Hi

I have a genuine Fender Squire Telecaster custom fitted with the short shaft 3 way toggle switch, 2 chrome and wax packed humbuckers with one earth and one active wire only, and then, of course, two volume and two tone pots and an output jack. I would like to know if P90's will just drop into this guitar or would I have to modify the scratch guard to accommodate the P90's I don't know if they are larger than the current chrome humbuckers.

Any help would be very much appreciated. In Australia we dont have much as far as spare parts stores go, my guitar tech has to order from either the United Kingdom or USA which we normally buy from Guitar Fetish but a lot of gear from GFT seems to be of cheap quality if anyone knows of any other stores that I can buy guitar spare parts and ship them back to Australia could you please send me an email at csimic23@gmail.com thanks for all of your advice in advance. Best wishes Michael -Thornton - NSW Australia

P90s are not as "wide" (neck to bridge), but they are "longer" (across the strings

I'm not sure if this is a humbucker guitar modded for a P90, or an LP JR that originally came with P90s that someone routed for a humbucker, but it gives you an idea of the difference...
The Fender Jazzmaster soap-bar pickups are different still
