Awesome mod. I'm thinking of doing something similar myself, but how hard is it to make a new routing for the pickup on your own?

[BaileyKingXX]

@raizumichin - I have no special routing tools, I just used an electric drill with the bit taped so I knew what depth to drill without drilling right through the body and a hand chisel. Take your time with it and be careful on the low E end of the pickup because there is very little room to fit the ears of the pickup in the cavity without the cavity being bigger than the scratchplate will cover. It's very tight so take care. The electronics cavity is already big enough to take the switch.

@BaileyKingXX I'm also going to do this mod! Thanks for the inspiration. Any chance you could send a picture of under the pickguard? You had to route a cable cannal for the neck pickup wire, correct? I was hoping to see how you did it, to maybe save me making any stupid mistakes!

[BaileyKingXX]

@MrAmivienna -sorry, no pics avalable and yes you cut an 'open' route with the drill wide enough for the wires to the switch. Doesn't matter if it's a bit rough, as long as the pickguard covers it no-one will ever know.....:)

How are you keeping your Noise down from the P90? Mine is so noisy.

[BaileyKingXX]

@roosterblu - Not had any issues with it - the cavity has sheilding paint and the guard is foil backed but other than that check the usual- earths, amp,leads, etc. if you've still got problems on hi gain settings try using a noise gate

Brilliant!!!!!

@BaileyKingXX Thanks for the tips, doesn't sound too bad if you're careful. Space for the switch is less of a problem since I'm thinking of using a George Lynch style switching with a push pull pot instead.

Awesome, complete differnt sound that i get out of mine.

I have the SEll model and I can relate to your Bridge and Both PUP tones which sound same ballpark as the SEll but your neck (Tele) is no match for another P90. In fact my SEll is very Tele-like generally anyway but he neck P90 drives hard and gives a thick blues tone to die for.

Also to answer a Q further down comments here - my SEll offers no P90 noise but the combined PUPs position noise cancels anyway

Thanks for sharing your mod
