Seymour Duncan P90 Silencer Dog Ear Hot Black Pickup Set vs Seymour Duncan P90 Silencer Dog Ear Hot Cream Pickup Set
Both are noiseless P90 dog-ear sets with identical DC resistance specs (11.76k bridge), but the Black is tuned aggressively for rock and hard rock with emphasized treble, while the Cream offers a warmer, more balanced midrange suited to blues, indie, and jazz.

Frequently asked questions
What's the actual DC resistance difference between these two?
Both sets share identical bridge DC resistance at 11.76k. The Black lists 9.74k for the neck; the Cream spec sheet does not specify neck resistance separately, suggesting both positions may be 11.76k in the Cream set. This indicates the Black neck is slightly lower output.
Which is better for jazz?
The Cream is explicitly listed for jazz in its best-for genres, while the Black explicitly notes jazz as not ideal. The Cream's warmer, balanced midrange suits jazz better; the Black's aggressive treble can cut too sharply in that context.
Do both eliminate hum the same way?
Yes. Both use noiseless technology to eliminate 60-cycle hum without coil-splitting or compromising traditional P90 character. Installation and noise performance are functionally equivalent between the two.
Which is more beginner-friendly?
The Cream explicitly lists beginner skill level as appropriate; the Black starts at intermediate. The Cream's warm, forgiving tone requires less aggressive amplification to sound musical, making it safer for developing players.
