P-90 Guitar Pickups

The P-90 is a unique single coil pickup first featured in classic Gibson Les Paul guitars. Tonally, it bridges the gap between the glassier dynamism of a single coil and the thicker humbucker. It’s characterised by the raspy texture, midrange hump and grittier tonality. The perfect choice for all forms or rock, blues and hardcore music genres.

 Although not as popular a choice as the single coil or humbucker, P-90 pickups are still a prominent feature in contemporary music and big brand catalogues. The likes of Seymour Duncan, Bare Knuckle, Gibson and DiMarzio. Even EMG make some active pickup and 7 and-8-string models. There’s a P-90 for whatever guitar you play.
