A "Vintage" P90 in the Seymour Duncan Range
The SP90-1N is Seymour Duncan's offering for those seeking a neck P90 pickup with a classic character: a lively sound, touch-responsive, with that typical bite that naturally sits well in a mix. In Soapbar format, it fits perfectly into a clean aesthetic, here in black finish, while retaining the expected sonic DNA of a traditional P90.
For Which Styles and Guitars?
In the neck position, this P90 is particularly suited to styles where expressiveness is key: jazz and swing for rich chords, blues for nuances and sustain, rockabilly and country for articulation, as well as classic rock and heavy rock when pushing the amp. It responds very well to volume and pick attack variations, making it an excellent choice for guitarists who control their tone with their fingers.
Tone, Balance, and Dynamics: The SP90-1N Signature
With its Alnico V magnet and neck-specific voicing, the SP90-1N delivers full lows, present mids, and enough clarity to keep notes clear even on complex chords. Its output level and resonance peak contribute to this very P90 blend: a slightly rough texture, a nice "growl" when attacked hard, and immediate musicality for melodic lines.
