Vintage Alnico II

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.

Proper Staple

21mm Long Alnico 5 bars

Inspired by the earliest p90, these have long rectangular Alnico 5 poles. Giving a brighter more Strat-like tone, but fuller and more powerful.
Classically paired with standard p90/humbucker in the neck & staples in the bridge.
Sounds great with Staples in both.

Round Staple

Vintage Alnico V

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.

Overwound Underwound

Most Vintage wound Pickups can be Overwound to Vintage-Hot wind for more presence and for brighter guitars or just for a bit more grunt and a more modern sound.

Sandcast p90

Sandcast (as opposed to polished) magnets were originally used for p90 & HB pickups. For a more authentic tone.

The rough surface of the magnet unevenly distributes the magnetic field, resulting in a slight smoothing out of the top end.
