Description
First introduced in the early 1950s, Gibson’s legendary P-90 single coil pickup produced a raw, powerful tone that helped define the blues and rock and roll in their formative years. Today, the P-90’s brilliant tone is still considered a favorite among many top musicians. Now the P-90 is available in a full-range under-wound version that delivers a bit less output than a standard P-90 but with a bright tone that remains clear at any volume, with clearly defined overtones rich in harmonics, and with less dampening of string vibrations. It features two-conductor wiring and is fully wax potted to eliminate any chance of unwanted microphonic feedback.

Excellent pickup. I purchased it for a second P90 in my Les Paul Junior Tribute. The guitar was already routed for a second pickup and this P90, now in the neck position really let’s the Jr. shine. Absolutely no noise, which is a bit surprising for a single coil. It has a warmer, fuller and more powerful tone compared to standard single-coil pickups like those found on Strats.
It’s a bit wider and shorter than typical Fender-style single coils hence the nickname – Soapbar.
On another note – I have been buying from Solo for years now. Intelligent, knowledgeable sales and service staff. Super fast shipping and items are always well packed for safe delivery. Prices are competitive as well. A+ guitar shop.
