GregP Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 So I'm rather sick of my apartment. It's littered with EMI. My favourite guitar is a humble Godin LG with P90's. Which is problematic for obvious reasons. I know you can get a Gibson P100 or other 3rd party (I think SD makes one) stacked P90 replacements. So those are 2 that I'm aware of. Does anybody know of other alternatives? Is there such thing as the "Lace Sensor" of P90s? Are there active soapbar pickups that are drop-in replacements? Seems to be a fairly underdeveloped market, but possibly because P90 lovers are even more sold on the importance of retaining the original engineering (a real single-coil) than even strat- and tele- lovers.

Robert_the_damned Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 there are lace sensor P90's and EMG P90 sized pickups though those are just the standard EMG humbuckers in a differant package. The Dimarzio Virtual P90 is ment to be a very good reproduction of the p90 tone but is a humbucker. As you said SD does a stacked coil version of the p90 though I think its slightly taller. I think that's it as far as the major manufacurers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted November 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Sheesh, I was so sure that Lace didn't make one themselves that I didn't even search. <whacks forehead> Thanks for that, Robert. I hate my apartment... Now to see if I can find reasonable pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_the_damned Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) good luck finding some! There's a place here in the UK selling them for ok prices (£39 each) but they don't ship to the US for some reason Edited November 25, 2006 by Robert_the_damned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted November 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Maybe they ship to Canada. Found some retailers selling them for $70-79 USD. Not bad. I could always start with the neck version since I rarely use bridge anyhow. Maybe do what one guy did (from a review I stumbled across in my search) and put a P-90 form-factor humbucker into the bridge. I like humbucker bridge...
