A Phat Cat is an actual single-coil P-90 Soapbar guitar pickup that fits under a humbucker guitar pickup cover and drops into humbucker-equipped guitars. The tone is big and fat, er, phat. It uses two Alnico 2 magnets for more sustain and softer attack. Also, the metal covers provide more shielding and noise reduction than standard soapbar covers. Comes with single-conductor hookup cable.

THE BEST P-90 sound you'll get

Like the previous reviewer I'm getting ready to install my 3rd set of Phat Cats-this time on a tele. My first two went on a Les Paul and a Dot.

I've already got humbucker-sized P-90s on the tele (another brand) but they don't come close to what the Phat Cats do.

Don't skimp on 'other' brands. What you pay for the Phat Cats is what you get- the best P-90 sound there is, IMO.

That's one FAT Phat Cat!

I installed this beauty in the neck position of my Epi Les Paul Classic. The tone is awesome! The output is hot. It's very strong in the midrange and cuts through the mud. The depth of the tone defies description other than to say - Whoa! I could see this pickup being an asset in any position. Dig in!

Just the ticket

I earn my living playing music. Tele's have been my weapon of choice for years, and they still are, naturally because of the bridge pickup. I never imagined any other pickup than a single coil Tele could produce a good country-rock/blues tone. The Phat Cats do that and more. They can go from sparkling cleans, with meaty bottom end, to excellent crunch and distortion. The neck pickup is bluesy as any Strat or LP humbucker. Both pickups together sound close to a 2nd 0r 4th switch-position Strat. Easy to install, quiet as a mouse with good shielding, and I play through a Blues Deville w/four 10's..a match made in guitar heaven. A full, clear sound, equally distributed across all 6 strings.
