This model recreates the sound of the vintage P90 Soapbar pickup found in the '52 Goldtop. The Alnico 2 magnet and custom coil create a sweet, mellow tone. The aged cover and even the interior of the cover are meticulously crafted to resemble the vintage instrument.
The innovative three-coil design completely eliminates hum while retaining the bright, warm tone characteristic of the P90. The center P90 coil is noise-canceled by two out-of-phase coils on either side, creating a noise-free playing environment without compromising the classic P90 sound and look.
