Hey!, does anyone know about the the guitarist Uraha? he plays for a japanese rock band called Gazette and plays what I think its called an ESP Hellion custom, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get my hands on a replica, I know they manufatcured them sometime back, but I haven't had any luck.

thnks

SPH90's are P90's in a humbucker housing.

Are there P90s in single coil housings?

I think he is referring to non-dog-ear style.

P90's have their own housings , either the dog ear style or the soapbar style, which are wider than single coils but thinner than humbuckers

Soapbar style:

the best way to compare the two would be to by a 400vf and put those SD p-90s in them.
