Ok, after a bit of research I am leaning heavily toward a BG vintage P90. http://bg-pups.com/p90s/vintage-p90/ Bryan was really responsive to my questions which was great. Bryan's pickups are about $30 or so more expensive than GFS, but he said he will wind it even a little custom to fit my bridge pickup so I am sold. GFS did not get back to my email, so they lost that aspect of my business. I will still probably order a pick guard from GFS as I intend to simply make up a second pickguard for this pickup configuration. Probably, as long as I am doing it, I will do DVM's mod and do a quick connect system of some kind so I can experiment with this guitar. I may end up with a third configuration with a Filtertron type pickup in the neck. Who knows?!
Ok, off to ask DVM a question in his tele mod thread.
