G Man Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Has anyone swapped out the stock minis for P90s? Would they fit without routing? I am seriously considering grabbing the Eclipse that is currently on the bay and dropping some Lollar's into her, but will pass if routing is needed.
Fishleehooker Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 It will need route for 100%. I have thought about this too, but it would be best to just get a p90 type Hamer and put in the P90s of your choice. That being said, if you find a cheap enough Eclipse, do what you want, but know that it will lose its originality.
JohnnyB Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Fortunately, if you rout for P-90s, you can go back to the mini-buckers that work with a P-90 adapter ring. Not the same as Firebird style pickups, but that may not be a bad thing.
G Man Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Sure is tempting, I love the body style, but really want another P90 guitar, and I know the Eclipse, with its all hog body, is going to sound great w/P90s. Think I'll get in touch with my tech. and check the numbers.
duncans Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I've been thinking of this too. Keep us posted. I have a photo of an Eclipse with dog-ear p-90s,looks nice. I picked up an Eclipse a couple of years ago. Broken neck at the heel. Someone took the finish off the neck and has a gouge or two on the back of the neck. Ugly as hell. Plays great. The repair has held well, I play it often. But , I, too, have thought about p-90s in there.
