HB in a Custom22 Soapbar?

[P90s]

Has anyone ever tried putting a HB pick-up in the Bridge slot on a Custom 22 Soapbar? Anything you can share, good or bad?

Reason I ask.....my favorite guitar is a Custom22/Soapbar but I'd love to have a HB in the Bridge slot. Does anyone have any opinions on rerouting the bridge slot and installing a HB? I'd probably look for a C22/Soapbar on ebay since my own C22/Soapbar is sacred and I wouldn't want to risk it.

There are some P-90 sized humbuckers out there. Might be an easy/cheap way to check it out without permanently modding a guitar.

I had a Gibby studio that just went bye bye for a SC Hollow-body purchase to be. I loved the setup but never bonded with the guitar. If I could score a prs to mod it would be a hb bridge with a p90 style hb in neck or a p90 in neck with a mini hb in bridge. If you could get a mini hb to demo it, that would be a great way to go. Mini humbuckers are kick ass!!! Maybe that is my next project!!!!--after the hollow-body:flute:

I have an SE Soapbar II that I did that to, I know it's not exactly the same thing but it has some really cool sounding pup combinations.

how about a narrow 408 in bridge? not sure of the fit, but that sounds cool
