    Good for you. And I do mean that.

    And good luck with the new guitar!

    As I have some spare Jazzmaster pickup covers, here's the difference between a Jazzmaster pickup and a P90. They do take up a fair bit of real estate! They also have external fixing lugs, like a Jazz Bass pickup, which means that they aren't really suitable for trying to retrofit to a humbucker routed guitar where the neck humbucker is right against the end of the neck. But Dedman's guitar body is fine for these.

    Do they sound like P90's or more like a humbucker?

    Slightly less of a midrange hump than a normal P90 has, but pokier than a Strat pickup. The fact that a P90 has bar magnets underneath the coil and steel screw polepiece slugs gives a lower resonant peak for the pickup than the Jazzmaster's Alnico V pole-piece arrangement does. Also, the JM pickups have a thinner, wider coil than a P90 does, which will change the sound as well.

    In my picture with the P90 and JM cover plate in, the pickups in the Les Paul Melody Maker shown are actually Gibsons 'P90S' pickups, with Alnico V polepieces, so they do sound more like a JM pickup than a normal P90. You should be able to see thet there are no height adjustable slug screws. The LP MM is a very slim guitar, so allegedly hasn't quite got the body depth for full P90s (though it still is mahogany with a maple cap), so by using magnetic polepieces, they saved about 4mm of magnet and securing plate in the depth of the unit.
