From the golden age of Gibson’s wild 1970s comes this 1977 Gibson P-90, stamped 487 581 on the baseplate and reading a healthy 8.24kΩ on the meter. This isn’t some reissue or boutique knock-off—it’s a true piece of Kalamazoo iron, born in an era when tone was raw, unapologetic, and dripping with character.

Slide it under the strings and you’ll hear why P-90s are the bad boys of Gibson pickups—punchy midrange bite, gritty growl when you dig in, and sweet cleans that sparkle when you ease off. It’s no wonder this design has fueled everything from early rock ’n’ roll to punk and beyond.

Specs & Features:

  • Original Gibson P-90 (1977)
  • Factory-stamped baseplate: 487 581
  • Strong output: 8.24kΩ
  • Braided single conductor lead intact
  • Classic dogfight between single-coil clarity and humbucker muscle

This is the pickup that defined an era—perfect for your vintage restoration or for giving your modern guitar some authentic ’70s bite.
