The is a single neck P90 in my new Godin 5th Avenue (no, it's not the Godin Kingpin, but an aftermarket Lollar added to the 5th Avenue).

I've never had a P90 before & would like opinions on pickup height & pole-piece adjustment.

It currently has 2 spacers underneath it (there are no pickup height adjustment screws) there is room for another one or two.

I messed with the pole piece height & I found that raising a screw brought the mids up independent of the string.

A lower height on the unwound strings sounded brighter than a higher height which surprised me.

Erick who added the P90 used CTS 300K pots, an orange drop .022 cap, & a switchcraft jack.

It sounds great to me. What would you use?


I'd like to hear more about the care & feeding of P90s.
