Seymour Duncan SP90 1NCR Vintage P-90 Soapbar Pickup-Cream

The P-90 is kind of unusual, when you get down to it. It’s hotter and ruder than a regular single coil, yet not as muscular as the average humbucker. It occupies an area somewhere between the two, but with plenty of its own character as well. And it’s one of the oldest pickup styles still in use today.

We offer plenty of different P-90s for different types of guitar and different musical styles. First and foremost, the models made in the Antiquity room are designed to be incredibly faithful to the originals. They feature the same hand-fabricated bobbins, the same wire and “flatback” tape as the originals, and they use two special Dun-Aged ™ Alnico II magnets attached to a precision metal spacer. And of course there are six fillister head pole pieces. The Antiquity P-90 is available in cream or black covers, or in a “Dog Ear” version with an aged thermoformed black cover. All are available in neck or bridge models.

If you’re after an authentic vintage-style soapbar P-90, check out the Vintage Soapbar SP90-1. This pickup is a faithful recreation of the 1946 Gibson® P-90, and it’s wound with plain enamel wire on the same Leesona machine which wound the 1950s versions. Again it’s available in both neck and bridge versions, in cream or black covers.
