Hi I have a fender modern players mustang with the stock mp-90 pickups, I want to change the bridge pickup to a dimarzio dp-100 can this guitar take that kind d of upgrade as the pickups seem to screw in way differently?

The (M)P90 dimensions are different from a humbucker, so you need to check if the DP100 will fit the Modern Player body routing. You also need a new pickguard; I think a Hum/P90 combo would translate to a custom made.

Different screw patterns/screw-in systems are 'just another fitting issue to be solved while working with the pup change', IMHO. :wink:

I'd say it's not a bad idea to use a pro - a consult session with price estimates and time frames (that pickguard...) would be wise.

Thank you that's probably what I'll have to do, the pickup looks like it would already fit as the (m) p-90 are fat pickups but I could be wrong, but I don't think they have Pickguard like that set, and I would find it hard as fender has quit making fender mustangs like they used to but thank you so much for the help
