Looks like a DIY job. What you are looking for are P90s with a batwing mount. These P90s were made from Gibson for their SGs with a so called batwing scratchplate. These P90s have different baseplate.

Some seller on Squeebay has some for $15, I think....

You just need to install dog-ear baseplates on soapbar pickups. That's the way Gibson did it to hang P90s from guards.

Alternately, with a saw, a drill, a tap, and some solder, you can just buy some metal sheet stock and make your own adapter.

I like this way better.

Easy adjustment like a strat.

Great... & where can one find these 'dog-ear baseplates? Are those the things I saw on SteMac.com? They look like the right thing but the ears dont have threaded holes....only what appear to be unthreaded slots. Thanks all~~

6/32 + 8/32 Taps are Cheap

Interesting that you point that out, because it's a new development. I used to buy them from Mojo and various other places, and they had holes, not slots (as did Gibson factory P90 dogears on two of my Juniors).

I would buy two of the slotted ones, and add some brass shim stock using solder. Then drill and tap.

Or, as I mentioned before, you just get a soap bar, and fabricate a strip from sheet stock or bar stock.
