Just picked up a blue MR-Modern. harleybenton.com/product/mr-modern-bk/Anyone own one? what did you change on yours? id like to change the pickups. It has soapbar humbuckers. Will a soapbar p90 fit? I have no reference for size comparison.

Well Artec call them P90 sized humbuckers. Which begs the question - does that make them mini humbuckers? Since mini humbuckers were originally designed to replace P90s... And if so, I'd love to try them. I've been gassing for some mini humbuckers for ages and this may be my way in! Might be worth checking the dimensions with Artec first though. yeah i will have to wait until it gets here to really check. But from what i can see and hear, thats all that will need to be changed on it. Those particular pickups dont have the sound i like.

If they're anything like the H-90s in my Revelation I can't say I blame you jonathanoakley88. God those pickups take a LOT of work to get somewhere nice...and even then I'm usually glad to move on to another guitar instead. I think they make fantastic guitars, i have a HB SC junior in TV yellow and its my favorite guitar, all i changed were the tuners and bridge and i shimmed the p90 a couple mm higher. Awesome. I got this mr-modern because i love the ramones and always wanted a mosrite but they are much too expensive and this guitar had some modern features. Gone are the days of spending 1000$ or more for guitars (for me amyways) and i like to tinker and replace parts to make guitars my own

Nothing compares to P90 be they classic or modern

... And P90 in HB size have already a name : P94
Mini HB are a lot closer to HB than P90 in my opinion
