Description
Seymour Duncan SP90-2n Hot P90 Soapbar Black Pickup
The SP90-2n Hot delivers punchy, articulate midrange attack with extended output that cuts through a live mix without sacrificing clarity. This ceramic-magnet P90 excels in both vintage and modern applications, producing the soapbar's characteristic warmth while pushing harder into overdrive territory. Hand-built craftsmanship and vacuum wax potting ensure rock-solid reliability and squeal-free operation on stage.
Tonal Character & Output
With 11.86 kΩ resistance and a frequency peak at 5.1 kHz, this pickup emphasizes presence and definition across the midrange—essential for sitting tight in a band mix. The hotter output pairs well with both clean and driven tones, offering enough gain in reserve to drive amp front ends with authority and responsiveness without sounding sterile or overly compressed.
Construction & Installation
Built in Santa Barbara, California using two small ceramic bar magnets, the SP90-2n is a direct drop-in replacement for Gibson-sized P90 soapbar routes. At .585" height, it fits standard P90 cavities without modification, and the included single-conductor braided hookup cable simplifies wiring and reduces installation downtime.
