Description
Seymour Duncan SP90-2n Hot P90 Soapbar Cream Pickup
The SP90-2n Hot delivers a punchy, articulate P90 voice with enough output to cut through a mix without sacrificing the classic soapbar character. This ceramic magnet design sits at the aggressive end of the P90 spectrum, making it ideal for players chasing vintage tones with modern presence and sustain that hold up on stage and in the studio.
Tone & Output
A peak frequency of 5.1 kHz and 11.86 kΩ resistance give this pickup a focused midrange presence that projects well in live and recorded settings, working equally at home with clean tones and high-gain rigs. The elevated output handles overdrive and distortion with clarity while maintaining the warmth and woody character inherent to P90 design.
Construction & Reliability
Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squeal, ensuring rock-solid performance under any playing condition or amplifier setting—essential for gigging musicians who need consistency night after night. The reverse wind reverse polarity (RWRP) configuration enables hum-cancelling in humbucker-to-P90 mixed pickup configurations without sacrificing the single-coil tonal character.

Frequently Asked Questions
What genres and playing styles is this pickup best suited for?
The SP90-2n Hot excels in blues, rock, punk, and indie music. Its aggressive output and articulate midrange work well for players pushing overdrive and distortion, though it's less ideal for jazz and folk applications where warmer, more vintage single-coil voicings are often preferred.
Will this pickup fit my guitar?
The SP90-2n Hot is a drop-in replacement for any Gibson-sized P90 soapbar route. The .585-inch height profile and single-conductor design make installation straightforward, and it ships with a braided hookup cable ready to connect.
How does the output level compare to other P90s, and will it work with my amplifier?
The ceramic magnet design pushes this pickup to the aggressive end of the P90 spectrum with elevated output that cuts through a mix on both clean and driven tones. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squeal under any playing condition or amplifier setting, ensuring stable operation whether you're playing bedroom levels or stage volume.
Can I mix this with a humbucker in the same guitar?
Yes. The reverse wind reverse polarity (RWRP) configuration enables hum-cancelling when paired with a standard humbucker, allowing you to blend single-coil P90 character with humbucker noise rejection in mixed pickup setups.
What skill level do I need to install this?
The SP90-2n Hot works for players from beginner to professional and ships ready to drop in with its included braided cable, making the installation process straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic soldering or working with a qualified technician.
