How can you tell he's not?
If he was using P90s it'd look like this
:
They have p-90s made into regualr humbuckers..
however the pole pieces on the p-90 versions are centred and regualr ones are not..
like the ones on the reverse that J is playng

Yeah, but you can't fit a P90 into a humbucker case anymore than you can call a humbucking pickup that fits inside a single coil cover a PAF humbucker.
They might approximate the sound of a P90 but it's not a true P90. The P90 bobbin is much wider than a humbucker's cover and a different height.
Even some pickup winders (one famous one...can't remember who, maybe Lollar?) refuses to wind "P90" humbucker sized pickups because he claims you can't replicate the sound accurately without the original dimensions.

well i guess everyone has already said it but that is one the ugliest pieces of crap i have seen in my life, i have never been a big gibson fan anyway, except for maybe the non-reverse firebird, but they have just made an already pretty ugly guitar even uglier.
i can't walk in a straight line

I think J Mascis is just trying to fuck with everyone, to be honest.
