P90 adjustment
Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2018 3:10 pm
I want to play with the height of some P90s. They are currently screwed into foam blocks. If I put Strat springs on the screws instead, would there be any unexpected issues?

Put a bit of packing in there now, I presume you think they're too low? the foam gives maybe 5-6 mm height adjustment?Slowy wrote:Refer to "I want to play with the height of some P90s. " in the post above.Bg wrote:I've always just put some packing underneath the foam
I should have added, "Without having to remove the strings every time I want to increase the height a bit".
Quite the opposite; I've lowered them to flush with the pickguard and they work well (Yeah, not normal, I know). Now I want to incrementally raise them to see how far I can go before encountering the reason I pushed them down that far in the first place.Bg wrote:Put a bit of packing in there now, I presume you think they're too low? the foam gives maybe 5-6 mm height adjustment?Slowy wrote:Refer to "I want to play with the height of some P90s.

I don't see any reason you can't use surgical tubing/springs but if it isn't broken...
Yeah. The existing foam is very dense. And 'have springs, don't have springy foam.'sizzlingbadger wrote:Just use thicker foam so you can screw the pickups up and down. With springs the pickups are likely to tilt.
