P90 polepieces distance?

[Tuned]

could anyone please measure the distance btw the 12th fret and P90's polepieces? 24,75" scale preferred

F spaced?

F spaced?

Err, I don't think this really matters in this regard? I guess F-spaced or not.
I only need to define their position in the longitudinal direction, i.e. exact spots on the string's span

This varies by guitar.

An sg neck pickup is closer to the bridge than a les paul.

The bridge one is also different I think.

Is there any reason you need precise numbers? What are you going to do with the info, out of curiosity's sake?

Yeah, this will vary from guitar to guitar.

Pitt one at the end of the fingerboard and one near (maybe an inch or so in front of) the bridge and call it good.

I believe so, yes

I actually need to rout the body of a SG style project for a set of Gibson P90-s I got from a friend, so I would like to install them into the positions chosen by the maker for this type of pickups. Comparing the photos, it defintely appears the spots for humbuckrs and P90 do not match for both the SG and the LP.
There is plenty of info on positioning humbuckers but I could find zero info on positioning P90s.

I watched several vids of moveable pickup projects lately, and a fraction of an inch does matter to my ears. True, there are people who say natural harmonics only matter until you press a note on a different fret; but actual listening to guys play the same given riff or phrase while moving the pickup tells me this is not that simple. I have my own thoughts why that may be the case, but that's irrelevent for the question matter

Have you thought about just buying a Gibson P90 SG pickguard and just using it as a template?
