bolero Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 looking for some reference pics. I have an H575 converted to P90's by a "Luthier" but it's a mess I don't know why he didn't just get HB sized P90's instead of f*cking with the top considering restoring it to humbuckers, if possible thanks!
Steiner Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 OUCH! The routering should be the same as any HB guitar. Best of luck.
kbp810 Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 For once I don’t want to see pics... I’m worried what this mess might look like ?
LeBaron Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 This is what a proper transplant job with humbucker-size P90s looks like, on a H535. Beautifully done by a very skillfull friend only two weeks ago. And the tones are to die for! https://www.brierleyguitarpickups.com.au/p90.htm
bolero Posted March 3, 2020 Author Posted March 3, 2020 yeah I only wish the guy had done that, instead!
LeBaron Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 My friend did take photos during the procedure, but I'm afraid they won't be very useful as they don't show the harnesses and oem wiring.

The p'ups sound really good, especially the neck, and those are some tasty chops, no doubt! Thanks for that post, LeBaron!

The picture shows up for me even in your quote. How about this?
