I've been deciding between a Les Paul with P90s, this one, and the Squier Strat-o-Sonic. Then I think I've got plenty of guitars and should just drop one of the humbucker sized P90s in one of the fat strats. Then I give up.
I hope you're loving it! Play it for me!
I will I will :) thanks
dropping the p90 in a strat might be an intriguing idea tho
Absolutely. That's why I like the idea behind the Strat-o-Sonic so much. I've got an extra fat strat running around and for about $80 I could at least give it a shot for a while.
I would, is it easy to do the work? I never tried
It's not difficult if you can solder. I've replaced several pickups over the years. But I've got a hundred other projects. So it never made it to the top.
I have a cheap Ibanez GAX30 where I'd like to try different pickups, maybe I'll get some soldering practice then I try
Oh, highly recommended! I didn't realize you were asking for yourself. If I'm looking at it right you're probably looking at a couple of hours work for your first time (that includes time rewatching a video of someone else doing it to make sure you've got it right). Someone that's done it a few times could probably knock it out in under half an hour if they don't want to change the strings. I'm pretty careful with my work so the last time I did a swap it probably took me 45 minutes from grabbing my tool bag to tightening the strings back up.
thanks, inspiring
