Seymour Duncan SP90-1n Vintage P90 Soapbar Black Pickup

Seymour Duncan SP90-1n Vintage P90 Soapbar Black Pickup

The SP90-1n delivers the articulate, punchy character that made P90s legendary in vintage guitars, with a responsive feel that sits perfectly in the neck position. This single-coil design captures the brightness and definition of classic soapbar pickups while maintaining the warmth and midrange presence that defines the P90 voice. Built for players who value authenticity and tonal transparency without compromise.

Tone & Output Character

Dual Alnico V bar magnets and plain enamel wire construction create a pickup with remarkable clarity across the frequency spectrum. The 4.3 kHz resonant peak emphasizes the upper midrange and presence region, delivering articulate single-note definition and a natural breakup character that responds directly to pick attack and playing dynamics.

Construction & Wiring

Hand-crafted with short-wide bobbins and wax potted for elimination of microphonic feedback, this pickup achieves vintage-correct specifications including the 0.745" height profile. The included vintage braided single-conductor hookup cable maintains authenticity, while the 8.22 kΩ DC resistance ensures compatibility with standard guitar wiring schemes.
