NGD!! ...finally got my P90 LP!

[Thatbastarddon]

Thanks guys, I'm loving the neck profile and it's been a blast to play P90s again!

I'm not sure these stock P90s are going to make the cut though, The bridge pickup is not bad, but it has to jacked way up to almost touching the strings to sound good and I'm not really liking that.

I have a few P90s laying around, time for some experimenting.

…and so it begins…

…and so it begins…

I've never owned a guitar I didn't swap pickups in so why would this one be any different. Only once have I ever ended up with the stock pickups back in it and that was my 2021 Tribute with the 490s.

Haha! Only took 2 pickup swaps to find my bridge pickup! First I tried an SD Vintage P90 and while it was better it wasn't what I was looking for. Then I found my SD Custom P90. I did a search and found my old posts where I was talking about how great it was and how it was the best P90 I had tried and how it didn't sound like it has ceramic magnets in it so I went ahead and put it in. It's an amazing pickup, roll off the volume knob and it cleans up really nice, but reacts very well to pick attack to get some hair on top, roll up the volume knob and it eats humbuckers for breakfast...hell yeah, that's the stuff!!

I don't remember who it was that recommended it to me, but thank you again 5 years later!

Now on to the neck pickup, but not tonight.

I remember years ago “Alvis” talking about the 1/4 pounder but that’s a different pickup.
