Dodge Gibson P94 pickup
Anyone got any opinions etc on these? They seem to get mixed reviews on Harmony Central. I'm looking to something different for my tired old Hamer Archtop Studio (factory pickups SD '59 and jeff Beck)

Rio Grande also makes P-90s in humbucker size (Bastards) and I THINK Harmonic Design does too, though I'm not sure. If the Gibson doesn't float your boat, you have options.

I bought one, and after a little bit, noticed that the cover had a sharp edge on it's inside lip (demi-cover). I removed the cover.... and found the whole inside of the thing all dremeled up. I mean it was ground out all over. Reall strange.  
 
Got another... this one had no sharp lip on top, but I had to look under the cover. Same thing, like they ground all the chrome from the inside (not just where you solder it.  
 
They're really FAT sounding, very warm and high output. I think they're warmer than a P90, almost too warm in the neck position.
