers with the same P90s. Any light shed on this problem would be great. Nice one.
