No Expense Spared. No Compromise.
Professional guitarists use Tone Specific P90s over cheap stock pickups because they deliver unmatched warmth, dynamics, and vintage-correct responsiveness that mass-produced pickups simply can’t replicate.
Stock P90s in most factory guitars are machine-wound with lower-grade materials, resulting in harsh highs, weak mids, and an overall flat, uninspiring tone that lacks depth and nuance. This makes it difficult to achieve the signature gritty yet articulate sound that defines great P90 tones.
Tone Specific P90s, on the other hand, are meticulously hand-wound using proprietary techniques and premium materials, ensuring superior touch sensitivity, sustain, and harmonic complexity.
These pickups provide a perfect balance of warmth, punch, and clarity, allowing pro players to seamlessly transition between smooth, jazzy cleans and raw, overdriven growl with incredible dynamic control. For musicians who refuse to compromise on tone, Tone Specific P90s offer the expressive feel, rich midrange, and vintage-authentic sound that stock pickups simply cannot match.
Many players have a love/hate relationship with P-90's. This is due to the fact that many P-90's on the market lack the warmth and dynamics of our 1946 Deluxe P90. Our 1946 P-90's are super sensitive and articulate while being very warm and dynamic. If you are the type of player that likes to dial in different tones with your guitars volume/tone pots, then you are in for a real treat.
We have a hard time making these quickly enough because pro's are putting these in all of their main guitars including their vintage guitars.
