Replacing my Pickups.

Giblet

Right, I have a Les Paul thats been routed for P90's, which means, the frame that usually comes with humbuckers won't fit back on, because with the routing, the old holes have been routed out.

Is there any frames that are slightly bigger so I can put in some brand new Humbuckers instead or the P90's, or am I looking at a stacked P90 shaped pickup.



The red box would be where the old frame would of been, as you can see, some of the wood had to be routed to make room for the P90's

Ok this is a bit "omg wtf" but someone digged this up for me.

Get it routed for fill size humbuckers perhaps?

I really should get a "Get EMG's" card

Have a look see at this. EMG 81 in a P90 housing. Oh yeah.

Ug - Leeeeeee

Don't make a beautiful Les Paul ugly by putting them gruesome black plastic lumps in it

Giblet

Oh jesus no, black EMG's in my lovely ebony Les Paul!

uggggggggh, anyway the point is, I can fit full sized humbuckers in, as it used to contain them, but you know the little plastic frame that goes around them, and that you screw the pickups onto? The holes were that used to attach it have now been worn away due to the routing.

I think I'll bring her back to Eugene, and see can he fill it or something.
