Buy the Neck for smooth, compressed vintage tone in the neck slot; buy the Bridge for balanced presence and definition up front, or pair them together for hum-cancelling hum-free operation.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use just one of these pickups, or do they need to be paired?
Either pickup works standalone in its respective position. However, the RW/RP configuration of the Neck model is specifically designed to pair with the Bridge model for hum-cancelling operation; using them together eliminates noise that might otherwise occur.
What's the difference in output and tone between them?
The Neck has lower resistance (7.8 ohms) with smooth treble roll-off and compressed response ideal for thick, woody rhythm tones. The Bridge has higher output (8.6 kΩ) with fuller midrange punch and articulate highs better suited to lead clarity and presence.
Are these suitable for both vintage and modern playing styles?
Yes—both pickups are voiced for blues, rock, jazz, and indie styles across all skill levels. The hand-wound construction and Alnico II magnets deliver authentic vintage character while modern reliability makes them adaptable to contemporary applications without sounding dated.
Will the Bridge pickup fit my guitar without modification?
The Bridge pickup is a direct drop-in replacement for standard Gibson P90 dog ear routes with no modification required. Verify your guitar has a Gibson P90 route before purchasing.
