GibsonP-90 Soapbar Underwound Single-Coil Pickup Black
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
This black soapbar P-90 uses an underwound single-coil design that delivers less output than a standard P-90. The result is described as bright and clear at any volume, with defined harmonic overtones and less damping of string vibration. An Alnico III magnet, two-conductor wiring, and wax potting complete the design; the potting is intended to eliminate unwanted microphonic feedback. It is specified for use in any pickup position.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a P-90 in any designated guitar position with a black soapbar cover.
- Pairing with P-90 DC or traditional P-90 pickups in the same guitar.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking the higher output of a standard P-90.
