A Hot P90 tailored for bridges that need to "cut" through the mix
The Seymour Duncan SP90-2-C Hot P90 is a beefier take on the traditional P90 pickup, designed for the bridge position. While a vintage P90 focuses on openness and twang, this "Hot" version adds density, output, and a more aggressive edge, perfect for maintaining definition when increasing gain. The result: a pickup that remains expressive with a pick but can also deliver a wall of sound when needed.
For which styles and guitarists?
This pickup is aimed at guitarists who want the P90 tone with a higher power reserve, especially in Heavy Blues, Classic Rock, Hard Rock, Punk, and Metal. In the bridge position, it emphasizes harmonics, enhances attack, and helps riffs stay clear in both standard and lower tunings. It is also well suited for those seeking a pickup responsive to guitar volume variations and right-hand dynamics.
What sets it apart: ceramic magnet and "Hot" winding
The core of the SP90-2-C relies on a small ceramic magnet, chosen for its firmer tone and more immediate response. With a 14.9 kOhm resistance, this Hot P90 offers a high output, ideal for driving the amp's input stage or feeding your overdrive pedals. Its 4.7 kHz peak contributes to presence and clarity in the mix, while retaining the typical P90 sound signature: rich mids and a lively high end. The 1-conductor wiring keeps things simple for an easy and efficient installation, embracing a "plug and rock" spirit.
