can you switch the cover on a p90 pickup?

[LollarGuitars]

@TheArts8 sure- dog ear or soapbars are easy to swap out- soapbars are only held on by the height adjustment screws and dog ears are held on by the two mounting screws- one in each ear. They just pull off and you slip a new one over the top of the guts

hey the guy on new yankee workshop Norm says always use goggles.This is a great video.Are routers expensive?Do they make soapbar humbuckers black?

[LollarGuitars]

@LetArtsLive That particular router in the video- porter cable plunge router is about $220 new so you would only want to buy one if you were going to use it for other things. Yes you should wear eye and hearing protection, in this case there is a chip shield on the router and the cutting surface is buried under the routing jig so there is extremely little chance of having a chip thrown back at you but better safe than sorry.

@LollarGuitars i had a question.Is there somethin that can be installed in guitar to stop humming on single coil pickups?I have seen noise suppressor foot switches do they work?I have a grounded outlet i do not like htat buzz noise.

[LollarGuitars]

@LetArtsLive The best thing i have tried is the electroharmonix hum debugger pedal, you can use one pedal for all your single coil guitars instead of installing something like the suhr backplate at $300 + or - in each guitar. i bought a humdebugger just to test to see how well they work and they do a really good job stopping noise while only making a miniscule difference in your tone. Read all about noise on my blog for other things you can do

@LollarGuitars ok thanks i was thinking about getting a les paul with p90s but i didn't like that they only had models with black covers so thanks

@raiderjblakk pickups are what I make, i have the best reputation for a small maker in the business

.google Jason Lollar and youll find my site. I have a P-90ish sounding pickup in a humbucker size- no routing required- or even changing the stock epi humbuckers out for my humbuckers will be an immense improvement in clarity and dynamics with a better quality to the distorted sound, if what I have is a little more $ than you want to spend look at seymour duncan antiquities

My son has an Epiphone SG and I want to change out the stock pickups. Do you have any suggestions that wouldn't require routing? Moderate budget involved. Thanks.

Well, if I'm going to watch someone's pickup installation video, it might as well be Jason Lollars. ...unless Seth Lover is on Youtube.
