mr. papa Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 I have a set of underwound P-90s that I put in a mahogany P-90 Special, but I am selling the Special, so the pickups are also available.I was looking for a better blues/jazz/classic rock tone, so I spoke with Lindy about the wind on these. He recommended a -8 bridge / -18 neck wind to get a more '50s output without losing the P-90 grind. The neck pickup has the Gibson style braided leads and the bridge has the two conductor shielded leads for versatility. I used it as a phase switch, so that I could get stratty quack sounds in the middle position. The pickups are RW/RP to one another for noise reduction in the middle pickup. The long and short of it is that these pickups sound great in my Special. I get a great grind sound with overdrive, but they also clean up beautifully, and the middle position with the out of phase sounds exactly how I hoped they would. This set covers a lot of ground from strat to tele to vintage P-90. They come with cream covers, and I have three gold Gibson-style knobs I can throw in if you want them.I'd like $130 for the pair, shipped USPS Priority Mail with delivery confirmation to anywhere in the continental US. I am willing to ship via a different method. I would prefer a USPS money order for payment, but I will also take PayPal if you pay the fees.So, why am I selling this? I just don't play the electric guitar much. My family has changed (grown and re-grown,) my oldest is home from college after suffering a very bad accident, my wife is at home all of the time and trying to work, and I don't see myself rocking out on electric for a long, long time. Maybe you can get some mileage out of them.
Stokesdead Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 man this is tempting but I don't know about the "under-wound" part. I have the stock Duncans in my special and they are pretty high and I believe they are the "hot" model~CS
