I had to do a minor adjustment to the P-90 in this guitar.
It seemed I could not get the height of the strings right without hitting the
poles of the pickup. I have owned alot of juniors in my day. This is the first one
I ran into this problem. Wella side from my 1954 JR with the low neck angle.
First the guitar is all original. The metal tabs that mount the pickup were bent
in a fashion that the pickup was up high. Still room in the cavity for the pickup
to sit down further. I bent the tabs up, and the pickup sat all the way down.
About 1/8 inch, maybe more. But the cover would not go on.
I took the base plate off and bent the tabs further inward so that the cover now goes over
the pickup and holds it down. The height is perfect and it plays wonderful.
Just thought I`d share this odd mod.
