Gibson P-90 Soapbar Single-Coil Pickup Black

First introduced in the early 1950s, Gibson's legendary P-90 single-coil pickup produced a raw powerful tone that helped define the blues and rock and roll in their formative years. Today, the P-90’s traditional combination of high output and brilliant tone is still considered a favorite among many top musicians. Known by such familiar nicknames as the “Soapbar” and the “Dogear” (both of which describe the two main styles of pickup covers used with P-90 pickups), the P-90 still cuts through any type of music, all while displaying amazing tonal sensitivity for everything from blues and rock to mellow jazz riffs. It's perfect as a vintage replacement and features vintage, braided two-conductor wiring. It's also fully wax potted to eliminate any chance of unwanted microphonic feedback.

Since 1935, the Gibson Pickup Shop has been the source for the world’s finest pickups, including the player-favorite P-90 soapbar single-coil pickup. Each Gibson pickup is crafted in Nashville, TN, from premium materials using time-tested methods. The golden era of Gibson tone returns with the Gibson Pickup Shop Original Collection.
