  • Size of P90

    I just got a new job which usually means that I buy more guitars. I'm thinking about getting something without a trem. One thing that caught my eye was Gibson's Les Paul DC's. I found a cheap one on the net, but it has p90's in it. I need a big humbuckertone. Are P90's the same size as humbuckers?

    No, they're smaller. You can get P90-sized humbuckers, though. Check out DiMarzio's site for P90/Soapbar pickups. http://www.dimarzio.com/site/#/pickups/

      SD also makes several P90 sized pickups...

      Plus, while stock ones are not humbuckers, P90's definitely deliver a BIG tone, as seen in this Les Paul Junior demo...

          You need to talk to SULLY on the P90's I know he put some in a Les paul when he was fixing it and refinishing it. Sully did an awsome job with that guitar.

            Those were P-Rails... they're regular humbucker-sized pickups.
