Members sqrnookle Posted September 25, 2008 Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 So I was browsing the Reverend website (as one does, usually drooling) when I headed back to the main bolt-on neck page and suddenly... ...ALL THE P90S CHANGED TO BLACK! Okay, okay, I know these things can be changed, but seriously - which of these looks better? This: or this: ? It's also the fact that ALL of Reverends P90s are black - which is fine on some, but not all. Just a strange thing to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members omg_otters Posted September 25, 2008 Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 First thing I did when I got my Jetstream was stick black covers on the pups. They were my only complaint. Now the guitar is sexy as hell. That said... cream suits the gold colored Reverends MUCH better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sqrnookle Posted September 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 I'd still love a Charger 290 with the cream pup covers, in the black-with-tortoiseshell pickguard livery they've got on the Club King 290. That'd be sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sk8centilli Posted September 25, 2008 Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 I say black headstock and cream covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sqrnookle Posted September 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 I say black headstock and cream covers. Up until, well, today (best as I can tell) that was the colour scheme. Sadly, I can't seem to find the cache of the website so those pics are lost forever.

Members purple-haze Posted September 25, 2008 Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 Sorry for the noob question but how do you change a P90 cover, I thought all the screws went into the bottom of the pickup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bloolight Posted September 25, 2008 Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 I guess it depends on the finish of the guitar, but I generally like cream covers on P90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted September 25, 2008 Members Share Posted September 25, 2008 Good topic for me, cuz I do have a question. I thinking about buying a chrome P-90 cover for this dude. So after you unscrew the height screws, does the cover lift off the same as on a strat pup or is the damn thing waxed on there like an HB cover???? Thank you so kindly for your consideration and responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members messiah Posted October 21, 2008 Members Share Posted October 21, 2008 ...not sure if you're still after the answer, but I was just browsing; There are two long screws on P90s that are situated between the A&D string and G&B string. These go through and down into the body and on the other side of the pickup you will have two spring coils, more or less the same as what you get on single coil pickups. They control the height of the pickup as well as keeping them in place. So, swapping the covers is pretty easy; *Unscrew the two screws mentioned above and the P90 will pop out. *Be sure to keep these safe!! *Take your screwdriver and place it on one of the central bobbin coils of the P90, the G or the D one, press down slightly whilst you keep your finger either side of the cover. *The main part of the pickup should then separate from the cover. *Get your new cover and place it over the pickup so the bobbins click into place. *Put the two long screws back through the pickup. *Screw back into place in the body. *Adjust the height to taste. HTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
