Yeah, Geoff's right... they'll sound good, just different, not quite the same...

Forgive the tangent here, but...

Further fueling the fires of G.A.$., I really have this thing about loving P-90s on shorter-scale guitars, and Fender-style single-coils on longer-scale axes, and I really feel that they're respectively at their best that way; I think that it is due not only to traditional precedence, but actually largely due to the further exaggerated ratio of pickup/magnetic-field size vs. length of harmonic-overtone-vibrations along the strings...

Shorter scale-length (Gibson LP, 335, SG, etc.) + P-90s = fewer & different balance of high-overtones/stronger fundamental-tone (pitch), presented to the wider magnetic aperture of the P-90s. A shorter complex waveform, being caught in the wider spot-light of the P-90; a fat slice of warm, round tones.

Longer scale-length (Fender Tele, Strat, etc.) + Fender-style single-coils = richer & greater number of high-overtones/lesser emphasis on the fundamental-tone (pitch), presented to the narrower magnetic aperture of the fender-style single-coil. A longer, even more complex waveform, being caught in the narrower spot-light of the s/c; a thinner (but maybe taller) slice of a bundle of stringier tones.

(Add to that the snappier attack of Fenderish single-coils vs. the more compressed, whistle-like roundness of P-90s, not to mention all the material, design, and construction differences between Fender and Gibson styles... and we wound up being given beautifully enhanced, more fully realized tone-generator recipes in those respective schools of electric-guitar making. Almost as much by happenstance as by design!)

ANYWAYS- sorry!- I really love what the combination of scale-length and pickup-type can yield!

So, 'Zan, if you made it this far without skipping or deleting me, this is all an excuse for you to get a pickguard loaded with some soapbars and controls; and then, after a while, a shorter-scaled conversion-neck; and then, a little further on down the road, another body (Mahogany, maybe?) that the shorter-scale neck can be bolted onto; and then you'll already have two loaded pickguards, all you'll need is a little more hardware and you'll have two guitars, one a Strat, and one custom-made/D.I.Y. axe with a gnarly trio of P-90 soapbars... feeding a little G.A.$.-pang, just a little, here and there along the way... sounds like a win-win proposition to me!

But I digress...
