Seymour Duncan SP90-1n Vintage P90 Soapbar Cream Pickup

Seymour Duncan SP90-1n Vintage P90 Soapbar Cream Pickup

The SP90-1n captures the warm, articulate character of a classic P90 with Seymour Duncan's refined engineering. Designed for neck-position tracking, this pickup excels at clean tones with natural breakup and tracks consistently across jazz, blues, and vintage rock sessions. The cream soapbar housing fits cleanly into standard P90 routes for seamless studio integration.

Tone & Output

A DC resistance of 8.22 kΩ with dual Alnico V bar magnets produces a warm, resonant output centered at 4.3 KHz. The EQ curve—bass 5, mids 5, treble 7—emphasizes upper harmonics while maintaining body and low-end presence, translating to clean definition in the mix and articulate driven tones without excessive harshness during layering.

Construction & Materials

Wax potted construction eliminates microphonic feedback, ensuring stable, quiet tracking in close-miked or direct recording scenarios. Short, wide bobbins paired with plain enamel wire deliver the vintage character and natural compression associated with classic P90 designs, while the single-conductor cable simplifies studio wiring and integration with recording gear.
