Gibson P90 Soapbar Creme

Pickup

Before Gibson developed the legendary PAF humbucker, the P90 Soap Bar single coil was built into most Gibsons as a standard pickup. In the 70s and 80s this classic was overlooked, but in recent years the Soapbar has experienced a renaissance in many guitars. An especially popular combination: mahogany guitar with P90. Nowadays hardly any manufacturers have such a model as part of their product range.

What many guitarists love about the P90 / 94: Open sound and dynamics of a single coil pickup along with the bite and (if desired) distortion of a humbucker. The ideal pickup for Blues-/Crunch-sound. In comparison to the original, the P90 has greater output. A very hot tip for slide guitarists as well!

sweet lord it sings

johnnygraveyard 11.02.2019

I use it as a neck pickup in a Harley Benton les paul type guitar. At home with Laney TT20 tube combo, and numerous large tube amps, Marshall, Peavey, Vox, you name it. Every single person, including the pro tech guy who built it in was amazed by the tone of this thing. It is just amazingly beautiful whether used clean or gritty. I have had P90 pickups before, different ones, and I like them in general, but nothing so far comes close to this Gibson bar of beauty. I am so happy I chose this. I am not even a great player, but it just sounds beautiful even in my hands.

Perfection!

Anonymous 04.06.2016

I purchased a pair of these,neck and bridge to convert a '91 all-gold Deluxe from its original Mini Humbuckers to P90's,wanting to keep it 100% Gibson even if modified...obviously I've done it in such a way as to be totally reversible and I've kept the minis but can't see myself ever switching back!....these P90's are just perfect,excellent string to string balance requiring little polepiece adjustment,quite low noise for a single coil,no squeal and super punch and clarity when clean turning to harmonically rich and deep crunch as the gain goes up...they work really well with pedals ranging from Tubescreamer to Big Muff to a pretty vicious BOSS FZ3 and handle very high gain with ease...
I was initially playing through a Blues Deluxe but also use the LP with SS amps and just love the sound of these! Full marks to Gibson on these!

Suena a lo que debe sonar

JorgeCR 18.11.2020

Compré esta pastilla para reemplazar una mini-humbucker en la posición de puente de mi Gibson SG special. Suena a lo que debe sonar: es "gruesa" y "ruge", más agudos y complejidad que una humbucker, pero a la vez tiene una gran sensibilidad a la intensidad con que tocas el intrumento y al control de volumen. Es perfecta para cualquier estilo que requiera sonidos más vintage: blues, rock clásico, folk rock, punk, powerpop, country...

Excellent micro pour ce prix

Olivier568 07.05.2013

Excellent micro pour ce prix, le son que l'on attend d'un p90.
Mais il est bizarrement livré avec deux vis identiques à celles qui permettent de fixer un humbucker (on les voit sur la photo) et qui là ne sont d'aucune utilité puisqu'il faut des vis " à bois" qui doivent entrer dans le bois du fond de la cavité micro. J'ai du en acheter ailleurs pour pouvoir fixer mon micro. Sans elles, impossible de fixer le micro. C'est pas cool...et pas sérieux de la part de la maison Gibson..!
