MichaelSoto Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Anyone ever done this or know if it's possible? Obviously the hole would need to be enlarged, but I'm just looking for any more info on if it's a possibility or not, and if so, how did it turn out. Can't seem to find much info online. Thanks!

sgtb2000 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hi What kind of guitar are you working on and which mini's are in it, alnico or ceramic, this would determine if its worth it or not, or it is just cosmetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epiphone Riviera with NY Mini's, looking to swap with Gibson Classic 57's. I'm interested in those new Sheraton Reissue's too, and they come with Mini's. I have another Riviera with stock humbuckers, and I love the tone, so I would imagine the 57's would sound killer. I do like the look of full sized over mini's too.

I do like the look of full sized over mini's too. The Rivieras with mini-hums are in demand, and they're no longer being made, so I would think you'd come out ahead to sell the Riviera with minis and buy a Riviera (or Sheraton) with full-size humbuckers. Then if you felt the pickups still needed swapping you wouldn't have to do any further routing to the guitar, just a straight swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweed2 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 If you decide to just swap what you've got, keep me in mind. I'm looking for a set of mini hums for a project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtb2000 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I wouldn't rout the body either, I would sell or trade it for one with full size in it already n then do the swap if needed. They will be as rare as my 65 firebird with the mini's in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
