Comments: The original pups ( Epi PAF's ) were fair to good, just a bit muddy, but passable ( any GOOD guitarist could take this guitar and tweak on stage, make it do what they wanted without doing research, in a matter of minutes).
With Pete's P-90 conversion pups, the Epi jumped to life and makes ANY play stand up. Most noticed was the single string tonal abilities on the lower two strings ( vibrato on lower strings REALLY stands out )! With volume manipulation ( 500K pots ), the guitar can be clean and rhythmic on the low end, driven as the pots are increased to a very smooth overdrive at top end. Comparable to a PRS McCarty ( SD Designed P-90's )I recently owned and was hoping to emulate.
I regret giving a glowing report before changing out ALL the pups I intend to change ( Tele and Hardtail Strat,those I build for custom use ), because the prices will be going up ( Remeber me Pete, please ). These are the best, most responsive pups I have played to date. That is, starting in 1966, playing seriously until the mid 70's, again C&W in the early 80's, mostly acoustic until P&W rock this decade.
For me, the P-90 sound has been an elusive thing. Two of the Gibson LP Specials I've owned had P-90's, but sounded like LP DeLuxes with mini-humbuckers. The Samick JMaster clone's P-90's are better, the PRS McCarty Soapbars were eye openers. VVG's conversion set of P-90's are the best, no doubt. Would I replace them? In a blooming heartbeat!! This IS the sound I've looked for, period.
Oh, not to mention, his new designs come with two sets of magnets. Ceramics in place and a set of well marked Alnicos, along with instructions on how to change them out. Two pickups in one, and able to drop in place in a guitar with humbucking pups ! Mega winner !
