P90s are wonderful. They were my first love, as a big fan of Leslie West, as well as Johnny Thunders, and the sleaze he pioneered. They took a backseat, as I dove deeper into guitar. But today I’ve learned to appreciate their other side: those defined clean tones. Thanks for this vid.

Apparently Mike Ness became a fan of P90s after touring with Neil Young and chatting to Neil’s guitar tech. Would love to get one of those Gibson Mike Ness signature guitars but I aint got a spare 6 grand. I’ve got an exact replica of Johnny Thunders Chinese script TV Yellow LP Junior, handmade by Billy Rowe of Rock n Roll Relics guitars it’s the only one in existence and it’s endorsed by Thunders Estate. P90s do have a unique tone

Social D has been my favorite band for 30 years. Best guitar tone ever. I got a PRS SE One (their version of LP Jr.) a Fender Bassbreaker, and TS-9. It gets pretty close at manageable volumes. That tone is worth every bit of that 60 cycle hum.

Put a Fralin noiseless humbucker sized P90 in my 335 neck position and it has made it so versatile. I’m currently doing musical theater pit work which requires a huge range of tones and that pickup and one drive pedal gave me everything I needed.

I went down the humbucker sized P90 route myself for my Les Paul a few years ago. They were good pickups and I quite enjoyed them. But even though they do a good job, they weren't quite the same so I thought I'd quite like to actually own a guitar with P90s, because it's about the only pickup configs that I don't, nor ever, have owned.....which is ridiculous considering they're in my top 3 guitar tones, and have always enjoyed playing the Les Paul specials and juniors that I've had the chance to play. So I thought I'd give myself an excuse to buy a new guitar, and ended up with a used Yamaha Revstar for a reasonable price. It's a really nice guitar and the P90s sound fantastic. The humbucker P90s are a good option if you don't want to buy a specific guitar, but I'm glad I bought that Revstar, plus I've also got the option to change to mini humbuckers if I ever want to try them, as they're another pickup I've never owned, so we will see 😆👍

Almost 50 years ago, as a teenager, my first Gibson guitar was a used Les Paul Gold Top with P-90 pickups. They were, still, the best pick ups I have ever played, including for finger-style, Roy Buchanan "singing" telecaster sounds, Jeff Beck "growls" and for jazz.. With P-90 pickups, the LP was my perfect all-round gigging guitar. Maybe you could discuss or compare P-100 pick ups? They're a bit of a mystery.

I don't think the p100s are even in the same ballpark. In the 90s, I bought a LP Special at Umanov in Manhattan that had those. Hands down the worst pickups I ever had. Just bland, characterless pieces of garbage. No bite, no bottom. As my Mom would've said, "comparisons are odious!"

Pickups sound terrific. Not only do they give you that really nice bright shimmer & twang, but the bridge pickup also gives that really slick mid-60s Steve Cropper soul vibe. I became a fan of P90s from listening to Pete Townsend's tone from the late 1960s, when he was playing an SG with P90s.

My go-to for showcasing P-90s are from late 60s early 70s: Who live recordings of that period and Leslie West with "Mountain". Leslie West opening solo prologue to "Roll over Beethoven" on the opening live track of "Flowers of Evil" REALLY showcases versatility and dynamics unique to a P-90. All the more impressive is that he is using a single pickup Les Paul Jr for that amazing performance.

My favorite neck P90 is the PRail P coil. Its bobbin is narrower and shorter, and that gives it a sound a little closer to a Strat -- peak frequency higher than a regular P - no mud, and not honky or too pushy. You actually can split it off from the rail and it fits under a standard Gibson style cover. It’s gorgeous.

I am in the middle of a build using these. The prototype using these does, as you say, sound gorgeous! They are a bit high output but this can be compensated for by lowering the pickup away from the strings. This reduces the magnetic choking a lot. Give it a try. Take your amp to breakup and you get a really good vintage tone.

It is so neat, Phillip, that you chose to play a guitar in the Telecaster shape. I have owned four Tele-type instruments myself, and my current one is a Modern Player Deluxe Thinline, essentially the Jim Adkins signature with a maple fingerboard and without his name. Don't recall if Fender has ever built their own P90s the way they've built their own humbuckers, but this model and the Jim Adkins signature were (I think) both loaded with Seymour Duncan soapbar P90s. I definitely like the way they sizzle when you drive them. I never thought about the notion of amid boost sounding like the guitar had a cold. The most of my adult life, my Pursuit was an emulation of the guitar sound achieved late in the 70s by Tom Scholz. Do people think the Boston guitars sound like they've got a cold?

It'd be interesting to hear you run the P90s through the EQ, with the "inverse" of the curve you were using with the Strat pickups. I.e., would it be possible to make the P90s sound like the Strat? Not that you'd necessarily want to do that, just for the fun of experimentation.

@@aniquinstark4347 I’m not sure that is true because if what you’re saying is true, there maybe be no reason to buy any other guitar than the one you have if the tone of all others can be “replicated” simply with an EQ device and/or knob fiddling. My feeling is that at even at the most highly focused and most finely tuned eq adjusting and knob tweaking rarely ever really gets one pickup in a guitar to sound like a different pickup type in another guitar in any “ballpark” way, to say nothing of “replicating” it. The “just Eq a Strat right and it will sound like a Les Paul (or vice versa)”remains a scientifically impossible and yet intoxicating thing of dreams.

I started watching Phil McNight's channel With the "Sharpen My Axe" series. I started on my Vantage guitar from 1981. , The pots were showing wear & I was never 100% with the pickups. Over the years it became a favorite & taught 3 generations how to play guitar. I amire how Phil has this ability to pick the perfect pickup for the guitar of discussion. My Vantage is my Frankenstein, so many parts have been replaced. This has led me to be a Warmoth customer, I have built 4 Strats (I just feel comfortable & like the body style) which all have their own voice. Next is now going to be a P90 Strat with Dylan pickups.

👍👍 I could have some fun with those pickups. One thing you didn't mention is what pots you went with and/or what Dylan recommends. They sound fantastic ☺️

I just recently bought my first guitar W/ p90s. As a modern metal player I was really hesitant, but honestly I love how much more high end and aggression they have compared to humbuckers. They’re awesome pickups.

Dylan makes beautiful sounding pickups, reasonably priced too. Love Them and your playing and demonstration. P90 pickups are what made Townshend Live At Leeds and Woodstock so Great. Thank You

Now I need to go back and listen to the video you did with the shoot out between the pickup types. Up until that video I thought P90's was my favorite sound, but I became convinced that I liked the Filter-trons a bit more... But these pickups sound absolutely fantastic. They make all the sounds I want.

Had some ceramic p90s on one of my guitars and it had the exact problem you mentioned. That is, the neck was super bassy. Since then switched to alnico5 pickups and man the neck is a bliss! But yeah the bridge pickup at first was really bright especially compared to the previous ceramic one I had installed stock. But guys, play with the height of you pickups and individual poles if you can, cause man, by lowering the bridge pickup and fine tuning each pole closer to the strings I was able to retain the pleasent highs and bring that mid range as shown in this video, the guitar is really amazing now and really close to what I heard here which makes me really happy that I got the "P90 sound" right, out of my guitar after minor adjustments and upgrading to alnico5 PUs. Cheers and thanks for the great video Philip!

I put a Seymour Duncan Phat Cat P90 in the neck of my Les Paul Modern. It brought the guitar to life! I could hear notes being played on the low strings!
