Seymour Duncan SP90-3b Custom P90 Soapbar Cream Pickup

Seymour Duncan SP90-3b Custom P90 Soapbar Cream Pickup

The SP90-3b Custom P90 Soapbar sits in your instrument with a warm, articulate character that cuts through a live mix without sacrificing the body needed for thick, sustained notes. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, this single-coil design bridges vintage P90 soul with modern consistency—whether you're tracking surf, jazz, or alternative on stage or in the studio. The cream finish pairs naturally with both vintage and contemporary guitars, aging gracefully through years of gigging.

Tone & Output

Dual large ceramic magnets focus the frequency response with peaks at 3.5 kHz (bridge) and 4.5 kHz (neck), delivering presence that stays musical and never harsh. The 6/5/6 EQ signature (bass/mid/treble) holds a balanced character across the full spectrum, while moderate DC resistance of 14.6 kOhm (bridge) and 12 kOhm (neck) keeps dynamics responsive and articulation clean—translating to punchy cleans and driven tones that lock in a mix.

Construction & Specifications

Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and guarantees long-term road reliability, while the 0.585" height profile fits standard P90 soapbar routing in most instruments. Each pickup ships with a single-conductor braided hookup cable for plug-and-play installation, backed by Seymour Duncan's meticulous hand-assembly process in their California workshop—proven consistency for working musicians.
