Creme

Widely known as Gibson's first successful single-coil pickup, the lean and mean P-90 offers a stellar combination of high output and biting treble response. After nearly 50 years, the Gibson P-90 is still a favorite among musicians as a replacement alternative for the typical single coil pickups.

The P-90 pickup features vintage two-conductor, braided, shielded wiring, and comes in either the "dog ear" or "soap bar" mounting with creme or black plastic covers.

Stock in a Gibson

This pickup came stock in a Les Paul Junior I own. P-90s are my favorite pickup and while the new Gibsons sound slightly different than the vintage P-90s I've heard, they're not far off. Perhaps some sweat and age will make them even better. Thicker mids than a Fender style single coil, but brighter than a humbucker. A mean, raw, and nasty sound. I can even get country twang out of mine with some amp knob turning.

These came standard on my Gibson SG Classic. They sound awesome. Plus, they are the classic pickup that was used by so many guitarists in the 60's, including my favourite, Pete Townshend. You can not go wrong with this classic, vintage pickup!

I put these babies into my old les paul deluxe (which was in need of new pickups) and they are very flexible with their tone. You can go from country to death metal. Yeah they are noisy, but not as noisy as people say. If you dont like any noise just get a noise gate. I use a boss ns-2 and it does fine. They did really good without it. Yhey sound like single coils when clean or with srv style distortion, and humbuckers with rock distortion. If you want a good sound pair these babies up with a good amp and you will sound perfect. Buy these and you wont be the least bit sorry.

hi, Played a Les Paul Special dual-cutaway with these pickups....wow! I was impressed cuz I have a stigma with single coils. The guitar was able to deliver punchy, thick(not muddy), and rather crisp sounds through a cheap 15w Fender(make the guitar work people!). The sound was impressive, no feedback, clarity, and no annoying treble sounds. Handled palm-mutes with ease, and power chords as well. I was surprised. Ran it through my Mesa for fun, and the guitar rose to the occassion.
