Description
Seymour Duncan SP90-3n Custom P90 Soapbar Cream Pickup
The SP90-3n delivers the midrange punch and articulate highs that define the P90 character, with a smooth response that sits naturally in both rhythm and lead contexts. This neck-position pickup pairs vintage warmth with modern consistency, making it an ideal choice for players restoring or upgrading Gibson-style P90 guitars. The cream finish integrates seamlessly with classic instrument aesthetics while the potted construction ensures rock-solid reliability without unwanted noise.
Tone & Construction
A ceramic magnet paired with 12K DC resistance produces the balanced, woody response P90 pickups are known for—rich fundamentals with definition across the frequency spectrum. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic squeal, delivering clean, stable output whether playing at bedroom levels or on stage.
Installation & Compatibility
This pickup is a direct drop-in replacement for Gibson-sized P90 soapbar cavities, requiring no routing or modification. The .585" height profile and single-conductor braided hookup cable ensure straightforward wiring, and since it's fully passive, no battery or external power source is needed.
