rmnc Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Has anyone ever seen open coil mini humbuckers, be it either the Les Paul or Firebird type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobB Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Have never heard of a stock mini hum being built without a cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 That's because a mini humbucker without a cover would fall apart. It's the cover that holds it all together. The closest you would be able to get without some serous reworking would be to make an open top cover like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a Les Paul style mini, as I haven't seen a Firebird mini with pole pieces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a mini. It's a BurstBucker out of a Custom Shop SG. I could make a FireBird style mini HB with an open top though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSAR Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Yeah, Warmoth used to sell them, but they don't seem to have anything RioGrande anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnc Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 The Rio Grande is a Les Paul style mini right? Also, would you be able to remove the P-90 style pickup ring and install it in the usual metal Firebird rings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
