P-90 Wiring Question

[RMosack]

I know the proper POT and CAP values that Gibson uses for HB-equipped LPs. I also know the values for non-Gibson single-coil guitars. How does Gibson wire a LP Special (two P-90)? Do they use four 500k pots like on Standards, or do they use 250K (like on a typical $trat or T@le)? Also, what caps are used for the two tone pots?
By the way, this is my first post on this forum. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

p-90s

I wish someone would answer you, man. I just ordered a set of Fralin p-90s for my LP Special and I'd like to know, too.

We don't get as much p-90 help here since Big Al left.:cry

Kreig, have you done any investigating into what pots to use? I seem to remember you with a special and jr. at one time.

SG Classic Pots

Hello, I've been watching the forum for awhile and realized I accually know this!! At least in reference to P-90 equiped canoe paddles.

I contacted gibson a month ago, they told me the pots are 500K and the caps are .22 for my 01 SG Classic.

Thanks for the responses. I'm building a Gibby-meets-Fender P-90 Mahogany Thinline w/ Gib scale neck. This will help.

Caps

.22 / .022 whatever it takes!

caps

Big Al likes the 0.15 NOS oil/paper caps in his P-90 equipped guitars as well as his humbucker guitars.

Since Angela.com is sold out of the Gudemans, the Spragues or Jensens are recommended.
