Seymour Duncan SP90-2b Hot P90 Soapbar Cream Pickup

Seymour Duncan SP90-2b Hot P90 Soapbar Cream Pickup

The SP90-2b Hot delivers the classic P90 voice with elevated output and presence, sitting comfortably in the sweet spot between vintage warmth and modern aggression. Its slightly shortened profile (.585") makes installation seamless in Gibson-sized P90 soapbar routes, while the hand-built construction ensures consistent tone across every unit.

Tone & Output Character

With a resistance of 11.86 kΩ and a peak frequency at 5.1 kHz, this pickup emphasizes midrange clarity and articulation without sacrificing the thick, woody character P90 players expect. Two small ceramic bar magnets provide punchy response ideal for blues, rock, and punk applications where definition matters on stage.

Construction & Installation

Each pickup is hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA and vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphonic feedback and ensure long-term reliability through heavy gigging. The single-conductor hookup cable simplifies wiring, and the proven drop-in design fits standard Gibson P90 soapbar routes without modification—get it in your instrument and on the road fast.
