Just checked mine. Neck is 7.8 k and bridge is 7.74 k. Is that about right ? If so, would that be avg P90 output or a bit low ?
I'd say about average. I like my P90 not too hot, I can always raise it close to strings if need be. The other way around is not as easyé I've had Duncan Design in a Godin and couldn't get them low enough to get rid of all the heat. The P90 Pro are hotter than the older ones in the bolt-on LP Special.
They seem to sound fine and have enough adjustment to get them where I want them. Just curious as this is my first guitar with P 90's. I switched to bass for a few years and sold my guitar amps, so I've only heard the Spl. through the seller's old tweed Champ. And a small bass combo I kept. Any guitar would suck through that thing. Trying to decide what amp to get.
P90's are real sensitive to height, so don't be afraid to play with their height and maybe even pole pieces. It can take a while to get to the optimal sweet spot, but it's fun to do and very rewarding once there. Here's where mine are after tweaking for almost a year now.
Yea, I've already raised the poles on my neck pup to balance string to string volume. The B string was jumping out like a plain G on a vintage staggered Strat pickup. I have to wait until my amp gets here to get both pickup set right. Plus I'm going to try different sets. I like heavy strings with a wound 3rd tuned down a half step to suit my voice.
This one work with the Epi studs ? https://www.allparts.com/products/tp-0401-compensated-wound-g-lightning-bar-tailpiece
I don't have a clue. Just posted the image so you could see the difference. 3¼" = 82.55mm, should fit.
Thanks, I may go ahead and try some strings with a plain 3rd around 22 or so and give them a chance before I swap the tailpiece. I may wind up liking them.
I used to run my old Special thru a Vox Royal Guardsman...it gave kind of a honking sound to leads, depending on your liking...settings abound.
