He removed his profile avatar pic, so I’m assuming he decided he needed a break from forums/social media/etc. can’t say I blame him.

I knew he'd left here but didn't know he'd stopped posting on the fractal forum too. I hope he's ok and just wants a break.

Thanks Johnny, appreciate the input! Mostly just a "look" thing, and what I'm used to from my Les Pauls.
I really miss having Andy available to ask guitar related questions. I also always appreciated other folks on this thread to chime in with their experiences and opinions!
I'm also in the "Luthiers" FB group and I am not impressed with the kind of questions and answers I see there.
Instead of creating a new thread for every question, would it be acceptable to just continue using this thread, with all the knowledgeable folks that are already "listening" to it chiming in, knowing full well that likely Andy won't be responding to it anymore?

Yeah I've got a few questions I'd like to ask him as well. I also miss all the vintage guitar pics he'd post.
Hello legends! (channeling Leon)
Question about Gibson P90s. Apparently there is a variant that has been installed in the "Les Paul Junior 100 Special" model. Slugs instead of screws is the main difference construction wise, I believe. But there might be tonal differences, instead of "warmth", more "screech".
Would it still be a valid pickup for blues/rock application? (No country twang is wanted).
Also, how does height adjustment work on these models? Is it with those two exposed screws?
Thanks!

No idea about the tonal changes but yes the height adjustment is via the two screws. There should be foam, springs or both underneath.

Haven’t used that particular model before, but I have a similar designs in a couple of my guitars. Mine are slightly less “rude”, little more clarity and lower volume, but still in the same tonal ballpark as most regular P90 types I have played. Slightly different shade of the same color.
On the topic of single coil construction (also mentioning P90s), here is a good article from the Seymour Duncan website. Astounding that there are that many different ways you can build a single coil pickup!
