The Alnico Rod Hum Cancelling P-90 offers a brighter, more “Fender-like” sound compared to a traditional P-90. It features increased top-end sparkle, a cleaner tone with enhanced articulation, and retains a loud and beefy midrange, all while eliminating hum. The key to this pickup’s exceptional sound lies in the Alnico 5 Magnets used instead of traditional steel pole pieces, providing that clear, bell-like Fender tone you know and love.
The Hum-Cancelling P-90 with Alnico Rods is the perfect pickup for a cleaner, more articulate P-90 pickup. It has an airiness and sparkle not found with adjustable pole pieces. It’s also great for those looking to balance a dark guitar. You’ll find that this pickup stays clean while still having a fat, beefy midrange and thickness commonly found with P-90 pickups.
While we refer to this pickup as a P-90, it’s not a traditional P-90. Traditional P-90s are known for their snarly midrange and stiffer top end. The Hum-Cancelling P-90 with Alnico Rods pickup, on the other hand, offers a softer, cleaner sound with the familiar ‘sparkle’. This pickup is available in all our Soapbar and Dogear versions, offering a unique alternative to traditional P-90s.
Features:
- Alnico Rods for a Fender-type sparkle
- Soapbar / Dogear construction
- Hum-free design for completely noiseless operation
- Raised Beveled D String for optimal string balance
- 49.5mm Standard Spacing, with an option for 52mm Bridges (Black & Cream Soapbar only)
- Wound with USA-Made 42 Gauge SPN Wire
- Backed by our 10 Year Warranty against manufacturing defects
- Wax Potted to prevent microphonics and corrosion
The Alnico Noiseless P-90 will sound like a regular P-90, but with a familiar Fender sparkle on the top-end. Clean and articulate when playing without distortion. You’ll find that the nuances of your playing will come out as this pickup “breathes” more than it’s compressed P-90 counterpart. With distortion, you’ll find a smooth, late breakup with a familiar Fender Strat-type tone. Expect a clear pick attack and a warmer midrange.
This midrange of this pickup is pronounced as well. You’ll find that the Alnico Noiseless P-90 will still sound fat and beefy!
Note:
Are you looking for more of a traditional P90 tone? You won’t find that here. This model features a more “Fender” quality to it. If you’re looking for a traditional P90 tone, check out our P-90 and Hum Cancelling P-90.
