Jason Lollar	Re: P-90 in a humbucker sized mount....the real deal Both Wolfe and I are working out a P90 coil that fits in most HB routes but both use a different mounting method. P-90's are too long to fit in an HB cover. You can buy P-90 bobbins in qty of 100 from WD if you can get them to sell to you. I use Forbon, for one reason I have seen too many P-90's with bobbin rot where the plastic has degraded and shorts out the coil. You dont have to worry about that for 30 + years though, so really I make my own bobbins to tweek the design for better tone.
