50s Historic tone; warm and soulful
The Gibson P-90 Soapbar Alnico V Any Position Single-Coil Pickup (PU90SBBC2) pays homage to the legendary P-90 pickup, first introduced in the early 1950s, renowned for its raw and powerful tone that played a defining role in the blues and rock and roll genres. Today, the P-90's traditional combination of high output and brilliant tone remains a top choice for many musicians. Affectionately known as the "Soapbar," the P-90 cuts through any music style, showcasing remarkable tonal sensitivity suitable for blues, rock, and mellow jazz riffs.
Designed as a vintage replacement, this P-90 features vintage, braided two-conductor wiring and is fully wax potted to eliminate any chance of unwanted microphonic feedback. The Gibson P-90 Soapbar is perfect for those seeking the classic P-90 sound with its timeless combination of power and brilliance.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we like the Gibson P-90 Soapbar for preserving the vintage character and delivering the unmistakable raw and powerful tone that defines the P-90 legacy.
