RIght, I modded my 'fake' Tele a few weeks back and put a P90 in the neck position.

Image

The pup fits quite nicely in the rout but obviously not perfectly and moves around a little.

I know I can get a scratchplate with a P90 cut out but I was wondering if I can get a small pick up surround like the ones for humbuckers.........

I quite like the look of the guitar without the pickguard.

Any suggestions or will I have to make one?

mmmmmm it would seem that these spacers won't do the job.... :roll:

I've heard that P90s are the same size as minihumbuckers........is that true?

I can find a few pickup surrounds/rings/spacers for these and wonder if they will fit......

Cheers

Sorry to bump this one but I am starting to get annoyed at the guitar and just want to exhaust the possibilites of getting a ring for the P90 before I give in and just go buy a pickguard for it.........

I have a LP deluxe and as far as I know the minibuckers are the same width as humbuckers. Why will the P90 spacers not work?

THey are for sitting under the P90 with dog ears to raise it closer to the strings so the wouldn't actually fit around the pickup. :(

ooooooh........isthere a rout for that?

ALso, they look like they are not as deep as my soapbar...........do they just cover a bit of the top of the pickup...............is that the regular size of dogear covers?.....

That might work............... :shock: :? :D

This is not mine, here's the site for it:

http://www.apolloguitars.ca/K030722.html

It seems the body was not routed on the body picture, but the picture of the finish guitar clearly shows the guy routed so the ears are flush with the top of the guitar.

Problem is, it's not reversible.
