Did there used to be a p90 version of the LP-1/1M? I thought i remembered seeing one ages ago.
Would love to do a gold top or black top LP for my next build. It may just be best to ask Adam for a special order but thought I would see if anyone else would be keen for these to be available.
Man, I reckon I've looked at every axe in the gallery on this forum and don't recall ever seeing an LP setup for direct mount soapbars. If you're going a solid top (as suggested) I guess you could always fill the pup cavity to the correct size. There's no reason that Adam couldn't custom order one, but at the end of the day it's a simple case of pay more money or put in a bit of extra time and effort, I know which I'd choose.
painted body? Easy - fill and re rout
Or order non routed body - easier to send you one of those than a P90 rout I think
Ah I hadn't thought of just adding a shim to fit the pup. I thought I would have to fill the whole cavity and rout a new one, which would mean buying a router and bits. Thanks for the idea barge!
Stan: Unfortunately don't have the funds for a router (uni student). I tend to just hint strongly around christmas and birthdays that a guitar kit is the way to go. Maybe I should start hinting at a router...
Go and do it man, build that blacktop in the pic. That would be one sick axe!!!Quote:

Having never used a Dremmel router I couldn't comment, I don't think I've ever seen someone routing pup cavities with one.
Fair call barge. I might just be best off adding and shaping a shim to fit the pups as you suggessted. Cheers for the idea! Now I've just gotta get the kit...
Gavin's Gold Top replica may give you some inspiration, although not a PBG kit.

Gav T?! Haha my current build is inspired by his seafoam tele. He'll think I'm copying all his kits!
Is the thread just in Non-pitbull gear?
crundes you could get a standard LP-1M and buy some Tonerider Rebel 90's, they are P90 pickups in a humbucker form factor!
Cheers for the idea pest (can I call you that? Seems to be the done thing). I did think about some humbucker casings for the P90's but I really like the look of them too. Certainly a good option if I feel unsure about filling the cavity to P90 size.
I think pup cavities , even drilled out, would be hard work for a dremmel. They are great and spin fast, but dont have heaps of torque.
I think if you look around on the interweb you can also get humbucker sized pup rings with P90 holes in them - but you would still have to take a little out of the ends of the cavities
No not me dude, the Gav with a clue! :). But yes I would like a p90 LP option as well. Would love to do a gold top myself. I've extended P90 cavities to HB before but not a conversion the other way around. getting them pre-routed from the factory is the cleanest solution IMO.
cheers,
Gav.
Ha ha Gav you're too modest! From what I can tell you definitely have a clue what you're doing unless you just fluked every single one of your lovely builds... Re: P90's I think you may be right with ordering a custom routed one. Will have to see what extra costs are involved etc and weigh up which option will suit my skill level, available tools and budget.
