The Story
To many players, the P-90 pickup sits tonally between a humbucker and a traditional single-coil pickup. With bar magnets and adjustable polepieces, as well as a a wider magnetic field than many other single-coils, the P-90 tends to have a thicker, grittier sound which can be cleaned up by rolling off the volume a bit.
Faithful to the original 50's era P-90, using a blend of Alnico magnets and vintage spec plain enamel wire, we took the best sounding examples from the 50's and recreated the ultimate neck and bridge combo - with Alnico 3 for the neck pickup and Alnico 4 for the RWRP bridge pickup.
The neck pickup has that sweetness and clarity while the bridge pickup has a nice articulate grind, with rich overtones.
Vacuum potted coils.
