Lollar Staple P90?

What noise gate are you using?

Now…TC electronics “The Sentry”. Plays well with the finicky pedals, fuzz, wah, treble booster etc. Transparent.
Have also enjoyed the venerable Boss NS2 over many years. Some of the finicky pedals need to be placed carefully for best results. It has a sound/feel.
Also tried the EHX Silencer. Not at all what I wanted. If you ever wanna try it, let me know.

I meant to say something earlier and I forgot. The Phat cat isn't an option, it has to be a soapbar P90 for my Classic.

Got ya, My experience with soap bars has always led to what Gibson made always seemed to work best vs all the others have tried

Ok I ordered one. I figure if I don't like it in the LP I'll put it in the neck of my Tele. I bet it sounds great there, if I like it in the LP I might get one for my Tele anyway.

Congratulations - I bet the Lollar will be great.

No personal experience with that one, but I have a Duncan staple (from the Custom Shop) at the neck in one LPC and it sounds great. Adjustable poles too, not that it makes a whole lot of difference on this type.

I already got this pickup. It came 2 day air, I didn't choose that, but it is on my receipt so I guess I wasn't paying attention and it defaulted back to it when I updated my account with my new address in the middle of placing my order. Oh well.

So...I've been working with it all afternoon and I have to say...I don't like it.

...actually that's not true, I do like it on it's own, but I'm not liking it paired with the Custom P90 in the bridge. Plus it's not noise cancelling in the middle. I liked the regular Lollar neck P90 a lot more in this guitar once I got it dialed in and it is noise cancelling in the middle position with my SD bridge so I'm going to go back to it.

I'll be putting the staple in my Tele, like I kind of expected might happen when I ordered it. It's a sweet pickup and I think it'll be great in there. I wouldn't have ordered it without that backup plan.

I'll let you know how that goes when I do it. I have to find my P90 pickguard first. I know I have one, but I haven't seen it in years. lol.
