Gibson makes them (p-94s) as well as Duncan (and a few other companies).  Or, you can get a new pickguard sized for traditional p-90s.<br><br>Is there a reason you want to swap the neck and pickups?]]></content:encoded>

No you can't swap with a real P90 or a Soap Bar, but you can have WD Music supply a pickguard which accomodates one and doesn't break the bank, and go to town!  As it is now, I believe you have 2 adjustment/holding screws per side which is unique, as are the large pups themselves.  People who change that type of humbucker for another with one screw above &amp; below either fabricate some type of adapter - which used to be produced decades ago, but no longer exist.  Or use a pickup ring like Keith Richard's Tech, but your strings might hit the pickup - it gets a little higher.  And this will apply if you want an existing sort of HB-sized P90-ish such as Seymour's Phat Cat or Rio's Fat Bastard or something similar from elsewhere, Guitar Fetish?  I'd get the guard.<a href="http://www.warmoth.com/Pickguard/72Pickguard.aspx">http://www.warmoth.com/Pickguard/72Pickguard.aspx</a> or here, they mean '72 and have a std. HB option for 1 or both of the pickups <a href="http://www.wdmusic.com/pickguard_te_2500.html">http://www.wdmusic.com/pickguard_te_2500.html</a><br><br>You can put a Strat neck on with a rounded heel in your square pocket or any other standard size Tele neck Warmoth etc.]]></content:encoded>

I don't think you'll want to. Those wide range humbuckers sound pretty nice, even to a confirmed single-coil junkie like me.<br><br>Hit the band link in my sig, and you can find video of my Thinline Deluxe in action]]></content:encoded>
