I was in talks with someone about buying a guitar and it did not pan out, so I decided to jump in. I ordered a set of pickups from Pete. I expect them in about 3 weeks. I think I'll dump them in My Deluxe and see what happens. Pretty excited to hear that P90 sound coming out of my guitar!

Thanks VJ. I'll let you know the results.
I am VERY picky on the sound of Single Coils and honestly, although I love the sound of a good Strat, I never was able to coax a good tone under my fingers. I'm hoping the P90 will cure this.
I'll report back.

So ... I ordered a pair of P90s for my '94 Deluxe.
Well, I'll be ...
Sounds very sweet.

I wanted to get another guitar just to mess with that, but having my classic for the bucker sound, this Deluxe with P90s hits the single coil sound in a very sweet way.

Thanks to XRocker for the advice (I'm an admin and I don't know how to tag someone!!!???).
Anyhow. Sweet.

@Patzag. So glad you are digging them! Definitely the best think I ever did for my Fly.

I finally got to program presets for this guitar.
The HB presets did nothing for it. But man, properly set up with the right amp and cab, this really sings.
Definitely a keeper.

If someone wants to experiment with a different kind of humbucker - I ordered first a P90 Neck and HB Bridge from Pete at Vintage Vibe. Sounded real nice, but I did not like the combo. I bought a second P90 for the bridge and was much happier.
So I have a spare Vintage Vibe Humbucker. As I said, sweet sounding. Just not used or needed here.
Anyone wants it? They can have it $110.00 plus shipping.
