I have a Gibson Historic '56 Les Paul. Although when you're playing the noise disappears it's still annoying and I've been tempted to install mini HBs . The one thing that always used to stop me was the memory of a Les Paul Deluxe I used to have. It was a great axe but A/Bd with my '56 it always sounded thinner without a lot of bottom end.
Now that these Lollar mini HBs have been brought to my attention I think I'll be buying a pair when I'm in a position to do so. They sound good.
Your Edwards sounds great. I put Lollar p90s in my Les Paul Deluxe because I hated the mini-humbuckers. But these sound a lot better than the Gibson ones.
Dude, it says under 'more info' that it's an Edwards model. If you've never hear dof them, they make copies of Gibsons guitars but cheaper, also less quality, but good enough for a sound liek this. Also this guitar originally came with P90s, but he replced them, so its not a deluxe, no offense though
they are larger then a single coil, and smaller then a ''usuall'' humbucker... they have an unique size... if you wanna install mini-humbs in a guitar with singles, you'll have to drill it... or, if you wanna install them in the place of humbucker, you'll have to fill the space of the pick up with a little wood...
whatever, both procedures, require a really hard and technical work...
yeah, it is absolutely possible to have minihumbuckers on an sg, but its difficult to instal. there's enough space under the pickguard, but you'd have to make/buy a pickguard made for p90's, and you need a special way to hang the minihumbuckers under the pickguard (like you do with real humbuckers), because normally, they're bolted directly in the body.
Hey great tone on here! I love the mini humbucker sound. Can you tell me what your guitar/amp settings were for the playing at 3:26 (after the wah)? Sounds great, would love your feedback. Thanks!
OMG you play awesome!!!!!!

Ha! I have one too! I think my is a 72'? Not absolutely sure though? It's either a 70' - 71' - 72'?
The info I found online is a bit confusing - I didn't quite get what they were taking about w/ the serial numbers?
my looks like this: 487
120101
MADE IN USA
(not sure if Gibson stamped the three digit
number above the serial # or if it's apart of the serial # or what? It's look different than the rest of the #'s????)

Can anyone help me? I need to know if mini humbuckers are the size of a single coil pickup or just a smaller version of humbuckers?

they will not fit inside a standard single coil route.

No Mini Humbuckers are about the size of p90s. In fact they were made to fit guitars that had already been routed for p90s
YogiSizzle 3 years ago
they are smaller than P-90's though, but there are pickup rings, as shown in that les paul, that are P-90 sized and hold mini humbuckers.

you don't need a special way to do that. Lollar will make the pickup with nuts soldered to the wings so you can screw the pickup to the pickguard.

couldn't you just drill holes into the pickguard?

very nice playing. I never did care for the sound of mini humbuckers though. I think they sound best with both piclups on myself.
