The only thing I'm not 100% satisfied of in my Blues 90 are the the Seymour Duncan P90 pickups, great quality but these particular models ( SP90 HOT for the necks position, Custom for the Bridge) with ceramic bobbins are too modern and sometimes harsh sounding for my taste. Experimenting a lot with the amp's setting I found interesting and beautiful tones that I can use but I'm seriously considering checking some alternatives out.
My choice will be definitely an old style alnico type of P90.
The obvious and most expensive brands ,Lollar, Seymour Duncan Antiquities, Gibson .. seem to be the obligated choice for a good-top quality old style p.u.
Any advice for a different more affordable choice of good quality?
I read good reviews of Guitar Fetish Pickups ,their P90 from the site description seem to be perfect with vintage features, correct materials and so on ,but they're so cheap..
see them here http://store.guitarfetish.com/gfsalviwosoc.html
I know some LTG ers own them and appreciate them..... any opinion or advice about them??
Should I mount them on the Blues90 are the Guitar Fetish P90 the same size and pole spacings of the standard Seymour Duncan-Gibson soapbar???
As usual I should be forced to order them on line without sound testing or seeing the exact pole spacing...any of you already mounted them on a blues 90 or bluesbird, or heard the sound and tone they produce???
