It is easy and pretty standard for most all P-90s FYI they come from the factory like that std. The screws go thru the housing and into the wood inside the PU cavity.
My P90s all have short springs that would work fine with the SD pickups. They go right around the mounting screws. I came close to popping for one of the SD Super Distortion pickups for the SG in my avatar.

Either,or both very DIY and within most folks grasp.
Indeed! I figured I’d be working with foam, or rubber tubing scraps, until I pulled the factory P90s the first time…and the little springs went flipping around to stick to the pickup magnets.

I have had factory foam AND springs at the same time before.
Would definitely be a benefit for some of us “heavy handed” players. Next time I pull the pickups on my avatar SG, I may add some foam.

They don't wiggle about with the foam it seems like.
My only issue has been an occasional thump from a pickup on that guitar, if I hit either of them just right. It’s rare, but has happened.

The mini-humbuckers will have one of these plates under it. I made the mistake of having it upside down for the photo. The outside two threaded holes are for mini-humbuckers, and the two middle threaded holes are to mount P-90s. I did just check, and the holes do line up. SO, if you have this plate, then you do not need to do anything else.

The only concern here is the Dimarzio "p-90" size Super distortions have the mounting screws on the outside so I dunno if the plate would work? But they certainly will fit the routes with springs/foam.

My thoughts completely. Yep no slowing the mojo on this one!! Let the sweating begin!
The modern P90 factory Gibson brackets will accommodate either. The ones in the 73?…..I’m not sure.

The one in my previous post is a '78 pickup.
I only know because I have them…the modern P90 brackets. They can be found for purchase readily though…
These would work, but he’s probably got pretty close to those in there now…

and @SG John posted while I was finding a link…the Deluxe is probably good to go.

It all helps, thanks. For now I try the high output mini HB I have coming.
