gfs P-90 in a jagmaster...?

I'm thinkin about putting a p-90 in my jagmaster-- I hardly ever use the neck humbucker so I thought 'd put it there to get a different sound

I'm sure someone has done it-- can anyone point me to a useful guide or is it so easy that I don't need one?

Also, I'm planning to buy the GFS Mean 90

I've heard good things but haven't played one... how does it compare to gibson p-90s for example? is the dream 90 closer to a gibson p-90? the gfs pups seem too good to be true for that price...

got the mean90's in a sg and they sound great...but for a jagmaster u would need to make the pu holes in the pickguard larger.....

yeah i'll butcher this pickguard if I have to but they also sell HB size ones, don't they?

yes, that is what I'm refering too..... The pickgaurd on jagmasters are not cut for HB's with covers... at least the vista are this way.... check before ordering on urs

yup
just make sure you do some guide lines on the guard before you start to cut it..
i keep forgetting too, and then the hole is just way to big.

I have a Mean 90 in the neck of my Jagmaster. It sounds amazing. Changed the pots to 1meg ones. Probably helps.

Shame the rest of the guitar is a bit of a disappointment.
