Les Paul BFG

[guitar141]

Hey guys, i use a Les Paul BFG and was wondering if i could get a pick-up ring/guard(what is it called ?) as they tend to wobble. And is it possible to change the p-90 and burstbucker to both humbuckers? thanks

the P90 rout wont fit a full sized humbucker, unless you install P90 sized humbuckers or of cos rout the body more.

ah ok will probably stick to the p90 then. any recommendations for a good bridge pickup

uhh, the burstbucker thats in the guitar?

Haha ok. I'll probably stick with the normal config then . How about those cases that surround the pick-up in ur guitar that stop them from shaking? Can i get them installed?

Don't nail yourself down by assuming that the pickups that Gibson puts into their guitars are the best for you - granted those burstbuckers are good pickups per se, but they may not be everyone's idea of a good pickup.

Do some research, then plonk some money down to experiment with various pickups to see which ones you prefer. I've heard Lollar makes good humbuckers for Les Pauls, and they have a replacement mini-humbucker for the p90 as well, i believe

lol its okay if ur neck pickup wobbles. its quite normal. haha.

Ok thanks for all the info . Both my neck and bridge pickups kinda wobble because they dont have those pickup frames like other les pauls. I play mostly rock/punk/metal and a good pickup for soloing wouldnt hurt =)
Eh, plus now that i think about it the Burstbucker at the back is kinda "raised up" held up by two bars like just about 1cm below the strings so i dont think a frame could be possible.

EDIT: How do you guys find the seymour duncan alnico 2 pro for the bridge?

Pickups currently - P-90 (neck) and Burstbucker 3 (bridge)
