Re: Seymour Duncan P90-sized humbuckers
I've heard that mini-humbuckers (SM-1, SM-2, SM-3) will fit in P90 sized holes with the mini-humbucker mounting rings for LP deluxe's. Haven't measured it though.
And of course, DiMarzio makes a few P90 sized humbuckers in addition to their minis.

Re: Seymour Duncan P90-sized humbuckers
iirc, evan once said that sd's next project after fitting a p-90 in a humbucker cover (phat cats) is having a bucker in a p-90 housing. i am not sure if he meant it as a custom shop model or it will be available commercially, but these are listed under custom shop on the duncan website. maybe evan can shed some light on this.

No need to measure, it's true. The LP Deluxe was designed as a replacement for P90-equipped LP's so rather than make a brand new routing pattern or template, they designed the mini-hum ring so the mini-hum could be a direct replacement on a P90 LP.
Some LP lovers buy Deluxes and replace the mini-hums with P90's.

Re: Seymour Duncan P90-sized humbuckers
Cool. In that case the rio grande minibucker (bottom of the page of buckers) might be a good pick for P-90 sized HB.
Do you know how the mini humbuckers mount to the body? Is it just the screw on either end? And does that mean they are not height adjustable?

it shoudl be mentioned that the Rio Grande Baby Buckers that are made to reto fit in a P-90 rout requier a deeper route that P-90...you will have to make the hole about 3/8 of an inch deeper...doing this will make it hard to put P-90 or any other Mini bucker back in the guitar!
