Tim, I know you answer questions here on the board so here goes... I've got a SG jr with a P90 bridge pickup. I want something much hotter with out going for a full-size 'bucker. Could you make a Warpig in a P90 size?

:twisted:

Man that'd be killer, very Iommi-esque. 8)

Don't see why not. :D

I've done it before-we could even distress up a chrome dogear cover for the 'look' too.

Have you got a picture of a previous one you've done? Also, will it be the same price as a standard Warpig?

No pic I'm afraid and it'd be £80 as it's only one coil!

Only one coil? :? I was really asking for a full-sized Warpig to be squeezed into a P90 package. Will a P90 Warpig with only one coil really sound like the full-sized humbucking model?

Maybe I should just get a new scratchplate cut and order the standard model :roll:

You'll never get a Warpig under a P90 cover its impossible and humbucking P90 designs never sound right so if a Warpig is the tone you want, a Warpig is what you should have. :twisted:

I'm sure the P90 Warpig would sound great and the prospect of having something a little different is appealing - how would you describe the P90 Warpig tone? How is it different from the standard 'Pig?

:twisted:

Being a P90 it has a lot more focus and cut. It's still very high gain but not mushy at all.You get alot of power too from the dual magnet design of a P90.

That description of a P90 Warpig sounds VERY appealing. I love the P90 tone - too many options, aghhhh!!!

P-90 Warpig....wow! That would look (and sound) cool in an SG Classic or Pete Townsend Signature. I think Satan is getting ready to order a set for his! :twisted:

Tim, I think you should make it a regular production model.

Ginger Ninja · « **Reply #11 on:** April 28, 2005, 01:55:36 PM »

A regular production model of a P-90 warpig would be good, but you have to take into account that some people who have P-90 guitars might not want that much power, the warpig is phenomenally powerfull remember. A regular production of a P-90 Miricale man or Riff Raff would probably be better, more people will want that sort of sound in a P-90 guitar methinks

P-90's are mostly used for blues, aren't they? But I've heard the Lindy Fralin Blues Bar is also pretty hot. I'm not a real blues player but I know my Warpig does a pretty good 'wrong-side-of-the-tracks' blues. A P90 Warpig would be someting that's never been done before, it might catch on :)

If I had a P-90 equipped guitar, I'd get me a set!

just fitted a P92 to an old Goldtop Deluxe Les paul
Sounded wonderful
That is the sound i want in a humbucker - perfect for 1980s rock!
Somehow it was just sweeter than a humbucker - delicious

How about a P100 Warpig? (P100 is a stacked humbucker in a P90 housing)
Maybe that's a good sollution Heavier Than Hell. :P
