afaik, gibson uses the same pups across the board, vos, custom shop, as well as regular models, so a p-90 is a p-90...
i have a faded LP DC... pickups are a solid "ok". nothing spectacular, slightly icepicky, but pretty clear and they can get nice and raunchy. this is my second faded p90 gibson, and both have been noisier than I expected.. but maybe thats just me.
spend another 150-200 bones and get some awesome handwounds in there. I just ordered a set from Jon Moore and I cant wait..
Agreed, in fact, it's almost certainly the nut and not the tuners.It might be the nut and not the tuners.
