Patrick from Davis said:However, I would focus on the pickups for the sound primarily. Sure, the body and neck will contribute, but you can change the character the most with the pickups. For that reason, I'd talk to Ken at Roadhouse pickups. If you talk with him, and have examples of what you are after, then you will be most of the way to the sound you are after. There are other pickup designers that will do this as well, but Ken is the one I know, so I am suggesting him.
Yeah that is what i think about, rear cavity and no pickguard with hardtail.Patrick from Davis said:The '69 thinline is a mahogany body and maple neck, at least the reissue was for a while. The Korina should be quite close to the Mahogany, and the Wenge does have a lot of the mid character.
Well i got a set of Duncan SP-90 that are hot of one Godin LG SP90 but i remplace them with a set of Klein P-90 50s style and a I got a set of Suhr S90 too. I remember I tried to remplace the caps with some Vitamin Q paper in oil caps but the change was drastic so I ended with the stock caps and I think it got 500k pots and just remplace the pickups. I thinking to find some 0.33 paper in oil caps to try.Patrick from Davis said:However, I would focus on the pickups for the sound primarily.

All of that being said, the body and neck would be a very nice combination. I am a fan of that combo, and it does sound divine with the proper pickups for your personal tastes.

Can I ask what others trades you tried?Bagman67 said:I have a set of Ken's P90's and they are my favorite pickups, loaded in a mahogany (solid body, not thinline) telecaster with a canary/ebony neck. You could do a lot worse, and spend a lot more doing it.
really nice guitar you got.Tonar8353 said:I used Flame Maple/Swamp Ash for the body and Flame Maple/Brazilian Rosewood for the neck on this one and it is a pretty incredible guitar. P90’s would be great in one of these.
