oh btw, some people say that the "pickup rings" of the minihumbs are actually p90 covers!
Woah man, that looks pretty groovy. That's the first I've ever seen rings like that.

Between electrics, acoustics and basses I have 16 also. But a bunch are guitars that I bought for ultra cheap on craigslist and am planning to sell for insane profit on ebay.

well i don't have a huge collection, maybe 6 right now, i had 11 at one point.
but here is an article in from the local paper about one of the customers at the music store i work at, he's got us all beat. He has over
250 Gibsons alone, not counting a single other brand....He's a really nice guy and a pretty good player, and a self-made millionaire.

Yeah they are (or originally were devised from) P90 covers, it dates back to the first Les Paul re-issues... at first they only re-issued them with P-90's, which was immediately met with with an unanimous "why did you do that, this guitar just gained posthumous legend status based on the humbucker'd '59 examples" so to use up the prepared stock but appeal to the primary market, they devised the mini humbucker and put them into all the bodies routed for P-90's by using P-90 covers for rings. These are what are known as the Les Paul "Deluxe" today.
Then later came the humbuckered LPs that used conversion rings to have P-90's mounted in 'em...
