Hey Kim, I was looking at the P-90s on your site... How does an original compare to a new Gibson one or a current replacement? I was thinking of getting an original 50's one for my Jr.

I have always traded out the stock Historic P-90's with originals.
Nothing like a 50's P-90

...I yanked the clear bobbins from my '69 for a set of '50's.A noticeable difference.

Special pickguards.The guard on top is off the TV and the guard on bottom is off the cherry one.Note the pickup route differences between the two. Goes to show that these were hand cut,unlike today's pickguards.

Late fifties inlay change of pattern on a P90 Les Paul. Notice the Large Frets and nibs. Large frets were thought to only come on late 58-59 Standards. UH AHH!

Newb and amateur here .. so take it easy
Can someone please explain why the "50's" harnesses depicted here don't appear to have 50's wiring layout for the bees, and also why the "50's" s/plate brackets don't have the "50's" slot head screw? Are these just examples of exceptions which prove the rule?
Thanks.

What rules are these? Have a look through "Beauty of the Burst" and count the proportion of slot head pickguard screws. With some of the people who have contributed to this thread, here would be a much better place to learn your rules that where you've been looking.

Nice! Are those all from 1960, or did you have to buy from other years? If you got a set of PAFs, it would pretty much be the real deal.

Also, the action looks amazingly low in that picture. It's too low for me.
