Seymour Duncan SP90-3 Custom Soapbar P-90 Bridge Pickup - cream

The Seymour Duncan SP90-3 Custom Soapbar P-90 Bridge Pickup - cream. FREE shipping anywhere in the USA!

Application
High output P-90. Excellent for modern country, heavy blues, classic rock, hard rock, punk, garage and metal.

Description
Unlike the SP90-2 Hot, the Custom uses two large ceramic magnets for extra output, more compressed dynamics and sharper attack. The result is a full frequency response with extra punch. Comes with single-conductor hookup cable. Slightly shorter .585" height profile.

Complete setup
Available for both neck and bridge positions in a balanced set. Often, the SP90-3 Custom is used in the bridge with an SP90-1 Vintage in the neck position for tonal versatility.

Guitars
For balanced and brighter-toned instruments. Works especially well with maple and ebony fingerboards.

Available mods
Choose cream or black cover (included).

About the Guitars: We used a '56 Gold Top Les Paul with a fresh set of American Flyer 10-46 gauge strings.

About the Amps: We employed the "highest common denominator" philosophy in our amp selection. For clean tones, we used a silverface Fender Super Reverb with stock 4x10 "blue frame" speakers. We kept the Bright Switch "On" throughout. For crunch tones, we used a well-worn Marshall JCM 800 50 watt master volume head through a new Marshall 1960A Celestion®-loaded 4x12 cabinet. We plugged into the High output. With both amps we close miked straight-on with SM-57s through a Soundcraft Spirit Folio Mixer.
