The next time

you run across one of those down-market LPs with cheap tuners and a cheap, non-adjustable tailpiece, you let me know. And I won't mind road rash. :D

Sorry for the late reply. I have not compared them. Wish I could be more help.

So why not just sell it and buy the SG with P-90s?

Or are you one of these guys that has to have them both on the same guitar? :rolleyes:

:confused:

Why don't you just sell your car and buy one with the tires you want already on it?


:rolleyes:
 
What about Fralins?

Does anybody have any experience with Lindy Fralin split-single pickups, such as his P-92 or Twangmaster? I'm toying with the idea of swapping split-singles in place of the 'buckers, on my Ibanez Artcore AG75TBS, or I might let myself have a G.A.S. "attack" and buy an Epiphone WildKat, which already has P-90s. For my original surf guitar instrumentals, I've found my personal surf guitar "voice" with my two P-90 equipped Les Pauls...Epiphone Les Paul Jr. 90 and Gibson Les Paul Faded Double Cutaway. Here's a link to the web page describing Lindy Fralin's humbucker products, which includes the two split-single models that I've already mentioned...

Is it just me, or does everyone have the question backwards?It sounds to me like he has p90s and wants a full sized HB.
My wife bought me a Gibson LP Special a few years ago.It came with p100s(a stacked, humbucking version of the p90.)Being the superficial motherfucker that I am, I hated the soapbar look.I swapped out the p100s with a set of allparts minihumbuckers.I love the sound, bigtime!
To answer the original question, as I understand it, you can't swap out p90s for a full humbucker without routing.The cavity is a little too small.
If I have it all wrong, blame the beer and percocet! :)
 
The P90's are both longer and not as wide as humbuckers, so that's not a routing job for the faint hearted.

I just put a pair of P94's into a SG clone that I have and they sound awesome. They're humbucker shaped. Worth checking out.
