Hello,
I recently bought a Gibson BR9 guitar. This should come with a p90 pickup.
The guitar I got has a black pickup with silver poles. The poles are not adjustable.
I was under the impression that these guitars came with P90 pickups that have adjustable poles.
So, can you guys tell me if I have a guitar with a fake/replaced pickup?
Thanks
Victor |

| It depends on the year. I beleive the earliest ones were not adjustable. Just going on past memory, not too reliable. |

| The ones I have seen have non-adjustable pole pieces. |

| Also the spacing on these pickups is very wide 1/2" between poles I think which makes it very hard/expensive to replace |

Early models had non-adjustable, later were adjustable, as were the P90s used on the early ES125, etc.

just measured mine again...it is just under 1/2" spacing. 15/32 between the center of the poles
No idea of the age of this guitar...the serial is 1G1374 which doesnt seem to match anything on the web |
