Holmis Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 As the title say, can someone tell me if a 1993 LP special was originally equipped with p90s or p100s? I have a hunch on one for a quite nice price but don´t like the p100 so much. The seller couldn´t tell so i ask you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they shouldn't hum as P-90s would. Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I believe, but not sure, that ALL in '93 were P-100's, as there was a period that Gibson was not making P-90's. I can check something a little later and give a better answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 OK- That whole run of Specails from '89 to '96 will be the dreaded P-hundy's. However, while I don't have time for much details, THESE specials are special- as in, aside from the pups, they are great guitars that are different from the ones made after '96...closer to origonal spec. No Gibson's with P-90s in '93, and they don't appear again until '96. So, unless the pups have been changed, they be paper-wieghts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmis Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Ok, thanks, p100s could be changed, i believe the routing will allow p90s without any tinkering :-) But another question comes up when you tell me that the before ´96 is closer to the originals, in what way(s)? I can see from the pics that it have a shiny lacquer but what are the actual differences besides that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
