Seymour Duncan P-90 Pickups

Seymour Duncan P-90 Pickups for Recording

In the studio, the pickup is the first microphone in the chain. Seymour Duncan's P-90 soapbars offer three voicings, which makes them useful for producers who want to tailor a guitar to the track in front of them rather than fix it later with EQ.

The SP90-1 Vintage suits sessions where you're chasing a classic character. The SP90-2 Hot is the option for tracks that need a more forceful guitar presence in the mix. The SP90-3 Custom adds a third voicing to audition. Neck ("n") and bridge ("b") versions let you shape rhythm and lead tones separately, and mixing voicings across positions is an easy experiment during tracking.

Black and cream covers keep a session guitar looking the part. Studio Gears carries the family at a single price point, so you can compare voicings and build the guitar sound your recordings need.

Wiring: factory lead wiring varies by model. Each product page states whether that pickup ships 1-conductor or 4-conductor; where a 4-conductor version is not the stock build it is a special order (about 3 weeks, extra cost).

Seymour Duncan P-90 Pickups - frequently asked questions

What do the model names like SP90-1n and SP90-2b mean on Seymour Duncan P-90 pickups?

The SP90 prefix marks the P-90 family. The number is the voicing: 1 is the Vintage P90, 2 is the Hot P90 and 3 is the Custom P90. The final letter is the position, with "n" for neck and "b" for bridge. So an SP90-2b is a Hot P90 for the bridge.

What is the difference between the Seymour Duncan Vintage, Hot and Custom P90 soapbars?

The range has three voicings: the SP90-1 Vintage P90, the SP90-2 Hot P90 and the SP90-3 Custom P90. Seymour Duncan P-90s sit between single-coil and humbucker voicing for many players. Pricing is consistent across the family, so the choice comes down to the voicing you want, the position and the cover color.

Can I mix different P90 voicings in a neck and bridge set, and what colors are available?

Yes. Buyers pairing a neck and bridge set can use the same voicing in both positions or mix them. Most models come in black or cream soapbar covers, so you can match your guitar's look or contrast with it. Check the product grid for current availability of each voicing, position and color.
