Mounting Duncan P90’s in Tom Anderson ?

[jamme61]

How do I mount the Duncan’s to the pick guard on the Anderson? I think the body’s to thin to take the screws and the Anderson p90’s are same size but mounting is to pick guard not screwed to body. Thxs any help

Which specific model do you have?

Are you mounting soapbar or dog-ear P-90s?

Soapbar

i dont think ive seen that before so im not sure. soapbars usually have two screws to the body, sounds like the andersons have a different design

Tried to post a picture - didn’t work- the Anderson soap bars attach to the pickgaurd with three screws

Looks to me like they use some sort of separate bracket. They bolt the P90 to the bracket with the normal 2 mounting screws and then they attach the bracket to the pickguard.

Contact Anderson Guitarworks and ask them about the bracket.

You could also try a dogear baseplate. They have the side screw mounts.

yeah, looks like they are using the two normal p90 mounting screws/holes to mount to the bracket. if thats the case, you should be able to swap pups pretty easily as long as the spacing is the same

not sure yet - the guitar came with noiseless PH series pickups - (bought guitar used) Im switching to the PQ series- which is still andersons noiseless but soapbar style pickup - If I don't like these, i'd like to try some non noiseless p90's - I don't play with a lot of gain so, I don't need noiseless - and I'd like more variety with what pickups I can put in the guitar. Thanks for the time and help on this stuff.
