Dutchman Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I’m missing my MonEl gold top w P90’s... love that guitar but it was just to heavy to play very long (10.2 lbs) I’ve got a bug up my ass to get a Superpro P90 or a Monaco lll as a replacement. Any thoughts greatly appreciated!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Lighter, but they are a bigger bodied guitar. Bigger, Longer Scale, with a different sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts greatly appreciated!! SuperPros, in my experience are lighter than Monaco IIIs. Maybe it's the extra pickup and the Bigsby? Not sure, but that's what I've seen. And my SP is definitely well under 10 pounds. Did they make P-90 SuperPros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubbaVO Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 If only someone would make a bucker sized p-90 that you could swap into a super pro... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disturber Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Never seen a P90 SuperPro. But not to say they don't exist. I have one of each. I think they weigh about the same. Don't know. But none of them feels heavy to me. They are both in the comfort zone, so to speak. The SuperPro has a bigger chamber as it is also hollow under the bridge pickup.

Great pickups, I have them in my Talladega. Humbucker-size, real P-90 sounds, zero hum. Gabe 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBG Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 The MON III and Mon Super Pro are exact same body size and scale length. Seymore Duncan PhatCat is another option for P90 Sound in Humbucker size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Lindy Fralin has different options: - P-90 in humbucker size. - Noiseless P-90 in humbucker size. - P-92 (these are always in humbucker size). Never heard these in person, but the youtube video's sound promising. So there are more than enough possibilities. For now I will stick with my Kinman P-90 Buckers.
