A "Custom" P-90 Designed for Modern Sounds
The SP90-3B is a "Custom" P90 guitar pickup focused on performance: beefier and more incisive than a vintage P-90, it targets denser sounds that respond faster at the bridge. With its assertive character, it retains the P-90 personality (grain, presence, responsiveness) while gaining firmness and impact for styles that demand power.
For Which Guitarist and Genre?
If you're looking for a bridge pickup capable of handling energetic modern country, punchy classic rock, thick hard rock, aggressive punk/garage, or cutting metal, this Custom P-90 is an excellent candidate. It emphasizes pick attacks, enhances the clarity of saturated chords, and helps leads cut through effortlessly, even in a full band mix.
A Powerful and Precise Sonic Signature
Thanks to its 14.61 k resistance and 3.5 KHz resonance peak, this P-90 offers a focused response with a pronounced presence in the upper mids to maintain definition in overdrive. The large ceramic magnet delivers tighter lows and a more direct attack, useful for palm mutes and fast rhythms. Its 1-conductor wiring favors a simple and efficient installation, ideal for a straightforward and reliable setup.
