I'm replacing the Gibson P-100's in an LP Studio. I can't decide between the Hot or Customs. I'm a little worried that the tone curve on the Hot P-90's will give me oo much mud on the Paul. I might play rock, blues or maybe jazz on this axe. Should I go with the Custom's and turn the treble tone down for a fatter blues tone (or way down for jazz!) Or, should I go w/ the Hot P-90 and turn up the treble on the amp for a little more slice....

Hot or Custom P-90's?

Re: Hot or Custom P-90's?
Custom bridge, Vintage neck. That's been in my main guitar for quite a while now ('90 LP TV Special). Actually the Custom bridge is about 15 years old now. Great pup, one of the best. Grizzly and fairly fat with a ton of midrange, really brings out the grind of a P-90. I liked the Custom neck but I really prefer the Vintage so far. I've yet to try a Hot though maybe that would be a little better balance than the Vintage.My Bands -

Re: Hot or Custom P-90's?
That's what I wanted to do with my goldtop... The neck sounds superb (might keep it in there) but the bridge is thin and doesn't have enough output (overpowered by the neck) so I was thinking "hot" bridge "vintage" neck (if neck is replaced)...Thanks for the input Wattage!

Re: Hot or Custom P-90's?
Wasn't the hot combo (the one in PRS's soapbars), a Custom neck pup in the bridge and a vintage neck in the neck? or something like that?Fender Twin w/ Weber Speakers, keeley ts-9, RMC2 wah, EB MusicMan Axis Sport w/ p-90's, Heritage Les Paul (HC150) Custom Order w/ AIIpro/Custom shop bridge, various accoustics

Re: Hot or Custom P-90's?
The Fender Custom Shop Tele Jr apparently shipped with an SD Hot neck and Custom bridge, and it sounds real nice. As noted already, the PRS apparently shipped with a Vintage neck at the neck and a Custom neck at the bridge, and it sounds great, too. So, it appears that mixing it up is all the rage with these P90s.

Re: Hot or Custom P-90's?
Thanks for the P-100 refund offer. I'll definitely take you up on that! Also, a question: Is there any polarity/phase issue with the Hot Neck n / Custom Neck b Combo? DO you have to swap wires or flip the bridge pickup or anything?Originally posted by Bad City
