You could ask Dean why they didn't do it, I suppose.Why not a dummy coil?
A good stacked or sidewinder humbucker shaped and voiced like a P-90 is easier and cheaper.
Of course, I'm of the opinion that single coil hum is a last century problem and we shouldn't have to deal with it in this day and age.
We have so many options today there is no excuse for it.

Well, Gibson tried it with the P100 and failed miserably...Quiet? Yes, but not very P90.Originally posted by ICTGoober View PostOriginally posted by Bad City

Gibson's version was terrible. SD's version does that much better.Administrator of the SDUGFComment

Lindy Fralin's are even better than Seymour's. I also like Trev Wilkinson's quiet P-90, and the Fluence P-90 made for Greg Koch is terrific.aka Chris Pile, formerly of Six String FeverComment

Listen to this clip loud. Obvious the gain is aimed. How much noise do you hear? Other than taps on the guitar?

I'm saying with rectifier on 11, I'm not hearing an obnoxious hum. Some gain his....yes.Originally posted by ICTGoober View Post
Again, if you are someone who can't focus on the music over the noise, you just need to get hum buckers and get over singles/P90's.Originally posted by Bad City

Many of my clients do studio work, they cannot have single coil hum.
As for live playing in clubs and arenas - it's a "dirty" sound environment and it's never going to be concert hall quality. You assume a certain amount of noise will be swallowed up by the building and the crowd.
And as for my Dean Leslie West - the hum is obnoxious through any of my amps - Marshall, Fender, Roland. It's not just because P-90s are noisy, but it's cheap Asian P-90's that really buzz. Doesn't matter if the channel is clean, crunchy, or overdriven to JP levels. The Dean deserves a quiet pickup, and I'll install one someday. Mostly I play my Cadillac - which incidentally, is one of the few instruments I own that is completely stock. I found no need to upgrade anything - it just works.Last edited by ICTGoober; 10-01-2021, 09:53 AM.aka Chris Pile, formerly of Six String FeverComment

WSM also makes guitars for Indio, J&D Guitars(in-house brand at The Music Store in Germany) as well as some models for Dean. Pretty certain they're a part of Yeou Chern Musical Instruments, as well.
Why wouldn't you bother getting more specific? 'Asia' could be any of hundreds or thousands of manufacturers. Sorry. That don't fly with me. At that rate, you might as well just make something up. It'd be just as correct as 'Asia' <shrug>Last edited by Wound_Up; 01-06-2022, 04:38 AM.JC

It turned out to be World Sound Music. Aka WSM. I emailed them and they confirmed that's their serial number and they mfg'd any guitar with a WSMxxxxxx.xxxx serial.Originally posted by Masta' C View Post

I also found import documents from Indio(Monoprice.com), who sells my guitar. Their documentation said it was Yeou Chern Instruments, which I believe WSM is part of.
You can, see part of that documentation in the link below

Why can't I post pics? I get a 503 error every time I post a pic or even a smiley? Is the forum jacked up?

What does knowing where it came from do for you in the end?Originally posted by Wound_Up View Post
It's a good guitar or a bad guitar. What if they made it at my Mom's house? Does that change how well it was or was was not made?
Explain why you WOULD get that specific. Mind open for reasoning...
Can't be resale value, because it's a Dean.Last edited by Aceman; 01-06-2022, 10:09 AM.Originally posted by Bad City
