P90 pick ups

Phil_C

I'm playing with the idea of throwing a P90 pickup in the bridge of my epi LP and swapping out the DiMarzio super distortion.

What's the best P90 to put in? I'm not really savvy with what's best.

Cheers in advance.

1) Best is subjective. 
2) Regular P90s require a differently sized cavity than humbuckers. Your options will be restricted to P90 type pickups in a humbucker-sized format.
3) For Rock and Blues, the important thing about P90 pickups is the way that they interact with overdriven valve amplification.

Ah right. Thanks for the reply.

I'm actually not sure how deep the cavity is. I did fit my own pickups last time but I cannot remember.

What would you recommend fit-wise?

Bare Knuckle Mississippi Queen. Really fat sounding pickups.

In sure Oil City pickups on here do humbucker sized p90's too

I have used these before as well for fitting in a regular humbucker routing
