Members Notes_Norton Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 I just completed my very first guitar mod. I own a 2001 Epiphone Casino and a 1970 Gibson ES-330. The ES-330 has become a collectors item so I play it at home, using the Casino (with Seymour Duncan P90s) on stage. (first picture, GuitarCousins3.jpg - below). I'm very happy with both, but two things happened: . I sold the humbuckers that came with the LTD for almost half what I paid for the Mean 90s, and so I have less than $100 in the guitar and it no longer collects dust but instead, comes to the gig with me. I'm happy with the sounds, the Casino is feeling jealous because I'm bringing the LTD to the gig more often, but hey, it's a new toy Notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Notes_Norton Posted June 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 Here's a better picture. It's very difficult to take a picture of a shiny black guitar without getting glare from either a flash or the sky, or a self portrait reflected in the body. This is in my back yard, under the oak trees. Notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrbrown49 Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 You could try shielding your control cavity with copper tape. Singles will always buzz and hum if there is noise about. It's just the nature of single coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metallica_00 Posted June 9, 2009 Members Share Posted June 9, 2009 I've got a Mean 90 in the bridge position of a Washburn junker I had lying around, got for free. The Means definitely have a bit of top end chime to them which I like. I can't really compare them to a real P90 since I don't have any P90 guitars but they're a nice pickup, hot enough to drive an amp but clear enough to get some good clean and low gain tones as well.
