Thread: Single Pick Up Kits

  1. #1

    Single Pick Up Kits

    I have a Di Marzio Paf 36th Anniversary sitting in my parts bin doing nothing, left over from my first build when they sent me a bridge instead of a neck PU.

    Looking at the site, unless I'm missing something, which is very possible, all the single PU kits look like they are routed for a P90. Never used or had a guitar with one of those, can anyone tell me if it would take a humbucker with a bit of tweaking or are the dimensions too different to make it work. Looking at the JRM1-DC in particular.

    Cheers

    You would need to alter the pickup rout. P90s are slightly longer and narrower than standard PAF-style humbuckers.
    Current:
    GTH-1

    Completed:
    AST-1FB
    First Act ME276 (resurrected curb-side find)
    ES-5V
    Scratchie lapsteel
    Custom ST-1 12 String
    JBA-4
    TL-1TB
    Scratch Lapsteel
    Meinl DIY Cajon
    Cigar Box lap steel

    Wishing:
    Baritone
    Open D/Standard Double 6 twin neck

    it depends on if it was routed for a dog ear or soapbar I think.. I have put humbuckers in : LPJnr ( mini-humbucker), DM-1 and a custom RD-1 all routed for dog ear P90's. On the RD it's VERY close but I was using a smaller than usual mounting ring.

    You can always do a custom order to be sure
