Seymour Duncan Phat Cat Silencer Neck Gold Pickup

Seymour Duncan Phat Cat Silencer Neck Gold Pickup

The Phat Cat Silencer Neck captures warm, vintage P90 character in the studio without the noise floor that compromises single-coil designs during tracking and overdubs. This humbucker-sized drop-in replacement merges classic tone with modern noise rejection, delivering clean, articulate neck-position response across sessions spanning multiple styles and dynamic ranges—from intimate fingerpicking to aggressive playing.

Tone & Recording Response

Built around ceramic magnets and engineered with P90 Silencer noiseless technology, this pickup eliminates 60-cycle hum while preserving the midrange presence and articulation P90s are known for. The 9.74k ohms DC resistance on the neck position provides balanced output with natural breakup characteristics and responsive dynamics that translate well through gain staging and compression chains in your mix.

Design & Studio Integration

Handcrafted in Santa Barbara, California, the Phat Cat Silencer features standard humbucker routing compatibility, allowing seamless installation in any guitar with conventional humbucker cavities—ideal for building dedicated session instruments. The 1 conductor braided shield cable ensures reliable signal transmission and rejection of external interference, reducing noise from studio electronics and RF sources.
