Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around an underwound P-90 design, this soapbar single-coil trades some output against a standard P-90 for a brighter, clearer response. Harmonic overtones stay defined, while the reduced winding is designed to dampen string vibration less. Two-conductor wiring keeps the connection straightforward, and wax potting is used to prevent unwanted microphonic feedback. Its any-position designation allows it to be used wherever the guitar’s pickup layout calls for it.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a P-90 in any designated guitar position while retaining clear, bright output.
- 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.
