  • Who Makes A P-90 Size Humbucker That Will Retrofit Into A P-90 Size Route?

    Title pretty much says it all: What (if any maker) produces a P-90 footprint/size humbucking pickup that will fit directly into a P-90 size route?

    Looking specifically for a pickup that would fit in a LP Special type guitar.

    Anyone make such a pickup?

    Thanks

      The Seymour Duncan Custom Shop has been creating custom guitar pickups since 1976. If you dream it, we can build it.


      I'm pretty sure DiMarzio and a few other companies make them also

          Yes, the Custom Shop does it, and you can voice it any way you want, since it is a Custom Shop pickup. Want a SLUG P90 or Dimebucker P90? They can do it!

            EMG do active and passive humbucking P90 replacements. But SD Custom Shop is a pretty cool option. P-90JB,P90SNS

              For something a bit different, TV Jones also offers pickups in the P90 form factor.

                DiMarzio has a nice selection of P90 looking humbuckers

                Rio Grande has a bunch in both Dog ear or Soap bar form factors. I have a Baby BBQ mini bucker in my junior style PRS SE.

                  How do you like the BabyBBQ? Is it as beefy as Rio says? Tight feel or loose?
                  And how do you attach that mounting ring to the guitar?

                  I have a full size TX/BBQ set in a McNaught and I like them a lot. Some have said they found 'em mushy in certain guitars but in this one they're just right, firm enough without being at all stiff. I think David's unique "set-through" construction probably has something to do with that - it's a superlong tenon that extends underneath the maple cap almost as far as the bridge. Brilliant design - gives a touch of neck-through rigidity while still allowing the neck to come alive at volume.
                  .

                      I like it, pretty sure it's a little lower output than the full size BBQ, but it works well for me. I wouldn't call it too tight, definitely feels similar enough to all my A2 based pickups for me to be happy. I've gone back to the Lollars in my Kauer Banshee, but it sounded great in there too.

                          Thanks. I have a regular Babybucker that I might finally get around to installing.
                          I think it's a step below the Baby BBQ in output - at the time Rio wasn't making the BBQ mini yet.
                          Already have a ring like that, just wasn't sure how to mount it.

                            This. Mini humbuckers were developed to solve this exact issue. I figured everybody knew that just like they know everything about every other pickup lol

                            Or to put it another way...ive been playing for a year and I know this so I figured it'd be common knowledge amongst the people with more experience than me since I already know it this early into my guitar playing <shrug>
