Thanks on that update mesadude, are they behaving like normal humbuckers? or not quite there but pretty damn good enough?

I think these are a great option for replacing traditional P-90 with humbucker without re-routing a guitar... that's what they sell them for but do they deliver, and how far are they form the P-90 sound?

I'd expect them to sound like humbuckers... only in a smaller housing.

Great news!

I'm currently saving for a P-90 guitar and was thinking of buying the DLX if I don't like the P-90 in the long run since I'm used to humbuckers, and been using DiMarzio for more than 5 yrs...

I now know that the option would work. Less of a risky deal to buy that guitar

Thanks for this reply!

Hi Laroosco, I was the oposite I have used Humbuckers most of the 25 years I have been playing. My Latest Humbucker guitar is my PRS McCarty.... But recently I picked up a American Fat Strat Texas Special and that guitar sounds great, playing through Single coils seems to have more soul than Humbuckers and i'm really digging that tone now so right now my strat is the main axe I may put some Kinman's in the neck and middle slots

Hey Laroosco, take the money and buy yourself a set of Kinman Avn Blues pikups. You will get all of those beautiful Strat tones and plenty of punch with no noise. They run about $265, shipping included.

Peace,

Speaking of P-90's, I've got a friend (mostly a keyboard player) who inherited his uncle's ES-175. It's one of the early ones, great action, very vintage. For p/u's it has P-90's. I've never seen one like it before. Well, the tone is out of this world deep, woody, and yet clear at the same time. Like a cross between rich jazz and a deep, woody, but crisp blues.

He's keeping it for sentimental reasons (I can perfectly well understand) but if he ever decides to sell it. . .
Anybody else ever run across one of these animals?
