I love mini-humbuckers. I also love P-90s. Damn.

Changing the magnets and wires will RWRP the pickup. I did that on my Gibson.

I love mini hums.

I love the sound of P90's. I HATE the hum that comes with it. I'll happily play humbuckers instead of P90's if I can avoid the hum.

My workspace is about as organized as I am.

Thanks very much, but I think that this is gonna be the year that I score an R9 to complete my burst collection. I have an R8 and R0--but I need the 9. This might be the one:

That's a really nice choice, Doc.

That's a great job; looks stock. I played one at my local Sam Ash and regretted that Gibson did not make that model with humbuckers ...

[Tupelo Son]

Sweet, I like it alot!

[8 Foot Manchild]

Beautiful. I'm in the market for some minibuckers myself.

Do you know why they discontinued it so soon? Bad seller?

[Ratae Coritano…]

PK, personally I think A2 bridge and A5 neck is THE best combo, while tradition has always used A2 at the neck. I'd love to hear that, and like Doc, you've given me a little bug now

Nice mods

Kinmans are a nice thought. But why should I spend $300 on pickups when I have a set of minis at home? All I had to do was order the rings from GFS.

Also, in several installs routing is required due to the size of the Kinmans. I'm considering a set for my 60s Tribute Les Paul, but not sure I wanna mess with routing.

^^^ That was the case with the stacked Duncan P90s in my 50's Tribute LP as well as the Midtown. I briefly had a set of Joe Barden soapbars installed. Those were nice and no modifications were needed. But I decided to go with the minis. Another pickup that worked in the LP was the Bill Lawrence L-550. Those are difficult to find though. I currently have them installed in the LP.

If you are interested in a slightly used set of Barden soapbars, PM me. I plan to sell them.

Installation was a breeze using GFS rings. I like those rings. There is no need to use tubing between the top of the ring and the humbucker itself.

Awesome !
