StewMac Parsons Street Soapbar P-90 Pickup, Bridge Position, Original, Black Cover

StewMac Parsons Street Soapbar P-90 Pickups

From the coil wire to the material of the magnet and bobbin, these are a tone time machine!

Our own Erick Coleman tracked down priceless original P-90s sets and meticulously studied the materials and construction that gives these pickups their truly timeless tone. It may be a simple design, but unlocking those secrets gave us some of the best sounding P-90s on the market.

P-90s have a tone that can carry a jazz band or cut through a stack of Marshalls. The Alnico 5 magnets have a tone that's bright and glassy, with great mid-range punch, and clear, smooth bass.

Just like the OG - Named for the famous Kalamazoo street where the original P-90 was born, we preserve that lineage in every pickup. The bobbin is vintage-style black plastic with original-style enameled coil wire and unpotted for an authentic, slightly grittier sound.

All the tone and no hum! The neck position is reverse wound/reverse polarity (RWRP) for hum cancellation in the middle position. For vintage non-hum-canceling wiring, use two "original" bridge pickups.

Direct replacement design compatibleStewMac Parsons Street P-90s are direct compatible replacements in Gibson Les Paul Juniors, SG Juniors, and SG Specials, plus archtop and semi-hollowbody Gibsons made for P-90s. A great choice for that raw vintage tone.
