With warm woody tones from the neck and smooth sustain from the bridge. The earliest p90s used Alnico 3 and produced smooth singing voices great for clean Jazz. My early 50's p90.

Alnico 5 gives the bright clear and powerful tone. Clear highs, slightly scooped mids and beefy lows. Great for rock tones and screaming solos. Clarity and power! My late 50's p90.

Lush p90-like tones in a mini-humbucker sized package. Contact me directly to discuss this option.

A smooth pickups with open woody tones from the neck and warm smooth tones from the bridge, With less mids than Alnico 3 and slightly more pronounced bass, this uncommon choice for a p90 is especially good for brighter guitars where more warmth is needed and for Jazz and clean Blues tones.

Powerful Alnico 8 magnet adds more aggression and power to the mix. Clear in voice these sound more compressed and focused with plenty of bite. Will happily accept more winds to increase the Power! Great for breaking up a tube amp.

Inspired by the earliest p90, these have long rectangular Alnico 5 poles. Giving a brighter more Strat-like tone, but fuller and more powerful.
If pairing with standard p90/humbucker I recommend using the Bridge pickup.

Note: 22mm long magnets need space below the pickup. Measure your cavity

Unusual for a p90, Alnico 4 offers a more even response from each string and bridges the balance between warmth and clarity. Brings a great sounding guitar to life. Greater power and suitable from jazz to rock.

My take on the staple style p90. Originals had long rectangular mini Alnico bars (instead of screws and the bar magnets), giving a brighter & quicker tone.

Gives a snappier tone in the neck, great for a particularly warm guitar. Great pairing with a standard p90 in the bridge. More Tele/Hot Strat like tone on the bridge. Staple Tone, where space below the pickup is limited.
