Description
Seymour Duncan SP90-3n Custom P90 Soapbar Black Pickup
The SP90-3n delivers the classic P90 character with an overwound coil that pushes output and midrange presence without sacrificing the pickup's inherent warmth and articulation. Built as a direct drop-in replacement for Gibson-sized P90 soapbar cavities, this neck-position pickup slots seamlessly into existing instruments. The ceramic magnet construction and single-conductor wiring provide straightforward integration with minimal fuss.
Tone & Output
An overwound design paired with two large ceramic magnets produces a hotter output than stock P90 specifications while maintaining the vintage character P90 players expect. The 8K DC resistance positions this pickup in the meatier part of the P90 spectrum, ideal for blues, classic rock, and vintage-influenced tones with enough body to cut through a mix on stage.
Installation & Compatibility
The 0.585" height profile and soapbar form factor make this a true Gibson P90 replacement with no routing required. Single-conductor hookup cable and braided shield are included, and the straightforward wiring scheme keeps installation uncomplicated for tech work or player modifications.
