                         ​P90 PICKUP REPLACEMENTS

P90s are very versatile pickups. Their tone has a lot of midrange, but still retains a brighter and more transparent high end than humbuckers. P90s are well-suited for playing blues, jazz, rock or even metal. My P90 sets cover the whole scale from lower output vintage pickups to modern high gain pickups. I offer P90 soapbar pickups with 49,2 mm (1.937"), 50 mm (1.968") and 52 mm (2.047") pole piece spacing, which is why they can be used with any bridge or trem. All my P90s are also available in Dogear style.
