Drew's ES-5V first (ish) build

Sadly excess expenditure is off the cards at the moment whilst I'm still in job limbo. I guess I was wondering if I should be looking at a glue with a bit of inherent flexibility or something that sets rigid.
Or will it make no difference either way?

I'd probably use some epoxy, though I'm not sure how well that would stick to the plastic cover. Obviously the original glue didn't stick that well! So definitely rough up the underside. But you may find a silicone glue works better.

Cheers as always Simon.

Oh Bugger! (Note to self, “Don’t drop my guitars.”).
I’m rather happy with the stock pickup, I’d also be trying to glue it back together.

Yep, fortunately everything else seems to have survived ok.
First I need to put my motorbike back together but I might get chance to fix it tomorrow.

Commiserations. I (once upon a time) crashed my motorcycle on the way home from a gig with my saxophone on board.

Good luck with it.

cheers, Mark.

FYI, the GFS p90s are inexpensive and quite nice. I have a vintage dogear in my LP JR build.

Some of them aren’t P90s, they are ST style single coils in a P90 housing (Dream90s).

Fender did the same with their Japanese Jazzmasters - Strat style coil under a big Jazzmaster pickup cover.

I have a spare PBG black dog ear P90 from my AGJR-1 that I would be happy to give you as a replacement.

Unfortunately, I am in Australia.
